During a recent conference, directors Paul Meadows, Stuart Power and Paul Morris painted a very rosy picture of the business year ahead.

“We are delighted with the last year’s progress. With staffing levels reaching a new high of 37, and our graduate placement scheme ready to launch, our position within the profession has never been better.”

“Our in house skills have extended from Building Control, to now include CDM, Fire Engineering and Risk Assessments through to Access Auditing and Acoustic specialisms. We can now offer structured development across the broad scope of the Building Control profession.”

The conference, held at the home of Hinckley United F.C., culminated with objectives for the future set out by the staff and directors of Salus.

New Fire Safety Laws in Force
17/10/06



New legislation aimed at reducing the risk of death, personal injury and damage to property from fire in non-domestic premises came in to force on 1st October 2006. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order affects not only businesses, but charities and voluntary organisations too. Self-employed people who use premises separate from their home for business activities are also included.

The order covers general fire prevention and fire safety duties to protect personnel in case a fire does break out.

Director Stuart Power, a qualified Fire Engineer, said: "Each organisation must appoint a responsible person or persons to carry out a fire risk assessment.

It should identify potential hazards, such as inflammable substances and pay special attention to people at particular risk such as the elderly or disabled.

If five or more are employed, significant findings of the assessment must be recorded and addressed. Salus have qualified fire safety experts with the competence necessary to produce these assessments and advise on the complex area of fire safety legislation in buildings."
