The day activates comprised of on site experiments

Finally, a quick mention to other activities that
included fire extinguisher layout design, crowd

4. Final thoughts of 2015
Prevention is far better than having to complete a lessons learnt and
deal with the cost of an incident, a final thought is directed to
preventing such occurrences in the first instance and ensuring
appropriate controls are in place throughout including planned
preventative measures, training and education and appropriate
financial provisions are in place to support those activities. Here
are some images of investigation and audit findings. These
show electrical fire due to electrical arcing, unconnected and
damaged lightning conductor, inappropriately installed gas
detection and introduced fire risk brought into a facility
by a contractor.
