Fire risk assessment trainings minimises risk of damage

February 5th, 2011

UK Fire Training helps to safeguard British business from fire break outs and emergencies.

United Kingdom, January 2011 – UK Fire Training is delivering fire risk assessment trainings that explicitly helps British businesses minimise their risk of ever sustaining fire damage. The highly acclaimed nation wide fire training service has developed an outstanding set of fire risk assessment modules and protocols, which are individually directed according to the actual working premises and environment of any company booking an assessment course.

The start of the fire risk assessment is tailored to ensure that all attendees are able to identify possible sources of fire hazard in and around the building they work in: and to further ensure that any actual working processes that might increase a danger of fire are identified and ring fenced. The fire risk assessment trainings then teach course attendees how to evaluate and remove all risks: and to ensure that future protection against these risks is robust, simple and easily understood by all employees. UK Fire Training will then instigate training that shows attendees how to operate in the event of a fire being detected – who to contact, who to warn, and how. Further, the UK Fire Training risk assessment modules will then show companies how to review their own fire prevention processes on a regular basis – effectively giving them the tools to develop full industry approved fire risk assessments whenever the need arises.

The fire risk assessment trainings promoted by UK Fire Training (www.ukfiretraining.com) are the perfect way to answer government requirements that all business provide a testable framework of fire safety for their premises and employees. Carrying out regular risk assessments, with a “responsible person” doing those risk assessments, is a legal responsibility. The training modules developed and run by UK Fire Training answer this responsibility in full. Courses will be carried out at the course purchaser’s place of work for convenience.

January 5th, 2011

The University of Abertay Dundee has signed up to a new HR/Payroll software solution run and hosted by leading independent SAP consultancy Absoft, which specialises in serving the higher education sector. The new solution offers the institution major cost and energy savings in crucial organisational operations.

The system will be hosted on servers located at Absoft’s UK data centre – which can then be remotely accessed by desktop computers in offices anywhere in the world. Abertay intends to begin using the service before the end of the year.

Absoft managing director, Ian Mechie, says the development allows clients to access world class HR / Payroll software, while avoiding the substantial implementation costs associated with installing such systems on-site, and minimising ongoing operational bills.

Based on SAP – the world’s leading HR/Payroll software and the product of more than 30 years’ public and private sector experience – the shared service incorporates the full complement of best practice processes relevant to the higher education sector.

Ian Mechie, managing director of Absoft, says: “Budgets are being severely cut in higher and further education institutions across the UK however, no one wants to see efficiency or results negatively affected.

“No department will feel the pressure more than HR, with staff costs making up more than 50% of a typical university’s annual expenditure.
“With our HR/Payroll shared service offering, Abertay will have access to the rich functionality within SAP without the need to install new server equipment within the walls of the university itself. This has the potential to deliver significant savings in time and cost.

“The shared service delivery method will contribute to greater energy efficiency and a reduced carbon footprint at Abertay, as well as guaranteeing system security, continuity and legislative compliance. Crucially, the solution can be scaled to meet the future demands of the university, protecting Abertay’s investment in the long term.”

The University of Abertay Dundee is a renowned centre of excellence for educational innovation, offering degrees in a wide range of technology, science and business-related disciplines, and the city of Dundee has built a reputation for innovation in the sector.

Absoft will be showcasing the shared service at stand 18 in the UCISA (Universities and Colleges Information Systems Association) CISG (Corporate Information Systems Group) exhibition at the Hilton Brighton Metropole, from November 3 – 5, 2010.

Absoft provides sap for higher education to universities and colleges in the UK.
