The legal position

What Irish Law Actually Requires

Written plainly, with the source named so you can check it yourself.

The law

Fire safety at work in Ireland is governed by the Fire Services Acts 1981 and 2003 and by the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005. Section 18(2) of the Fire Services Act places the duty on the person in control of the premises.

What the person in control must do

  • Take all reasonable measures to guard against the outbreak of fire
  • Provide fire safety measures and fire safety procedures
  • Make sure those measures and procedures are applied at all times
  • Protect people on the premises if a fire does break out

In a school that means

  • Clear escape routes and exits every day
  • Alarms and equipment tested and maintained
  • An evacuation plan that covers every student
  • Regular fire drills, recorded

Your school’s own plan

This course gives staff the knowledge. Each school still needs its own fire safety procedures, evacuation plan and drills.

Be clear about what this course is. It is online fire safety awareness training for school staff. It supports — but does not replace — your school’s own fire safety plan, drills and instruction.
