Q: Tell us about the type of fire safety work Form1 has carried out for your schools over many years?
A: In my view one of the most important functions of a fire services company is to provide current and trustworthy advice relating to all areas of Fire Compliance. Many companies can carry out simple services, such as extinguishers, but it’s the more complex areas of compliance where organisations require advice. In my view the professional staff at Form1 are totally up-to-date on the various codes and are happy to discuss issues before action is taken.
Q: Is there one specific project that stands out?
A: We have a particular school precinct of two schools and a major multipurpose hall facility. Each of these facilities had different dates for the AFSS. Form1 negotiated with Council to ensure all individual sites were brought into line, which cut our costs in terms of site visits and administration. Form1 have a particular skill dealing with Local Government Authorities and taking this problem away from the client.
