FIRE SUPPRESSION
Required by the Environment Agency to produce a Fire Prevention Plan?
FIRE Prevention Plan specialists AC Environmental have over 15 years of project management experience in the waste management, energy and environmental industries.
The Stoke-on-Trent company have noticed within the past decade, the number of either man-made or natural fi res has remained stable. However, waste site fi res have risen along with the impact on nearby residents and businesses.
Concerns over the number and scale of fi res have led to changes to Environmental Permits, which require operators to produce a Fire Prevention Plan (FPP). However Dave Alcock, Director at AC Environmental, said: “AC Environmental Consulting Ltd specialise in producing FPPs.
“Our background is the hands on operation of waste facilities of all types, meaning we bring a practical approach to a problem and can negotiate solutions with the Environment Agency which will not harm your business.”
Larger, high risk sites, and sites applying for new or varied Environmental Permits now have to produce FPPs, designed to minimise the risk of fi re and to mitigate the eff ects.
Good news for all you would think, but the implementation has been problematic, with a number of revisions to offi cial guidance and also the Environment Agency assessment process.
Formerly, FPPs were assessed by a specialist Fire Prevention team, but this was disbanded and they are now assessed by agency offi cers in the regions.
The often rigid approach to guidance can result in requirements for signifi cant changes to site operations and site infrastructure.
This means FPPs are diffi cult to agree, lengthy, and time consuming. An FPP may mean added costs.

We have clients facing a bill of over £200,000 for changes to site infrastructure, and a small end-of-life vehicle site being required to install concrete surfacing and concrete perimeter walls, both of which would have resulted in fi nancial ruin for the operator – these issues are common place.
If a company is asked to produce a FPP, it would be advisable to consider letting a consultant assist A FPP is not just a piece of paper, it is equally as important as a permit and, if not approached correctly, the FPP can easily become too onerous and damaging to a business.
