<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Just placing a fire extinguisher at your workplace will not ensure the safety of all workers in the event of a fire. Fire safety goes far beyond having fire extinguishers on site. The company should possess a well-planned evacuation plan so that workers know how to react in the event of a fire.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">The sooner we begin coaching our children about <a href="http://www.veteranfiresafety.co.uk/training/fire-safety-training" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">fire safety and prevention</span></a> the better. If they are educated in fire safety they've got a higher chance of survival in an emergency scenario. Keeping students safe when they're at school or college is an important task.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Each school must take the time to develop a radical plan for fire safety and train both school/college students and the body of workers on what to do during a fire incident.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Though the number of school fires has decreased over recent years there still remains a risk of school fires happening. There are many causes including arson, electrical faults and accidents.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Taking measures to reduce the likely outbreak of a fire is very important. Below are a few steps that can be taken by the schools and colleges to safeguard the students and staff and properties from an unexpected fire incident</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<b><div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>School exterior preparation</b></div>
</b><ul style="text-align: left;">
<li style="text-align: justify;">Make the school premises a non-smoking zone. Improperly discarded cigarette can cause fire</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Trees and shrubs are trimmed to keep areas around the building unobstructed</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Make sure you keep an exterior lighting with timers, motion- or daylight-detection sensors</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Try to prevent unauthorised entry into the buildings because it may increase the opportunity for an offender to start a fire</li>
</ul>
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Keep safety equipment ready and working</b></div>
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><ul style="text-align: left;">
<li style="text-align: justify;">Fire safety devices have a significant impact in reducing the loss of life and property during a fire incident</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Fire sprinkler systems act quickly in reducing heat, flames and smoke produced in a fire</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">All schools should have their fire safety equipment maintained annually</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Regular checks are mandatory as in some schools fire safety equipment is moved or misused</li>

Experts from fire safety advises people to learn how to use an extinguisher before an emergency occurs. Place the extinguishers where you can see and reach them easily, near to the room’s exit. In this way, you are able to fight the fire with your back to the door and make an easy escape if a blaze gets out of control.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A short way to remember how to use an extinguisher is by using the acronym – “PASS”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
P - Pull the Extinguisher’s Safety Pin”. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A – Aim the chemical at source of the flames, rather than at flames themselves, by standing at-least 6 feet away from fire </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
S – Squeeze the trigger and hold it, keeping the extinguisher upright</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
S – Sweep the source of the flames until the fire extinguisher runs dry</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you have used fire extinguishers, even if it is not completely empty, you must replace it or refill it straight away Also replace or replenish any extinguisher, whose pressure gauge has slipped out of the green zone and into the red over time. Keep this in mind extinguishers with plastic valves cannot be refilled and you must discard after use. But metal valves can easily be refilled and will last you for a long time.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Health and safety checks are vitally important to protect people and keep them safe in the workplace and in the home. In shared buildings, office blocks and flats there is a need for regular fire safety checks as well as checks for asbestos. Sometimes the question arises as to who is responsible and who pays for the undertaking of these vital safety checks.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b>Fire safety assessment</b></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Regulatory Reform Order 2005 requires <a href="http://www.veteranfiresafety.co.uk/services/fire-risk-assessment" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">fire risk safety assessments</span></a> to be carried out in flats, or a premise that contains common parts of two or more houses. The duty is on the responsible person who is managing the common parts. It includes freeholders, resident management companies, right to manage companies and others. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The main purpose of an assessment is to protect people in the event of a fire, improve the existing fire safety measures and determine if, additional measures are required. The assessment is limited to common parts, and it does not extend to leaseholder’s own premises.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0dy2jSJwaMHv2kjbUgN1bzcYuaxTc39cp_nQwprFMsQzm3uEad3AqznjysTg9cA_8GRjTllIgnLfUhgKs2E5P4GVMPy3pESZaK2TwaQVeygfEhkkLEYM47LPvspcBClm0-BKzgjDxuME/s1600/fire-risk-assessment-and-asbestos-survey.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="fire risk assessment and asbestos survey" border="0" height="223" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0dy2jSJwaMHv2kjbUgN1bzcYuaxTc39cp_nQwprFMsQzm3uEad3AqznjysTg9cA_8GRjTllIgnLfUhgKs2E5P4GVMPy3pESZaK2TwaQVeygfEhkkLEYM47LPvspcBClm0-BKzgjDxuME/s400/fire-risk-assessment-and-asbestos-survey.jpg" title="Fire risk assessment and asbestos survey" width="400" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="font-size: 12.8px; text-align: center;">Fire risk assessment and asbestos survey</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The legislation states, these assessments must be reviewed periodically by the responsible person and kept up to update. The frequency of risk assessment may depend upon the building concerned. For example, a small house with a small communal hallway may not need to have an assessment as frequently as large flats. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Fire safety orders can be expensive and often costs involved in compliance such as the inspection cost itself, fire extinguishers, replacement of communal doors, etc. can be passed on to leaseholders by the freeholder or the responsible person depending on the terms of the lease. Modern leases include an obligation of freeholders to comply with statutory requirements with a right to recover the cost of this from leaseholders.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Asbestos checking</b> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There is a legal duty on the person responsible for managing the maintenance and repair of common areas in buildings and flats to manage asbestos. The major requirement is in the Asbestos control regulations 2012 and applies to common areas such as the staircase, foyers, corridors, lifts, etc.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="font-size: 12.8px; text-align: center;">Asbestos checking and removal</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The duty of a person is to ascertain whether the premises have asbestos, where it is and what condition it is in, to assess the risk and prepare a plan to manage the risk and act on it. According to the HSE website buildings prior to 2000 may have asbestos, as it was extensively used as a building material between the year 1950's and 1980's.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Recovery of the cost of the survey and essential work resulting from this is based on similar principles as set out above for fire safety. The lease may allow for a recovery charge or the freeholder to bring the cost within the sweeping up clause.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Conclusion</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is beneficial to leaseholders have a check while flats are on sale, the purchase solicitors may ask for confirmation that a risk assessment was carried out for fire safety and asbestos as a matter of course and ask for evidence. It may cause an issue with a sale if this is not available.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">This course is designed to give in-depth training to the relevant employees. The training usually covers the designated fire marshal role and gives the opportunity to learn about the different types of fire extinguisher provided how to use them correctly when needed. This training helps you to prepare for any emergency occurring on the premises. We offer individual training for circumstances for disabled staff or young or elder people or in a specific environment such as a construction site.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Fire wardens, deputies and safety representatives or any person holding the responsibilities of a fire warden should attend this course. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<b><div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>How many fire wardens for your organisation?</b></div>
</b><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It depends mainly on the size of the premises, the number of staff and so on. Looking at the above duties one person will be enough, to deal with a small office space. However, in a multi room, or multi floored building with more staff it is clearly too big a responsibility for one person. We can advise you more accurately on how many staff need training per the size and layout of the premises. If a trained person is on leave or sick, training of a deputy warden would always make sense.</div>
