Re: Cameron House Hotel Fire. Porter Gets Light Touch From Court

FRA 'tools'
Hi all, we are looking at moving away from paper (handwritten) fire risk assessments and start using a tablet/laptop based app/software.
Can anyone recommend anything that's worth having a look at. We currently use the PAS79 format.
Thanks

Construction restart in Scotland, help please
Are there any construction gurus here (Scotland)? This whole phased approach is confusing me. They're saying we are now in phase 1 - COVID-19 Pre-start Site prep. Our clients have all this in place. Next is phase 2 -‘Soft start’ to site works (only where physical distancing can be maintained). BUT, ...

Industry specific UK government guidance. https://www.gov.uk/guidance/working-safely-during-coronavirus-covid-1...
