CSNC involvement in FBU's recommendations following Grenfell

Conference notes that following the tragic Grenfell Tower incident a number of concerns have been raised by Emergency Fire Control Members. These concerns include:

• Fire Survival Guidance

• Adequate levels of supervision

• Staffing in Emergency Fire Controls, particularly at night

• Resilience in Emergency Fire Controls

• Staffing numbers being determined by call number not work load

• “Buddy” arrangements

• Counselling and support for Members

• Unsafe working practices.

Conference demands that the concerns of our Emergency Fire Control Members are taken into account during any Fire Brigades Union discussions regarding Grenfell and with the assistance of the Control Staff National Committee are raised at local and national management level.
