Success of fire door scheme prompts recruitment of general manager

Neil Ashdown has been appointed General Manger of the Fire Door Inspection Scheme (FDIS).
His recruitment comes in response to the increasing number of people registering for the FDIS Diploma and the launch later this year of the official qualification for certificated fire door inspectors.

Neil has worked in the door and timber industries throughout his career, most recently running his own businesses focussing on the sales of timber doors, joinery, loose timber and allied products, and the supply of non standard fire doors. He is a long-time member of the British Woodworking Federation and the BWF-CERTIFIRE Fire Door and Doorset Scheme. He has also achieved the FDIS Diploma in Fire Doors earlier this year – the diploma which he will now oversee.

He says: “It is good to be part of the contribution that FDIS can make to saving lives and property through creating a better understanding of the critical role of fire doors.  I passed the FDIS Diploma earlier this year and was very impressed by the online education it offers. I’m now looking forward to helping individuals and companies in the industry, as well as those responsible for building safety, to benefit from this new industry resource.”

The UK’s Fire Door Inspection Scheme is the first such scheme in Europe, providing professionals with online learning leading to a Diploma in Fire Doors, and a route to become a certificated fire door inspector.

The scheme is designed to help improve safety and save lives through creating a new pool of expertise and competence to help those with legal responsibilities under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order. It provides a vital new resource to help the ‘Responsible Person’ complete fire risk assessments for the premises they manage. It also raises awareness of defective fire doors and the potentially tragic consequences of leaving these unchecked.

FDIS is a joint initiative developed by the BWF-CERTIFIRE Fire Door and Doorset Scheme and the Guild of Architectural Ironmongers.

Review of the 60th ARGE General Meeting held in Helsinki, Finland - 13 to 15 September 2012

The European Federation of Association of  Locks & Builders Hardware Manufacturers

ARGE would like to welcome a new executive to the board: Mr Hans Weissenboeck. Hans is from Austria but represents the Swiss Association. He attended his first ARGE Conference in Budapest in 1993 when he was general manager of Grundmann GEGE (Austrian manufacturers of cylinders and locks). He continued as general manager after the merger of Grundmann with Kaba in 1997. For a number of years Hans has attended numerous ARGE congresses as a member of ARGE’s Working Group C and also, as convenor of TC33 WG4 TG4 on cylinders.

Resignations
The delegates attending the General Meeting were informed of the official resignation of two board members that occurred earlier in the year.

Mr Guiliano Modesti who had been a board member for eight years, resigned in April 2012 to focus on his work as Chief Executive of Dorma in Italy. And also Gerhard Wenger, who resigned in January 2012 after four years of service. Wenger relocated to Singapore, to become Head of Division (Access and Data Systems for Asia-Pacific) for Kaba.

 Both the Chairman, Jorma Siren, and General Secretary, Joachim Kieker, wished Modesti and Wenger well, and thanked them for their years of commitment to ARGE.

The General Meeting in retrospect would have benefited by being given more than an hour’s time. The Chairman ran through a list of what ARGE has achieved over the last year. Which included:-

• The 5 meetings of the executive board
• Development of the Business Plan
• Cooperation with EDSF
• Lobby work with KELLEN and ORGALIME 
• The quarterly technical reports produced
• The numerous marketing communications created and distributed via website news stories and press releases.
• A review of the three active working groups and the single sub-group of WG C.

Further detail of ARGE’s mission, aims and objectives are available in the 2012-13 Business Plan available from the General Secretary - j.kieker@arge.org

Sustainability
 The theme of the 60th Annual Congress was Sustainability, and this was emphasised in the review of the Business Plan. ARGE’s commitment to Sustainability was further addressed with an action plan on this topic that was written by Paul Browne of Assa Abloy. Unfortunately, at the last minute he was unable to present it himself. Stephan Schmidt from FV S +B came to the rescue and was the perfect understudy yet again.

Pierre Vilian presented his report on Standardisation. And Arjen Koole presented his report on the lock and hardware market, with graphs and forecasts.

All reports from the General Meeting will be available for members only on the website by the end of November 2012.

New Website
Zoe Quinlan, Marketing Executive, unveiled the new design of the ARGE website. This was very well received with some delegates jesting that it was too impressive to be British!  It has been produced by web design company, Hullaballoo and was launched on the 29th October 2012.

Review of the Lectures
A detailed review of the lectures held during the Conference will be published in our printed and digital magazines in early December. The digital version will be available at www.dijonline.co.uk from the 5th. 

