Status of PAS 79 2
If you conduct fire risk assessments the FIA’s own Technical Bulletin provides an explanation as to why BSI have permanently withdrawn PAS79-2 the guidance document on conducting residential fire risk assessments.
This leaves a big question as to where future guidance will come from.
If you are an IFSM member you will already be aware that they have taken the initiative of writing to the CEO of BSI objecting to their move and to date they have not received any definitive reply other than they are reviewing it! Credit goes to both the IFSM and FIA in the efforts that they have made and are continuing to take in this matter.
Kind regards,
Alan Palmer (UK-FA Secretary)
An Evaluation of the Role of Fire Extinguishers
This independent report titled “An Evaluation of the Role of Fire Extinguishers” by David Wales gives an interesting insight into how portable fire extinguishers have for so long been underestimated in fire protection for residential properties. The UK Fire Association is proud to stand alongside IFEDA in supporting David Wales conclusions to encourage wider recognition and early adoption of the reports many findings. This will require reverse thinking for many involved in residential fire protection who appear to have had their views for fighting small fires in the home based more upon assumptions than facts.
This is a must read if you conduct fire risk assessments in residential properties or supply/maintain portable fire extinguishers https://www.yumpu.com/en/document/read/65405266/an-evaluation-of-the-role-of-fire-extinguishers
