Your Complete Toolkit

Commissioned by Bournemouth Borough Council and now available for sale:       2006 saw the introduction of the most radical change to fire safety legislation in decades.

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which came into effect in 2006, owners and managers of any places where people meet and gather cannot continue to deal with the issue of fire safety in the way they have in the past. They can no longer simply rely on the Fire Service to inspect their premises and advise them of deficiences: instead they will have to carry out a written ‘fire risk assessment’ to make sure they have identified all the fire hazards in their premises and taken steps to protect the building and the people - not only staff, but also customers, visitors and anyone else involved. They will also have to train their staff in what to do – and what not to do – and make sure they have kept full records of everything they’ve done, so that when the Fire & Rescue Service come to audit, they will be able to show that they have properly protected everyone from the risk of fire.

Owners and managers often cannot afford to allow staff to take the time out to be trained in fire safety in the traditional way. The alternative – to buy in expert advice from consultants – is not only prohibitively expensive, given the limited budgets available to some owners and managers, but also appears inappropriate: it cannot have been the intention of the legislators that organisations should be forced to employ consultants to ensure their compliance with the law, and indeed Article 18(8) states:

‘Where there is a competent person in the Responsible Person’s employment, that person must be appointed [to carry out fire safety duties] … in preference to a competent person not in his employment.’

This comprehensive fire safety training and risk assessment package, gives you the solution. The package comprises two discs:

• an interactive CD-ROM, containing authoritative guidance and staff training on the law and good practice via PowerPoint slide shows and a variety of documents including a pre-assessment checklist, a fire risk assessment form and fire safety logbook. There are weblinks to internet sites, such as the Fire and Rescue Service, Communities and Local Government and the Disability Rights Commission, for up todate information and guidance,
• a DVD which contains a though provoking film giving important information explaining the impact that the law has on owners and managers of places of assembly and how it can be complied with.

Owners and managers will be able to find all the information they need on the CD-ROM to make their premises safe and to provide all their staff training needs.

Format: two-disc set: CDROM and DVD
