Re: Fire Wardens - How many should be appointed?

Witsd/Messy,

Thanks for this, I understand now why there is no definitive structure to follow. Guess that airing on the cautious side and having more than you need looks like the better way to go!

I really appreciate your help

Re: Allergens

Hello, Here are my thoughts on this: If the food items are given out in their original packaging then you are ok regarding the 'may contain allergens warning' as all the allergen info should be on the wrapper.

Re: Help - Dance School

Please do not hold back, would rather read and think that's covered than not read and wish someone had written it. The 'customers' are not really left to their own devices, they may have to wait outside the dance rooms until a class starts and regarding the children they are mainly either with paren...

Re: Site inspection during interview

Hello Cad,

In my experience if you see anything positive, comment on it. Whether it is good housekeeping, correct lifting technique and so on. I would be really interested to hear how things have gone.

Good luck!

Re: Blue Plasters

Hi,

The blue plasters contain a small metal strip in them to ensure they are picked up via metal detector. The colour (as said before) is a visual thing.

Thanks
