Change request published - Business continuity (article from October 2024)

The change request for Business continuity has been approved and published. Business continuity guidance was published to UKFRS.com and predates our project. Until now this has not been reviewed. It contains one Hazard: Fire control room equipment failure. The associated control measures are outdated in parts and does not cover contingency arrangements.

The new content contains additional control measure, contingency arrangements. A new hazard, loss of primary fire control, with an existing control measure, establish alternative fire control arrangements. New content also includes a hazard, loss of the 999/112 emergency call service, with two new control measures.

Business continuity guidance is intended as a supplement to organisational business continuity plans.

Training specifications have been drafted to accompany this new guidance.
