Brian Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 As I'm sure you all know the 'rules' on fire safety change this October to a more 'risk assessment' based approach. The HSE have just published the appropriate guides which you can buy from HSE books for £12 a copy or download for free from the HSE website.

char-p Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 It has to be said that it is rather worrying that the guidance notes for outdoor events are still not available at this late point. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew C Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Just had an inspection, based on the new framework. Really nothing to be scared of if you have at least looked at Brian's linked doc, and done some RAs based on it. Very happy fireman; wants to reduce the venue to a 15 year inspection cycle. May well try to dissuade him from that particular view as manglement could change a lot in that time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcT Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 I have just taken on partial responsibility for a small 85 seat studio venue owned by an amateur society. With the deadline looming I want to make sure our efforts at the fire safety RA are up to muster. Would anyone who has been through this process for a similar size venue be prepared to share their RA document with me? Thanks & Kind Regards,Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Basson Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Based on tonight's experience I have to supplement my fire precautions with a sign: "Please do not use the microwave oven to dry socks." The smoke might be gone by midnight but the stench will be with us for months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayselway Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 I had a similar one last week - sign should read: "Security personnel not to dry jumper on electric fire". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wako_jacko Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 and; 'do not leave toast unattended in the toaster' it has a habit of catching on fire leading to a potentially dangerous fire - the smoke detector on the ceiling had started melting!
