Is this your fire door? This poorly fitted door is a serious risk, allowing fire to pass through this weak point and putting lives at risk in case of a fire emergency. Fire doors are the frontline defence against fire, smoke, and toxic fumes. Regular fire door inspections are not just recommended; they're a legal requirement. The Regulatory Fire Reform applies to all non-domestic buildings – does your premises fall under this category? Take action today to safeguard your space.

There's absolutely no good reason for public housing to be unsafe (though there are plenty of very flimsy explanations (excuses) why it often is). Legislating safety is an important first step, after which subsequent steps must be taken to ensure it's sustainable in a practical sense. Support for enforcement, tenant education, penalties, and incentives are among the many considerations in making sure the whole system works to protect occupants of public housing over the long term. #publichousing #safety #firesprinklers

In a sobering event in Queens, a severe fire triggered by a contractor's unauthorized torch use has cast a spotlight on the imperative of adhering to construction fire safety protocols. This tragic incident, which displaced over 400 residents during the holiday season, is a powerful testament to the dangers of disregarding safety standards in construction settings. The fire was traced back to a contractor improperly using a torch to remove paint from a door frame in an apartment building. This reckless action led to multiple violations and, more importantly, a large-scale disaster affecting hundreds. It illustrates the potential consequences when hot work is conducted without proper precautions and oversight. The necessity for rigorous construction fire safety protocols cannot be overstated. It's essential for those in the construction industry to strictly follow guidelines, perform thorough risk evaluations, and cultivate an environment where safety is paramount. This includes obtaining necessary permits, ensuring fire extinguishers are readily available, and training workers on emergency procedures. #ConstructionFireSafety #FirePrevention #SafetyFirst #RiskManagement #FireSafety #ConstructionSafety #CommunityRiskReduction #FirePrevention https://lnkd.in/g5U5uN2S
