On a number of occaisions staff pushing prams or bringing in their young children have used facilties provided in my 9 storey office block. I have repeatedly stated that this is not acceptable as with no warning or risk assessment or even signing in they freely walk about or are pushed about.
The ages of the children are such that they are not aware of the surroundings and even when they are with parents are not always properly supervised.
Right or wrong.(keep them out minimise the risk)

if the reason for changing contractors was the cleaners themselves how do you stand with Tupe then. You know they are bad so why would you want to keep them.

Having served notice to the current cleaning company due to their staff being consistently below the required standard and not wanting to keep them, to be a burden on the next company how do I stand in relation to any transfer under Tupe.

I have recently read an article in the Facilities Management publication regarding the security breach at the house of commons. The aritcle written by Peter Power who suggested that security should be a board level strategic issue rather than a "quasi-janitorial funcion overseen by a facilities manager". My feelings are that as a facilities manager the way I deal with security is fine and had I been overseeing the commons security the incident would not have occurred. It would seem to imply that maybe facilities managers do not have the expertise needed to carryout a security function for their employers and should seek advise from experts only. In my opinion there has always been to much advise at a lot of expense and not enough practical application.

Has or is anyone able to let me see a finished article so I can see if the way I do an audit is of an equal standard.Bearing in mind that it is a means of helping the disabled you would have thought much would have been available without attached costs.

Has anyone got a sample copy of a completed access audit that they would'nt mind sharing, for an office complex.
Having completed one of my own i am wondering how it will stand up to scrutiny.