For next year’s 61st Congress, Dublin has been put forward as a possible location

28 MINI FANS CRAM INTO THE RECORD BOOKS

A team of gym members from East Sussex smashed two Guinness World Records™ last Thursday for the number of people inside both a classic Mini and a 2012 MINI.

28 flexible ladies crammed their way into the MINI Hatch at Potters Fields Park, London as part of the eighth annual Guinness World Records day. The team broke their own previous record of 27 people, which they set in Eastbourne last year.

The ladies made full use of every inch of space available in the MINI, including the dashboard, the footwells and they even managed to squeeze four people in the boot.

As soon as they celebrated their first record the ladies dashed off to the ITV studios to attempt the second record live on This Morning, where by squeezing a staggering 23 ladies into a classic Mini, they managed to beat the previous record by two people.

On the same day more than 400,000 people around the world are took part in record-breaking events for the eighth annual Guinness World Records Day, which commemorates the day in 2004 when Guinness World Records became the world’s best-selling copyright book.

COMPUTER SAYS ‘NO’ - New research shows frustration induced by PC problems is reaching new levels

Suzi Perry takes out her PC frustrations

 

Be Friends with your PC is a campaign that encourages people to think about the performance (speed and stability) of their PCs. Most people experience frustrations with their PCs every day – such as slow start-ups, freezing, crashing and clutter – and this initiative aims to educate users on how they can solve these issues and become friends with their PCs again.

Slow, poor-performing PCs are making Brits increasingly frustrated. According to research released this week, the issue has become such a pain point that some Brits would much rather visit the dentist, queue for hours or be put on hold by a call centre for more than 10 minutes, than face a snail-paced computer.

Whether it’s a slow start-up or the loss of precious files and documents, the annoyance caused by PCs letting us down has sky rocketed.  Over a third of those surveyed find a slow PC just as aggravating as an airline losing their luggage and as infuriating as finding fraudulent charges on a credit card. For almost one in three Brits, the frustration is on par with losing a mobile phone.

‘Frustration Zone’ launched to help release PC irritations
 
To help ease the pains of computer annoyances, a ‘Frustration Zone’ has been set up to release pent-up stress and help users be friends with their PCs again. Fed up PC lovers can smash plates, hit out at punch bags and thump a boxer punch machine in a bid to tame tempers.

Gadget Expert, Suzi Perry, who officially launched the Frustration Zone, commented: “There’s nothing more frustrating than a slow PC. We’ve all suffered from sluggish computers at one point or another – we’ve missed deadlines, lost work and been driven to despair by machines grinding to a painful halt. Although it can be frustrating, the key is to resist the urge to smash something as there are lots of simple and effective ways to get your tech back up to speed. If you can’t resist the rage, the Frustration Zone is the perfect place to vent that pent up fury.”

The Frustration Zone has been set up by Be Friends with your PC, a campaign that encourages people to think about the performance (speed and stability) of their PCs.

Sunray’s SR5 high security door can now incorporate louvres and vision panels

The introduction of Sunray’s independently certified Security Rating 5 high specification, high security steel doors, announced earlier this Autumn, has been exceptionally well received by customers demanding ever higher levels of physical security to protect their employees and property.

Constantly striving to always move forward, Sunray is now proud to announce that in addition to achieving the LPS 1175 (issue 7) SR5 rating for this doorset, it has taken its innovative development and testing even further and can now also meet this exacting security standard when either a VisionPanel and/or an ExcluVent are incorporated in the door.

ExcluVent provides a minimum of 53% free airflow when incorporated in a door and can be positioned in either the top or bottom sections, or both as required, without compromising integral strength and security. Constructed using reinforced welded steel, each ExcluVent louvre measures 400x400mm, is electro-zinc plated for increased corrosion resistance and includes an anti-vermin mesh at the rear of each panel.

Sunray’s VisionPanel offers discreet observation by natural surveillance where vision is important but without compromising security. Meeting the requirements of all security-conscious markets, the 200x300mm robust viewing area is constructed using a toughened glass sandwich system and is fabricated to the same exacting standards as the SR5 rated Sunray steel high security door.

"We constantly strive to meet our customers' physical and practical security needs as well as meet their aesthetic requirements when it comes to the design, manufacture and installation of security doors,” stated David Evans MD at Sunray. “Being able to offer a choice of ExcluDoors, certified to SR3, 4 and SR5, with the option to include VisionPanels and ExcluVents in each means they can select with confidence a product that exactly meets their particular demands.

“Add the fact that they can also be specified in a wide range of BS or RAL powder coatings colours to meet existing décor requirements and the fact that they all feature high quality locks, furniture and fixtures as standard - it is easy to understand why Sunray is increasingly being selected as their supplier of choice for individually fabricated security doors and other security solutions.”

