Building Bulletin 80, Science Accommodation in Secondary schools
Only a small part of this publication relates to our products but it is relevant when you consider the benefits of teacher control of the individual services.
Also in terms of a risk assessment controlling the gas, water and electric from behind the teacher’s desk by means of a key controlled panel could be useful.
Services on page 49:
“All services should have a master control panel, which should be located near the main teaching position. This allows the teacher to control access to services as required and also to shut off any or all in the event of an accident.”
Please see IGEM publication, UP11, Edition 3 – Gas installations for educational establishments section for additional information and guidance on gas proving and interlock system for the safe use of gas within practical teaching spaces.
A Medem SEC-L which features combined gas pressure proving and gas detection would help meet these design requirements and allow for automatic resetting of the gas supply following a power cut and fire alarm reset.
If you require any additional information on our systems to help meet these design standards or wish to discuss the standards further please don’t hesitate to contact us.
