Free presentation of interest to all licensed premises

There are a few spaces left for this presentation:

Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service (HFRS) in conjunction with the Safer Portsmouth Partnership are offering free guidance in relation to the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, to all pubs and clubs in Portsmouth and Havant.

In 2009, the Portsmouth Best Bar None process identified that many operators of licensed premises had a lack of understanding and knowledge of their fire safety responsibilities and obligations.

In response to this HFRS conducted a training session with venue owners and responsible managers in order to ensure that everyone was given the opportunity to find out what they needed to do in order to comply with the law.

HFRS are now offering the same opportunity to new operators or as a refresher training.

Areas covered will include:

• Fire risk assessments. 
• Employer responsibilities. 
• Premises capacities. 
• Crowd management. 

The training will be held at Southsea Fire station, Somers Road, Southsea PO5 4LU at 1.30 pm on Thursday 25th April 2013. It will be expected to last approximately 2 hrs. There is free parking and refreshments.

If you wish to attend could you please reply as soon as possible with your full name, name of licensed premises, telephone number and (where possible) email address to the contact details given below.
