Abstract
Starting from an analysis of the fire safety concept, this paper describes the scope, philosophy, methods and results of a radical fire safety research done by the Belgian School Building Fund in the larger framework of an overall school building research to meet the new requirements resulting from important educational evolutions. While covering three main groups of items : fire preventive, fire res trictive and fire protective measures, it stresses the need - to take the human behaviour as a starting-point, to pre-calculate the evacuation times from the design stage onwards, to care for handicapped pupils in regular schools, of particular safety concern in special schools and homes for disabled children, to take safety arrangements for impaired visitors to the school as a communi ty centre during offhours. The paper points to some near future developments in school life risks and responding measures.
