Sprinkler System
-
If a sprinkler system is installed within your building, checks should be made on a weekly & monthly basis to ensure system operation in event of emergency. The checks below are brief guidance taken from TB203 -Care & Maintenance of Automatic Sprinkler Systems, this should be amended to suit the manufacturers guidance of the system installed within your school.
All water and air pressure gauge readings on installations, trunk mains and pressure tanks should be recorded below.
All water levels in elevated private reservoirs, rivers, canals, lakes, water storage tanks (including pump priming water tanks and pressure tanks)
Please Note: The air pressure in the pipework in dry, alternate and pre-action installations should not fall at a rate of more that 1.0 bar per week or a rate specified by the manufacturer, whichever is lesser. -

Contractor Monitoring
-
It is recommended that schools request contractors to undertake a Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (PQQ) prior to carrying out work on their premises. The information required would enable the school to make a judgement as to whether the contractor is competent to carry out the required tasks.
Along with the aforementioned PQQ, the school should also request and agree to risk assessments and method statements for all works to be carried out. -
