compliance with your legal responsibilities in
relation to fire safety and should be completed
following the inspection, test, and maintenance
of any of the items required by the legislation.
The fire safety logbook should be available for
inspection by any Fire Officer who inspects your
premises, it should also be available to relevant
employees, or any service engineer as required.
They should record regular checks and record
findings on: All escape routes are clear, and the
floor is in a good state.: You record any faults in
systems and equipment: All fire alarm systems
are working: The emergency lighting is working:
Fire doors close correctly and in good working
News & Articles
order: Fire extinguishers and the fire safety
signs are in the right place: Training and Fire
drills are logged.
Fire safety is important and necessary in the
workplace in order to prevent and protect
against the destruction caused by fire. Fire
safety reduces the risk of injury, death
and building damage that fires can cause.
Developing and implementing fire safety
protocols in the workplace is not only required
by law but it is crucial to everyone’s safety that
may be in the building during a fire emergency.

MEMORIES ARE MADE OF THIS
by Margaret Drummond
Did you enjoy the King’s Coronation
On your TV or laptop or mobile phone?
Not like his Mother’s great occasion
When few homes had TV and just monochrome.
If you recall that you would be just a laddie
Maybe in short trousers and long socks called ‘top hose’,
Or just a wee lass with your hair tied in ribbons
Posing for a photo in your best party clothes.
Do you remember the Coronation pageant
Winding from Rattray through Blairgowrie and back,
A historic tableau of Blair through the ages
As large crowds lined the streets and waved Union Jacks.
Later perhaps you climbed to light a beacon
On Mount Blair or Knockie with the Scouts or the Guides,
As part of the chain lit throughout the nation
Along with firework displays at venues far and wide.
Did you eat exotic like Coronation chicken,
A special new recipe made for the event?
And maybe this time you had Coronation quiches,
Easy on the budget if it was nearly spent.
If you were old enough to jig at the Coronation Dance
That would have cost you 2/6d in 1953,
Then for this second time around I hope you got the chance
To enjoy the Coronation Day of 2023.
