Essential information for those companies and managers who look after purpose-built blocks of flats I wish to bring to your attention a guidance document supported by the National Fire Chiefs Council (NFCC) in conjunction with Local Government Association (LGA).

The guidance note provides advice to building owners, their professional advisors and fire and rescue services on issues to consider where a decision is made, based on a comprehensive risk assessment carried out by a competent person, to suspend temporarily a stay put policy and adopt a simultaneous evacuation strategy.

Although written for those responsible for the safety of residents in purpose-built blocks of flats, the principles of this guidance may, in certain circumstances, be applied to other premises.

Please see a copy of the document here NFCC Guidance

Whoever we are and whatever job we are applying for, it's always a worrying time, after all you want the job, right? Well not always as we have found out.

Interview readiness is essential if you are to put your best foot forward, it's far better to be in a job than sitting at home festering away with no ambition or goals in life.

Please see attached an example of a test paper we provide to candidates during the 1SC Guarding Ltd interview process.  For those of you with background knowledge of security it shouldn’t prove too difficult, but for others it will rack your brains and send you looking for your IPhone for the answers!

The pass mark is 24 out of 30 the success rate is to date 3 out of 55 pass (shockingly) so come on give it a go, DON’T CHEAT

If you fail, may I cordially suggest you hand in your SIA license and hang your head in shame!!

Please forward your test papers and I will mark them personally (no cheating).
