Fire drills are simple right? (we can all agree it's not difficult to walk out of a building) but despite this, there are actually quite a few aspects that must be thought about carefully. What if a particular exit is blocked?  What if a staircase or corridor is filled with smoke?  How would adults help children or anyone with a disability (if there are any) and other adults evacuate in that instance? The problem with many fire drills carried out  is the regularity and familiarity of the event - using the same routes and the same procedures over and over again.  Many people focus on simply how fast they can get everyone to evacuate - and whilst this is an excellent goal to…

Types of Fire Risk Assessment The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to carry out 'suitable and sufficient' assessment of the risk from fire. Determining what must be assessed to meet that requirement depends on the risks in each building. In some cases, an assessment of the common parts is sufficient, in others a destructive assessment of common parts and flats is necessary. Our technical experts will be happy to work with you to establish what's the right fit for your portfolio. Crimson Fire Risk Services Ltd will always work to your specification or scope of works, but if you have no existing specification, we can offer the following types of assessment in residential property.

With the Heimlich manoeuvre (abdominal thrusts) being a vital lifesaving technique that is taught on most first aid courses, you would probably think that it had been around for centuries. However, did you know that research into this manoeuvre only started in the early 1970s? With us sadly losing the inventor of this lifesaving technique, Dr. Heimlich, last December, we thought you might like to know a bit more about the fascinating story behind the development of the Heimlich manoeuvre and how this technique has helped save countless lives. In June 1972, Dr. Henry Heimlich was reading the New York Times Magazine when he stumbled across an article stating that choking caused nearly 4,000 deaths in the US each…

Forensic scientists and fire investigators have warned that smoke alarms may not wake children. Research by Dundee University and Derbyshire Fire and Rescue found that of 34 children tested, 27 repeatedly slept through smoke detector alarms. They have developed an alarm with a lower pitch and a woman's voice, which issues a warning: "Wake up, the house is on fire." They now want 500 families to test the new alarm. Prof Niamh Nic Daeid, a forensic scientist at Dundee, said: "Boys are especially hard to wake, and we think they will respond to a human voice." Standard smoke alarms have a frequency of around 3,000Hz, but the prototype has a lower pitch of 520Hz, to which young children are more likely to respond. In…

Alterations notice You could get an alterations notice if your premises have high safety risks or will have high safety risks if the use of the premises changes. Enforcement notice You could get an enforcement notice if the fire and rescue authority finds…

The British Automatic Fire Sprinkler Association has called for better fire suppression systems in student accommodation after a major fire ripped through a block of student flats in Bristol. The fire, which broke out earlier this week, is believed to have started in a kitchen but swiftly spread destroying the roof and two floors of the building.

The BAFSA spokes person said that a properly installed and maintained sprinkler system would have suppressed the fire and limited the damage.

Portable appliance testing (PAT) is the term to describe the examination of electrical appliances and equipment to ensure they are safe to use. There are many myths around PAT testing and its frequency, here are answers to five common queries. 1: Portable Electrical Devices must be tested every year, is this correct? The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 require that any electrical equipment that has the potential to cause injury is maintained in a safe condition. However, the Regulations do not specify what needs to be done, by whom or how frequently (i.e. inspection or testing of electrical appliances isn't a legal requirement, nor do they make it a legal requirement to undertake this annually). 2: How frequently do Electrical Appliances need to…

For businesses, this is a course of particular importance because of the legal responsibilities placed on employers under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 which came into effect in 2006. Fire extinguishers are placed strategically throughout your workplace, but that is not enough to ensure the safety of all workers in the event of a fire? Fire safety goes far beyond having fire extinguishers. Worksites should have a complete plan in place so that workers know how to react in the event of a fire. Fire safety training provides employees with the knowledge they need to prevent a fire from occurring as well as how to react to a fire. Fire safety training can mean the…
