London Fire Risk Assessments is supporting a Greek charity – Attika. Attika operates a humanitarian warehouse hub that provides Non-Government Charities (NGO’s) with desperately needed supplies for the homeless and vulnerable refugees on the mainland and the Greek islands.

So why are we helping Attika – they are fighting for survival its as simple as that! The war in Ukraine and Palestine the environmental disasters all over the world and the energy crisis has captured the media attention resulting in the refugee crisis in Greece being forgotten.

What do Attika supply to NGO’s – from they central hub in Athens they supply food, hygiene products, mother and baby packs, nappies, coats, pushchairs, blankets, tents, sleeping bags and so much more.

What Attika needs to survivethey need donations! Donations have dried up and many NGO’s have already crashed, including FoodKind a wonderful charity that supplied a daily hot meal to the Malakasa refugee camp. That meal was probably the only one desperately hungry people had. If Attika do not get donations they too will crash and as a consequence so will many, many grass root NGO’s who rely on them.

What can you do – It is a lot to ask but they need funds. If you are a London based Company in the Fire Safety industry with a Greek connection or just a passion for Greece, then you could give a Company donation. If you are a person who just sees the desperation in the country and you would love to help then please click here or go to www.attikasar.org  and help the forgotten crisis.

The Landlord of a London Hotel being used as a House in Multiple Occupancy has been fined £10,000 for breaches in Fire Safety.

The London Hotel was being used as a ‘house in multiple occupation’ (HMO), licensed to house 20 tenants. When inspected it was identified as “fell below acceptable safety standards”. The serious fire safety risk led the Environmental Health Officers to bring a prosecution against the Landlord for putting the lives of the building’s occupants in danger.

This prosecution should serve as a warning to Landlords who don’t meet required standards as they will face legal action to protect the health and safety of tenants.

If you are the Responsible Person for a Hotel or HMO in London or Manchester then you should have a Fire Safety Risk Assessment. The Fire Safety Inspection/Audit should be carried out by an accredited Fire Risk Assessor who will provide a ‘suitable and sufficient’ Fire Safety Risk Assessment.

London Fire Risk Assessments has introduced a Fire Risk Assessment and Fire Marshal Training package saving customers time and money. This offer is particularly suitable for Office environments but can be adapted for all industry sectors.

London Fire Risk Assessments has introduced a Fire Risk Assessment and Fire Marshal Training package to help save time and money for busy Office environments.

It is imperative that Offices have an up to date Fire Safety Risk Assessment which is deemed ‘suitable and sufficient’ – that is the law! But in our experience, more often than not, the Fire Risk Assessments identifies that the Fire Marshal Training is out of date or hasn’t even taken place. So to help customers organise both requirements we have introduced this combined package.

So this is how it works – The accredited Fire Risk Assessor will come to site and carry out a detailed Fire Safety Inspection/Audit. Once completed the Fire Marshal Training will commence which can accommodate up to 10 delegates. The Fire Risk Assessor may highlight some of the deficiencies to the delegates so they can relate to the required Fire Safety Actions in their own environment. Once the Fire Marshal Training is completed the Fire Risk Assessor will be on his way and the Fire Risk Assessment Report will be prepared.

Simple, Quick and Effective!
