I think this is the first situation over here where, since the introduction of the Order in 2010 a non workplace, i.e. with a person who to any extent..., has had very serious fire damage.

It would be very interesting to find out who carried out the FRA, what their background was, what their experience was, what training they have undertaken,........ the list is endless.
I have just come across a second FRA carried out using a "licensed" tick sheet which could have the potential to be suitable and sufficient but was probably something done on site and "thank you very much Sir, that'll be £100 please".
From my reading of it, it amounts to complete waffle and bovine excrement. The client did not know what it all meant.
Yes the Assessor was able to note that their were no luminous discharge tubes to worry about but missed a fekin great spray booth in the middle of the factory floor.
How are ex fire officers able to promote themselves as fire safety experts when they have no FS experience? By taking a 2.5 day FRA course, of course. Some day someone will be in the witness box to better explain this and the sooner the better.
I have been asked to do a proper one.

The day can't come too soon, I am sick of this box ticking culture but it won't change.
This country employs a system whereby the experts and puppet masters are all keeping their well paid roles merely by ensuring their boxes are ticked on their computers thereby ensuring responsibility passes from them and back to someone else and their KPI's are within target.
And then it's home time.
