Notre Dame
Planning is one of the keys to good fire safety as was demonstrated by the events in Paris a month ago with the fire that broke out at Notre Dame Cathedral. I visited last week and saw it first hand.
On the surface, the incident appears to be a disaster with hundreds of millions of pounds worth of damage but without the risk assessments and pre-planned salvage exercises and drills, it could have been far worse.
Your business provides an income and livelihood for yourself, your family and maybe a number of employees so reviewing your policies and procedures on a regular basis is not only a legal requirement it’s to protect the important things.
Fire Risk Assessment for Sheltered Housing Project
We carried out an interesting Fire risk assessment a few weeks ago for the manager of a sheltered housing project. They had been served with an action plan notice by South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue.
The residents live independently in their own flat within the house, they have the facility to do some light cooking but are provided with all their meals in the communal dining room.
Referencing the specialist housing guide we provided a person-centered fire risk assessment which addressed the issues raised by the fire authority and helped the responsible person clearly identify how to stay compliant in the future.
As always stay safe and have a good bank holiday weekend.
