Would you accept this risk? Hiërarchy of controls is key! Don't enter or climb the building/roof when it is only about property. Less heroic, more stopping and thinking. Start by thinking wich tactic you want to use. Flames or pressing smoke? Start with offensive attack from outside until it is save to enter. https://lnkd.in/ej_gdm9U

Dynamic risk assessment

Spiders often seek refuge under houses or buildings where they patiently await prey. As summer approaches and with the warm days we are experiencing, now is the best time to have your home or business premises to protect you from spiders. #spiders #spidercontrol #spiderelimination #pestcontrol #pestcontrolnearme #pestcontrolsydney #masterspestcontrolsydney

Seven years ago today 72 people lost their lives at Grenfell Tower. The Grenfell fire was the catalyst that started the conversation about things needing to change in the construction industry. We in our industry must get better, we must strive for positive change and improvement across the board. We must strive for an industry based on values, integrity and competence, rather than misplaced confidence, poor qualifications and low price. We must strive for more effective and impactful regulation. We must be honest about our past mistakes and failures, and strive for an industry that ensures that we learn from that past. We’ve all got to do our bit to reset our industry, and drive forward the systemic change, that needs to happen, in a meaningful way. Change that needs to make a positive difference. There is a job of work that needs to be done focussed on outcomes that need to happen. Thoughts today are not just with the victims’ families, but the survivors and emergency services; firefighters and paramedics who responded that night. #healthandsafety #fire #firesafety #tetra #firefighting #firefighters #remember #remembering #rememberingthem #emergencyservices #Grenfell

🚨 Every second counts! Make sure emergency responders can clearly see your house numbers from the roadway with these quick tips. ✅ The numbers on your house must be numerals, not script. ✅ You must be able to see the numbers clearly from the roadway, so make sure they aren't blocked by any shrubs or trees. ✅ The numbers should be at least 3 inches tall or larger. ✅ The numbers must contrast with the house—think blue house, white numbers. ✅ If your mailbox is double sided, the numbers should be on both sides. ✅ If your driveway is over 100 feet— your house numbers must be at the roadway on a post, tree, fence or otherwise visible. #911dispatcher | #dispatcher | #firstresponders | #lawenforcement | #ems | #firefighter | #emergency | #911Education |#911EducationMonth
