Fire Service College breached fire regulations

The fire itself was an embarrassment to the Fire Service, but this admission just rubs salt into the wounds!!
The whole incident highlights the need to conduct a thorough fire risk assessment in all properties. The question that this poses, is, Would a fire risk assessment have prevented this fire from even starting? Of course we will never know the answer, but a thorough fire risk assessment should highlight potential hazards. Assuming that any action plans that are generated are implemented, then this can only assist in preventing such an incident happening to your organisation.

Hello,

in the interests of clarity, the whole of The Fire Precautions (Workplace) Regulations 1997 (amended 1999) as mentioned in this article above were revoked upon the coming into force of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005
