IFEDA : Extinguisher refresher courses Great Yarmouth and Glasgow

As you know BS5306-3 : 2009 requires that fire extinguisher technicians renew their certificate every three years*.


To this end there will be a one day extinguisher refresher course at the Holiday Inn Express, West Nile Street, Glasgow on 23rd May and at the Caldecott hotel, Fritton, Great Yarmouth on 17th May.


Please note the IFEDA extinguisher training courses are recognised by BAFE as per BS5306-3 : 2009 annex A – and carry CPD accreditation.

*As previously highlighted, if you are in the BAFE scheme SP101/ST104 or are working towards the scheme – BAFE assessors are now looking for ‘large gaps’ between certificates and if appropriate recommending that the initial course may need to be retaken.

HSE - income from Business NOT taxpayer

Did you know that the Government has declared that the cost of the Health & Safety Executive must no longer be supported/funded by the government/tax payer, but that the costs of running it must ultimately lie with businesses.


They have already piloted this fee income generation programme, and it has seen costs to businesses of circa £16,000. The new 'scheme' includes £124.00 per hour i.e. the fee for any written intervention by the HSE.
Businesses include anyone in the 'supply' chain of products i.e. fire alarms, extinguishers etc

To meet concerns of IFEDA members IFEDA has joined forces with HR Specialists Fitzpatrick Wilkes & Co to deliver a H&S  seminar.
