tbtc   10 #961 Posted May 20, 2012 bin shopping there today for the first time will not be going again saftey is an after thought if god forbid there was a fire on the upper floor youve had it your toast the downward escalator was not working and the emergency exits were locked so your only way back down was a lift with your trolley you would only get two trolleys and two people max this is not on can somebody who maybe works for hse investigate or have they already given it a green flag to say its safe because its not its a death trap  You do know that there's an entrance/exit from the top level directly out to Spittal Hill?   There's no need to use any escalator/ lift in a fire - you simply walk out of the door (level access, by the end of the cafe, straight outside).  Now, does that sound like a death trap?

damophoto   10 #962 Posted May 20, 2012 dont forget though that fire certificates are long gone, and replaced with the rrfso.  True. The necessary risk assessments To identify, manage and reduce the risk of fire will be done by whoever deals with their health and safety policy. But the fire officer is still the one who enforces rrfso. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
