Is it widely known that LFB have set themselves up as independent fire consultants?

It is now

I hope that their PI insurance is in order. Mind you, I would not like to be the insurer. Storm damage is risky enough.

What are the views regarding a Fire Brigade setting themselves up this way?

Guest · « **Reply #4 on:** March 29, 2004, 12:38:22 PM »

Are you sure? They have a statutory duty to provide free fire safety advice, so it'll be remarkable if they manage to convince people to pay for it!

1 1 (f) does not say WHEN the avice has to be given!

Most definately they have set themselves up as consultants!

Is it not just a play on words. Advisor/Consultant and whose to say they might not be calling themselves consulatnts and foregoing the charge for any services. Further investigation required methinks.

Can we see some evidence? Is there anything on the web?

If you are thinking of applying for a job with them wee b forget it. You dont even like chewing gum.

I dont think its a secret. Speak to their engineering department, they will tell you they set it up about a year ago.
They provide imdependent? advice regarding what complies with requirements of the Building Act - in their humble opinion of course. :shock:

You sure you are not talking about LAPS schemes.

Guest · « **Reply #12 on:** March 31, 2004, 10:11:42 PM »

No Colin,
I know what a LAPS scheme is, deal with them regularly.
This is where LFB, at least their Fire Engineering section, offers third party advice/guidance on fire safety matters on a contractual basis.
Just wondering if others had heard of such an arrangement.
Presumably they wouldnt be able to offer independent advice on any work in their own area?

Guest · « **Reply #13 on:** April 02, 2004, 02:23:42 PM »

They charge, they advise and 3rdp chack, do what they will.. And isn't it the LEFPA now?

Guest · « **Reply #14 on:** April 02, 2004, 09:38:30 PM »

Aren't they 'third party CHECKS' ?, and its LFEPA.
