Draft London Safety Plan 2010/2013 - Fire Brigades Union London

What we said we would do during 2009/10
38 Refine the LLACC, its equipment and location, to
optimise available resources, increase resilience and
enhance London local authority regional communication
and co-ordination capabilities
39 Implement charging the owners of premises where we
repeatedly release people from lifts
40 Consider what further action we can take to reduce the
number of Shut in Lift calls we receive, which may
include call challenge and possibly non-attendance
except where there is a genuine emergency
41 Implement new policies and procedures which enable
us to ensure we have staff with the appropriate skills
when and where we most need them
What we have done so far
Work has continued on obtaining funding from all 33 London local authorities for the move to RCC.
Decision pending on the occupation of the site.
Work has continued on redrafting the Gold Resolution to reflect a change to the circumstances in which the
London Local Authority Coordination Centre (LLACC) can be activated.
Charging implemented on 1 November 09.
Call filtering for shut in lifts implemented 1 September. Results so far suggest a 25% reduction in
mobilisation.
First skill grouping workshop held in September which examined concept of proposal. 3 additional
workshops booked to develop concept and produce options paper.
42 Fit better hose reel jets on fire engines This work has been suspended until a wider review of water management on the incident ground is carried
out.
43 Introduce a third Rapid Response Team vehicle for
training and resilience
44 Introduce further improvements to our Command
Support System software (such as electronically
generated timelines) to further enhance our incident
management arrangements
This will be introduced in January 2010.
The project is progressing through the User Acceptance Testing (UAT). Following Go-Live of CSS, the
subsequent phases of the project are to deliver further improvements to the baseline products.
