Wednesday 14th December 2.00 pm

Our Venue is.

Cwmfelin Social Club, Courtney Street, Swansea SA5 9NR. The club has excellent facilities, easy parking facilities and is conveniently situated 100 yards from Cwmbwrla  roundabout. Our meeting will be hybrid i.e., face to face in the club with the added facility to take part virtually.

The Welsh Government has confirmed that the first part of the Fire Safety Act has come into force in Wales extending the scope of fire safety as part of the post- Grenfell reforms.

Section 1 of the Fire Safety Act 2021 sets out that the fire risk assessment of buildings covered by the Fire Safety Order must include the buildings’ structure and external walls, as well as all doors between the domestic premises and common parts.

To accompany the change, the Welsh government has published guidance on the Fire Safety Act 2021 and how it applies in Wales. It sets out the roles and responsibilities of the Responsible Person and the Duty Holder, as well as providing guidance on fire safety risk assessment.

Our speaker will be Station Manager Matthew Roberts, Deputy Head of Business Fire Safety, Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Authority.
