Assuming that DD9999 will be introduced, has the FRA approach to fire safety suddenly grown horns and teeth and turning into a monster. What was initially a common sense approach by employers to fire assessment in the workplace, which was portrayed as something that they could quite comfortably carry out, has turned into something that more and more employers will be less capable, never mind competant, of doing. Can you imagine handing DD9999 to an average employer and telling him that this is the standard of FRA expected.
This is red tape gone mad which was not the intention, according to its architects.
Good for Fire Risk Assessors. Pretty horrific for someone trying to run a business. Can certainly see most private sector employers willing to take a chance and not doing one unless they are required to for registration or licensing purposes.
