Hello, and thanks to everyone for being on time. The meeting will be fairly short and
we'll only be looking at fire procedures. I had a similar meeting with the senior Fire
Officers earlier today. But you're all here because you volunteered to act as fire
wardens for your own particular department. And for some of you this will be your first
time in the role. Although you'll probably have taken part in several fire drills since
you've been here. But now the construction work is finished and we have a couple of
new corridors and stairways. We need the meeting to update everyone. And before I
forget, you might have noticed a bit of upgrading last week, the handheld fire
extinguishers, the standard ones on the wall. The report says they're all working well as
is the overhead sprinkler system. But the old alarm system has been replaced and
should be a lot more reliable. Anyway, as fire wardens, you have a number of
responsibilities. Okay, those wardens responsible for the factory buildings. You'll
remember we had a minor fire back in January. Luckily, the fire doors around the room
stopped most of the smoke from getting out but the alarm should have been pressed a
lot earlier. From what I understand staff felt somewhat reluctant to activate it themselves
and we're looking for someone senior. So please ensure that everyone knows it's their
responsibility to take action immediately. Can you also make sure that if anyone new
has been hired since then that they've read the fire notices and wardens for Office
departments, you will also have to have a word with your staff. When the fire alarm went
off in January in that mine of fire, people got out of the office building pretty quickly. That
was fine. But once they were out, they stood right in front of the doors. So if the fire
crews had needed to access the offices, they would have been prevented. Good to see
that everyone had left their bags and stuff behind though.

Okay, next on the agenda. There's a few aspects of fire safety that we need to go
through with all your wardens. Firstly, we want to make sure that when we have the next
fire drill, there's nothing blocking the way in the escape routes. No obstacles, I mean, so
please have a look at that as soon as possible. We want to be able to get outside very
quickly. One thing that should definitely be on your to do list is making sure no one's
locked the fire doors and then it's easy enough to get through them. Now, you might
remember that last year we had a fire officer come and visit and show us what to do if
we see a colleague starting to suffer from the effects of smoke inhalation. Well, the
same officers coming back to lead another session. Another issue is how to handle the
fire extinguishers. Someone from the local fire department has booked into teach
people how to do that. I think it would be a good idea of fire wardens and department
staff attended those sessions. Let's see what else is on the list. Oh yes, the evacuation
points. The green area behind the main carpark the pavement on Hunter Street and the
unused area behind the factory carpark. Fire wardens need to make sure all staff are
familiar with the Use locations for evacuation. So please send out emails directly after
the meeting. And the last point is to do with flammable liquids. I believe there have been
a few concerns about where they were being stored in the warehouse but that's been
resolved now. However, if anyone has anything else to report, do let me know.
