Compliance with fire regulations for schools

Fire safety in schools is governed by strict regulations that vary by state but share one goal—keeping students, staff, and visitors safe in the event of an emergency. Meeting these requirements means more than installing alarms and extinguishers. Schools must ensure every fire protection measure is properly maintained, clearly documented, and compliant with all relevant standards and codes.

At EBC Group, we help educational institutions stay ahead of their compliance obligations. From early learning centres to large campuses, we support schools in understanding and applying fire regulations in practical, site-specific ways. Our team ensures your systems align with the Building Code of Australia, AS 1851, and any state-specific legislation or education department policies that apply to your site.

Tailored fire safety solutions for school environments

Every school layout is different, which means there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to fire safety. We assess the specific use of each area—classrooms, kitchens, labs, sports facilities, and performance halls—to identify potential risks and recommend the right protection measures. Our fire safety strategies are designed to integrate seamlessly with your school’s operations, minimising disruption while meeting every compliance requirement.

We support schools with clear, site-appropriate evacuation diagrams, accurate fire safety documentation, and ongoing maintenance scheduling. Our focus is on creating usable, compliant systems that give principals, facility managers, and education departments the confidence that every part of the school is covered.

Supporting compliant fire protection systems in schools

The systems designed to detect, alert, and suppress fires must be routinely maintained to remain compliant. This includes detectors, alarms, sprinkler systems, hydrants, and emergency lighting—all of which play a crucial role during an emergency. EBC Group coordinates the inspection, testing, and servicing of these systems, ensuring they meet all required Australian Standards.

In addition to managing scheduled servicing, we assist schools in maintaining detailed records that demonstrate compliance and performance. This includes system plans, test reports, and inspection logs—critical information when preparing for audits or dealing with insurers.
