Title: Prosecutions
Post by: messy on May 25, 2005, 09:41:17 PM

I am aware that the HSE have a website listing prosecutions (circumstances and amounts)

Does anyone know whether there is a similar list of successful prosecutions ( FPA &/or FPWPR)by the UK fire service accessible on line?

Until the government - or the Information Commissioner sort out the dilemma between the Freedom of Information Act - (which says this information should be made avaialble) and the FPA, OSRA and the Factories Act which says that if you do may be committing an offence (disclosure of information) - it ain't going to happen!

It would not be a very big site. More like a Portakabin than a site.

Colin: How about if it included a list of crap enforcement notices issued by LA Brigades.

That should use a bit more web space!!

Messy, You mis judge brigades. Many have issued few if any enforcement notices. Perhaps they manage by asking nicely. Its the new way you know. Other manage to issue enforcement notices that are actually worth the paper they are printed on. Thats called training, you know. Now, I am aware that these are foreign words in a certain large met brigade, but they do exist within the English dictionary, and a field trip to many modern thinking and forward looking brigades would reveal to some of your colleagues that competent, fair and transparent enforcement is alive and well and living in many a shire brigade.
