There is no need for the nursing station to be removed- that is frankly ridiculous and smacks of a fire service officer who knows nothing about the NHS. As long as the portable electrical equipment has been tested and maintained at the nursing station is in date there are no reasons why the station ...

This may be a little sycophantic but following the locked topic ( Admin. unlocked to add this response ) regarding changing the use of fire doors, in a previous role Messy was hired by the organisation(NHS Trust) for which I then worked to provide training, as he was, and is, the best we could find....

Hi one other thing going forward, new legislation also includes the requirement for fire risk assessors to list their qualifications within the fire risk assessment - section 156 of the Building Safety Act 2022 which came into force on 1st October 2023. So any assessment is required to include this ...

Messy Are the insurers fully up to speed with this, and for that matter are the local pugh pugh barney mcgrew aware? It sounds like they would not have the resources to extinguish the worst case scenario fire without help from perhaps other FRS bods resulting in interest from their investigators, po...

Blimey good for you Messy - I hope - I always back someone who stands up and does what is right, rather than those who threaten resignation then backtrack. If this was the 1970's this would be seen as revolutionary and you would have been in a bit of a pickle, but these days even your (ex) employer ...

Keep fighting the good fight but you may consider doing it...

Interesting weekend and due to Covid my wife and daughter weren't allowed to visit. I would recommend the pca- patient controlled analgesia- machin...

But don't you find it is the same when the HSE give out press releases? You get the offence, the name of the guilty party, the fine/jail term and then a smug HSE inspector saying that this could have been avoided. It's like the end of He-Man. I reckon that all enforcing agencies give out similar typ...

Hi Messy this might not be particularly helpful, but if your conscience allows, simply 'prioritise' as you have been advised. If. without your colleague, you simply cannot do the whole of the job without working 25-30 hours a week on top of what you are already doing, then don't. 'Prioritise' the hi...
