Frazer-Nash senior consultant,
Jan Jarvis, has been appointed to the vice-chair role of the
Nuclear Industry Fire Safety Co-ordinating Committee
(NIFSCC).
Jan will be working with
representatives of the nuclear industry, fire and rescue services,
government, and regulators, to share learning and best practice on
the strategic fire safety issues facing the sector, and to
encourage compliance with fire safety standards.
Jan's specialist background in
fire safety and accident investigation in high risk industries, and
his experience in advising on fire protection at a wide range of
nuclear sites, means that he has a wealth of expertise with which
to support the group.
Jan said: "I am delighted to be
taking up this role, supporting the NIFSCC as it provides technical
advice, information and support to the nuclear industry in the
UK. As a forum for the
discussion of best practice, the sharing of information and the
recommendation of appropriate standards, the NIFSCC can help to
reduce fire losses in the industry, and minimise threats to life
and property."
The NIFSCC is the UK
forum that considers significant
fire safety and firefighting issues in the nuclear industry. The
forum shares learning and best practice, agrees on industry
response to issues, acts as a focal point for fire safety and fire
service management within the industry, and advises the Nuclear
Industry Safety Directors' Forum on fire safety matters. The forum
meets twice a year.
