Sorry, but I go with Kevin. Get rid of your cleaning company and get another one. It is not your fault if the company employs those people purely for you - it may be wise to make sure your next cleaning contract states that the workers are not soley employed on your job. Personally, to say this is TUPE is madness and even if it's true - it needs to be tested. Common sense will prevail - Hopefully !!!!!!

er... volunteer means unpaid !
How much money was wasted on yet another stupid idea that employers are expected to swallow. Six months to work outt hat young people (or any people) don't do volunteer work because........they don't get paid for it. Shock horror gasp.
It is so strange that everything wrong with the world is the fault of us nasty employers.

Thanks Alan - at last a word of sense.
Regarding the home, I have to admit that we do have both a bucket of water and a fire blanket as well as an extinguisher - but that is a choice I am happy to make as my family are far more important to me than a bit of stock. I do draw the line at being told what to do. My "risk assessment" at home is very different.

Just a small point that I would appreciate comments on. We have three small shops, have done the fire risk assessments as required and I can see no real need for any extinguishers. The shops are all under 500 sq ft each.
I have had any number of so called "experts" telling me what I "should" do and what is a "recommendation", but no-one will tell me what I HAVE to do. One even wanted me to pay him £900 and then berated me for not having "a fire warning system in place like the law says" (My comment that shouting out the word FIRE was a warning system really wound him up)
We have no naked flames, all electrics are tested, no smoking etc, etc etc.. I know an extinguisher would be nice, but where does it say I must have one.
