@SadiqKhan @NightingaleLDN Can you urgently confirm all #NightingaleHospital #firesafety standards have been met directly (HTM) or via risk based #fireengineering approach
+
Evidence such in public domain

Cc @fionatwycross @LondonFire @NFCC_FireChiefs @labcuk @GeoffWilkinson

@SadiqKhan @NightingaleLDN @fionatwycross @LondonFire @NFCC_FireChiefs @labcuk @GeoffWilkinson Learned nothing from #grenfell or #summerlands

Now were loading #covid19 #NightingaleHospital with PVC fuel load + oxygen supply

+ non-complaint compartments

+ Reg bodies stating don’t expect building standards submissions!

= disaster in waiting

@SadiqKhan @NightingaleLDN @fionatwycross @LondonFire @NFCC_FireChiefs @labcuk @GeoffWilkinson Clip from the 1973 #summerlandfire (pic 3&4) which resulted in 50 fatalities - due to plastic materials + large in compartmented spaces

Now picture the same fire scenario @NightingaleLDN 4,000 bed mega filed hospital (pic 1&2) which approvals are suspect

@SadiqKhan @NightingaleLDN @fionatwycross @LondonFire @NFCC_FireChiefs @labcuk @GeoffWilkinson Ok a little more digging and a planning application may be viewed on @NewhamLondon planing portal

@SadiqKhan @NightingaleLDN @fionatwycross @LondonFire @NFCC_FireChiefs @labcuk @GeoffWilkinson @NewhamLondon Planning application fire strategy statement link + extracts

Notes

Compartmentation isn’t fire resistant between halls

However thankfully the building has L1 fire detection + fire suppression + AOVs for smoke control

+ Mentions another fire strategy

@GeoffWilkinson @SadiqKhan @NightingaleLDN @fionatwycross @LondonFire @NFCC_FireChiefs @JuliaHB1 As Geoff points out we don’t see approvals or full robust fire safety strategy for @NightingaleLDN

Concerning the basis of HTM05-02 progressive horizontal evacuation - during a fire incident moving patients from a fire area to adjacent safe zone appears to be abandoned.
@GeoffWilkinson @SadiqKhan @NightingaleLDN @fionatwycross @LondonFire @NFCC_FireChiefs @JuliaHB1 In very high dependence units progressive evacuation may result in a fatality so fire tight boxed by compartmentation & sub-compartments permits defend in place + evacuation only as a last resort.

It’s unclear how this will be achieved in @NightingaleLDN
@GeoffWilkinson @SadiqKhan @NightingaleLDN @fionatwycross @LondonFire @NFCC_FireChiefs @JuliaHB1 With such expansive uncompartmented floor areas clearly not complying with the core requirements of HTM05-02

More over where very high dependancy areas such as ICU / ACU patient areas are designated & requiring a smaller sub-compartments units to limit fuel load + fire spread

@suejbright @insidehousing @MancCommunities @RobertJenrick @NFCC_FireChiefs Thanks for the inclusion & interested to see your + @nearlylegal views

Quick #firesafety response & then detail

A) Reject the letter: waking watch (+fire & security) personal are designated safety critical key worker status under @mhclg guidance

gov.uk/guidance/remed…
@suejbright @insidehousing @MancCommunities @RobertJenrick @NFCC_FireChiefs @nearlylegal @mhclg B) Here’s the key extracts from @mhclg guidance

Waking watch is specifically designated as safety critical -

“providing a vital public safety function to keep homes safe ..... during #covid19
@suejbright @insidehousing @MancCommunities @RobertJenrick @NFCC_FireChiefs @nearlylegal @mhclg C) Building owner or landlord superiors (responsible person under the fire safety order) + person having control over the building (property manager or agent)

As such they are responsible for assessing (all) risks & making buildings safe - not residents
