Fire, safety and security at the top of the FM agenda at Total Workplace Management 2011
End users directly accountable for fire, safety and security in their premises and places of work, such as facilities managers, estates managers and building control officers, amongst others, have a responsibility to ensure that comprehensive legislation is adhered to and an effective strategy and risk management plan is in place. As compliance and regulations evolve across the board, it is imperative that the underlying principles and requirements of said guidance is implemented and ultimately fulfilled.
In response to the ever expanding role of the FM, Total Workplace Management, the FM and Estates event, has established a new Fire, Safety and Security Seminar Theatre presenting the latest in fire, safety and security education. Adding to this, a dedicated Fire, Safety and Security Zone will highlight exhibitors offering products and services across this remit. With presentations from Barbour, a leading supplier of specialist information services to health, safety and environment professionals, the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) and the Health and Safety Sign Association, issues such as: How effective health and safety management can keep you out of court; extending the value of your security measures - how security systems can prove their worth beyond their security functions, and the implications of safety standard BS 1S0 7010 will be discussed. Additionally, the Fire Industry Association (FIA) panel made up from a range of industry experts including the London Fire Brigade and
info4fire.com, will discuss the Fire Safety Order – Building on Five Years of Experience, where next?
