GMB backs LFB school sprinkler campaign

GMB are supporting the LFB campaign to ensure all schools are fitted with sprinklers by urging GMB members to contact their local members of parliament and tell them they want action on sprinklers.

GMB regional officer Mick Lancaster said, "Unfortunately, like most Health and Safety concerns raised in the UK, action isn’t taken until a disaster happens. When people have been seriously injured or lost their lives! 

"Taking a proactive approach and ensuring all schools are fitted with sprinklers will not only protect the children and those who work in schools many of which are GMB members. Sprinklers also save the Department of Education money dealing with the aftermath of school fires and disruption to children’s education."
