Hi all Been a while :wave: Interesting topic as this is a massive issue we face currently with residential developments. We await final BS documents like BS9991 and evacuation lift BS EN to be published, however we have the London Plan which say one thing and Approved Document B Volume 1 say someth...

What a tragic accident and one that is perhaps foreseeable but would it be captured in every instance? I doubt it I cannot agree with you re seatbelts. I was an operational firefighter for almost 30 years and attended countless RTCs in that time. You are right in that there were many instances where...

Brilliant news MrsP!

Well done for your determination as many would have given up at the first hurdle. The fire service are happy and you have 'enjoyed'(?) a valuable learning experience.

Congratulations on your success

Bon voyage Will

I guess it is fair to say that diesel generator fires are pretty rare. There must be hundreds of thousands running at any time around the world at any time. But they do happen. Ship engine fires may be used as an example. However, it is the common cause failures you need to focus on if loss of serv...

OK, not a H&S issue, but not a million miles away - I wonder if anyone has experience of convincing a belligerent client that their plan of ensuring business residence contains a huge vulnerability The client is building a large data centre. Its is absolutely vital to their business. Naturally a...

Morning all I am enjoying my week off by meeting with care home managers today to 'discuss' ways they can improve the care they are giving to an elderly relative. As they are charging £8,000 a month, I reckon we have the right to demand certain standards are maintained . [smilie=dweeba20.gif] Lookin...
