Posted By John_72 Just an enquiry. Now that the new regs. have been inforce for nearly a month, i was wondering has anyone here been inspected by their local fire authority? and if so how did it go? what did they look for specifically? where they pruely there to enforce or did they offer advice etc? Thank for any responses.

Posted By Tomek Sladden Hi John, as a fire service employee I can advise you that your authority will be looking at ensuring that there are no serious breeches of fire safety referring to the new Order. However, as the Regs are still very young the authority will be looking to give you valuable and specific/technical advice on all aspects of fire safety that he/she feels you may need to ensure that you comply with the new order. Don't forget that we are there to help you not to cause you problems and that this would be an ideal opportunity to gain some valuable guidnnce on all aspects of the RRFSO and your workplace fire safety standards. If the authority deems that in his/her opinion that you have a serious breech of yor duty and that an imminent danger is present then they still have the power to issue prohibition notices. I hope that this relaxes you a bit. Don't worry if you are concerned enough to enquire on the forum about this issue then I am sure that you standards are acceptable. If you need to contact me for a more in depth discussion please feel free to contact me via my email. Good luck let me know. Tom.
