REMOVING PUBLIC BUILDING HEATING RISKS
Phil Marris, Managing Director at Jaga Heating Products UK, discusses why Low Surface Temperature (LST) radiators are the best choice for heating public buildings.
Public sector buildings are subject to continuous public footfall, so organisations must carry out particularly stringent risk assessments. One of the most overlooked considerations is how safe the building’s heating systems are, given their almost constant exposure to public occupants.
By taking extra care in the key features of the radiators they choose, a building’s owner or operator can demonstrate that they have

performed thorough due diligence – ensuring that the risks to staff and to the general public have been minimised. And, there’s no need to compromise on performance, looks and energy efficiency. In addition to safety assurances, the best safe heating solutions can exceed the desired levels of heating performance and efficiency, and even prove complementary to the interior design.
When protecting the safety and welfare of the occupants and
protecting the organisation itself from potential liability claims, a radiator is never ‘just a radiator’. That is why low surface temperature (LST) solutions should be considered as the ideal choice.