For more information on the inherently strong ExcluDoor range of security doors or for information on ExcluVent or VisionPanels visit www.sunraydoors.co.uk or call +44 (0) 1233 639039.

DHF membership grows as it raises the quality bar

The Door & Hardware Federation (DHF) has seen its biggest increase yet in membership numbers as more door companies embrace the DHF’s new quality standards.

In the last 12 months, 30 new members successfully applied to join the DHF, the trade body representing all the key players in industrial, commercial and garage doors and gates and building hardware.

The federation now has 229 members and expects many more companies to join its rank in the coming months. These companies want to benefit from the Quality Assurance initiative that only DHF members can offer their customers. The companies are also looking to the DHF for help in complying with new legislation coming into force next year.

All member companies must adhere to the DHF’s Quality Assured standards of capability, customer service and quality. The DHF scheme follows the introduction last year of a strengthened Code of Conduct governing members’ standards of workmanship, quality, training safety and business integrity.

Said DHF executive chairman Bob Perry:  

“Adherence to the DHF QA standards by companies involved in the manufacture, supply, installation and maintenance of doors and shutters gives them the competitive edge in the market.

“In addition, on July 2013, it will become a criminal offence to place any non-fire external doorset or non-fire industrial or garage door on the market without a CE mark. Companies are realising they need the backing and support of the DHF to enable them to comply with all the procedures they have to go through before they can apply the CE mark. 

“The significant increase in membership we are currently experiencing shows we are achieving our aim of driving up quality levels throughout the industry and delivering commercial benefit for our members.”

For more information about DHF membership, the DHF QA scheme, and CE marking visit www.dhfonline.org.uk .

Euro hotel fire safety ‘not good enough’

Arlene McCarthy, MEP for the North West

A call for the fire safety industry to heighten awareness of the dangers created by hoteliers who fail to follow the Fire Safety Regulatory Reform Order (2005) has been issued by Exova Warringtonfire supported by North West European MP Arlene McCarthy.

An expose by BBC Inside Out South West revealed shocking failings in a number of hotels where one elderly lady found herself trapped and fire doors with seals missing, without panic bolts or emergency push pads.

At the same time, startling new figures released by Fire and Rescue Services show that 46 per cent of public buildings, 42 per cent of care homes, 42 per cent of schools and 37 per cent of hospitals were found to be ‘unsatisfactory’ when inspected.

Arlene McCarthy, Member of the European Parliament for the North West, has been a campaigner for improved safety in hotels.

She said: “As former Chair of the European Parliament’s Consumer Protection Committee, I have been calling for tougher enforcement of fire safety in hotels for a number of years.

“Working alongside the Federation of European Fire Officers I have heard first hand of terrifying examples of negligence; sprinklers without a water supply, covered smoke alarms and blocked fire exits. The European Commission needs to take action to drive up standards to cut the fire risk and it is a shame that it is failing to make such progress.” 

Chris Hughes, an Associate at Exova Warringtonfire, said: “You don’t expect to have to check the safety of fire doors and escape routes when you check in to a hotel but this is where it is going.

Chris Hughes, Exova Warringtonfire

“Good fire safety management is important in hotels where large numbers of people find themselves in unfamiliar surroundings, reliant on the hotel getting it right.

“Professional accurate fire risk assessment, selection of products and installation are paramount to rectify any remedial works identified by the assessor.

“Good management of fire safety will become more and more important over the next 12 months as the government tries to reduce regulatory enforcement across all areas.”

Arlene McCarthy
Arlene McCarthy was elected to the European Parliament in 1994 and has been Labour Euro MP for the North West region since 1999. Arlene is currently Vice Chair of the Economic and Monetary Affairs Committee and continues to campaign on consumer issues affecting North West residents.

It is a perfect gift for anybody that loves cars and music - a new book that is about to hit the shelves just in time for Christmas.

All as passionate about their motors as they are about music Rockin Garages illustrates the incredible collections that these rock stars keep in their garages. Hot rods, customs, muscle cars, motorcycles, race cars, and sports cars—the variety of vehicles is as eclectic as rock ‘n roll itself.

Rockin’ Garages showcases top performers, their cars, and their garages. Authors Tom Cotter and Ken Gross profile each musician after spending hours and days with each one to reveal an in-depth story behind their moto-lust and what drives their car collecting. Each profile is complemented by Michael Alan Ross’ top-notch photography. Rockin’ Garages puts you behind the wheel with some of your favorite musicians.
