Agreed Kurnal but you know what happens once you've submitted your well intentioned report, you stick to the Standards and it is too costly for the client.
Due the now more and more common practice of companies bringing in "Facilities Management" firms to run their maintenance schedules for a limited budget (i.e. cheapest tender price) and a short term contract, a new circle of poor practice is becoming more aparant.
They have their own contacts for various disciplines and bring in their own fire servicing company. Usually a cheap and chearful wipe and sign service, so any previous good practice and expertise once enjoyed by the client is thrown out of the window, leaving the client distrustful of the fire protection industry as a whole.
Then following the contract completion another cheaper tender is made by a rival Facilities company and an even worse quality of servicing begins the rounds, ultimately leaving the client with cheap quality products and servicing.
We all have had experience of walking into a new build and being appalled by the quality and standards of protection hanging on the walls - I walked into a soon to be opened hotel today which is part of a National chain and could'nt believe what was sat there, but thats budgets for you.
