23.12.13 - SRC Shun the Sherry and Mince Pies for Help for Heroes this Christmas

Steve and his team have been very busy in the run up to Christmas and we don’t mean eating mince pies and drinking sherry (or Guinness in Steve’s case).

Steve and his Help for Heroes trekking teammate Shane Willmoth have gracefully shunned the mince pies, chocolate coins, and all the other festive treats Christmas time brings to keep their physique and training up to scratch ready for their Vietnam Jungle Trek in the new year.

Hitting their fundraising challenges hard with quiz nights and shaking their collection cans, Steve and Shane have also hit the gym – so we are giving them a little break as they’ve managed to raise a whopping £2,000 already…so here’s a big Merry Christmas to everyone from SRC.

PS.. I think Father Christmas has given Steve a well deserving pint of Guinness for his charitable efforts.

Cheers everyone.

04.12.13 - Festive Fundraiser raises over £600 for Help for Heroes

Well done team SRC although the fundraising doesn’t stop there – keep your eyes peeled for more fun events to raise money for Help for Heroes in the new year.

14.11.13 - Fire Safety – it pays to be safe

Fire prevention is currently a hot topic in the UK with Fire Services urging the public to be on guard with possible fire hazards during their planned strikes.

SRC can only reiterate the message that Fire prevention, especially in the work place and sleeping accommodation is key to preventing potentially hazardous fires.

Throughout the winter Fire Safety should be on everyone’s minds, not just the Fire Service and professionals like ourselves as everyone cranks up the heat, uses additional heating such as calor gas fires and electric fan heaters and therefore increasing the risk of fire.

The biggest aid in Fire prevention is the use and installation of working smoke detectors.

Smoke detectors are recommended to be replaced every 10 years due to reliability and False alarm management (Both of which are British Standard Compliance issues).

Below is a statement straight from the biggest supplier of smoke detectors’ website

Recommended Working Life of Apollo Detectors

Detectors manufactured by Apollo have a recommended working life of 10 years when used in dry, non-corrosive atmospheres and provided that they are regularly inspected, tested, cleaned and recalibrated as outlined in these pages. This period has been assessed on the basis of information provided by component suppliers and on twenty years’ experience of servicing these products.

Most Apollo detectors will continue to operate within specification after 10 years’ service, however, gradual deterioration of integrity and reliability should be allowed for.

In the interests of safety and the avoidance of unwanted alarms, Apollo recommends the routine replacement of detectors after 10 years’ service.

We have a fantastic offer on detector replacements valid until 1st January 2014;

Apollo S60 or S65 detectors         £32.50 each

Apollo XP95 detectors                   £42.50 each

There are other manufacturers in the market place, there are similar offers on most.

The offer is based on a minimum of 75 detectors + per site (Like for like replacements only). The price includes all labour and travel. There is a 50% deposit required on all orders then balance to be paid 30days month end.

All prices Exclude VAT.

01.11.13 - Help for Heroes Jungle Challenge

Detox diets, running shoes, hiking boots and the gym are the buzz words of the week for Team SRC at the minute.

Fire and Safety System Specialist Steve Collins alongside Waterside Community Association’s Shane Willmouth are preparing for the biggest challenge of their lives; a Vietnamese Jungle Trek to raise funds for Help For Heroes.

The fundraising mission goes beyond their respect for the Help for Heroes charity as both Steve and Shane admit the Trek will push their physical and mental abilities boundaries.

Admitting the trek is somewhat ambitious, both Steve and Shane have been working hard, hitting the gym daily and missing out on the usual Friday night curries to get them both in peak condition for their trek next year.

If you would like to help Steve and Shane reach their lofty goal of raising £10,000 for Help for Heroes then donate here http://www.bmycharity.com/srcfire

15.02.13 - Fire Safety Tips for Business

Fire Safety Director

Choose an employee to be the fire safety director for your organization. Depending on the size of your business, you should also appoint an alternate fire safety director to who is equally trained in the absence of the primary fire safety director. This employee should review, master and revise fire safety plans. The fire safety director should also coordinate fire drills and schedule fire safety and training presentations for other employees.

Fire Extinguishers

Every business must have portable fire extinguishers. Employees should be able to readily locate the extinguishers. They must be easily accessible and fully charged at all times and should never leave their designated location, except in the event of a fire. No employee should have to travel more than 10m to 30m to access an extinguisher. Fire extinguishers must also be regularly inspected by a qualified business such as SRC Fire. Read more about or Fire Extinguisher & Maintenance Service

Evacuation Plans

Evacuation plans will vary depending on the type of business and how many people will need to be evacuated. Evacuation routes should include escape routes and alternate escape routes for every room.

Evacuation plans should also indicate which employees are responsible for carrying out particular duties and a planned procedure for reporting a fire to the Local Fire Station. Employees should also be aware of the procedures for accounting for all present employees.

The floor plan should include the following information: exits, where to assemble, primary and alternate evacuation routes, where to take cover, location of fire alarms and extinguishers, and the location of the fire alarm controls. SRC install and maintain Fire Alarm Systems that you can rely on when you most need them. Read more about our Fire Alarm Systems

Fire Drills

SRC Fire recommend holding regular fire drills, both announced and unannounced. Encourage all building occupants to participate and maintain records of the drills. By doing this, all employees will be consistently refreshed on the fire drill procedure.
