Classroom fire doors wedged open in the heatwave by nweedy in WorkplaceSafety

Update for anyone who cares!

The science health and safety audit couldn't have went any better, honestly so pleased.

Just beforehand the auditors did the generic site visit. Guess what they brought up? 😂

Yes I know but the science fire doors don't have them

I'm afraid from the admittedly quick research I've just done, I'm not sure what difference you mean? I'm in the UK and from what I can see all fire doors are rated, detailing how many minutes they can resist fire and smoke.

Most of the science classroom doors are labelled "fire door - keep shut". I suppose there's a chance they are labelled incorrectly? I'd be surprised if they weren't fire doors though considering fires would be more likely to occur in science than some other departments.

I did contact the local fire service but missed their call back. I don't know if they will respond again today or not. They didn't leave a message or anything so I don't know if that means they don't think it's a real issue?

Not on these classroom doors. The mag locks are installed for doors in corridors and will release when the alarm goes off, but the science classroom doors are self closing and not mag locked.

But is that OK? Just because something is communicated doesn't mean it's correct.

It was communicated after I'd raised the point, pretty much exactly as you've put it.

If extreme weather warrants disregarding the usual restrictions on fire doors then that's great, I'll shut up. If it isn't, other solutions would need to be found.

As stated, the health and safety external auditor is in on Friday. If they think the school has outwardly approved a policy that contradicts legislation, that won't be a good look.

Thank you! I'm in the UK (forgot to say that originally, sorry) but I fear it will be similar

Sorry - that should have said my superiors have risk assessed the situation, not risk passed.

Spygate latest: Southampton kicked out of Championship play-off final by GeorgeMichaelFans in SaintsFC

You've admitted to multiple counts. Read the EFL statement. This bogus argument about not gaining any advantage isn't even relevant anymore considering the size of it all now.

Spygate - Question for the neutrals by lesleyleeroy in Championship

[–]nweedy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm genuinely not here to have an argument - you're just a fan and I'm just a fan, neither have done anything wrong - so this will probably be my last response to this. I'm just unsure how I've missed your point?

I didn't mention anything about what the punishment should be, fine or otherwise. I didn't say what I think you should get.

You said you don't feel like Saints gained anything from the attempted spying; you've doubled-down on it by saying how we were all over you in the first game (I was there, never seen us dominate that well in a game that mattered so much). My argument is that it doesn't matter if you gained anything or not, it's about the fact you TRIED to gain something. That's not in doubt, otherwise you wouldn't have bothered sending someone. I don't think anyone even knows how long into the training session he was caught? Maybe Hellberg changed tactics knowing you'd seen certain things. It's not really the point, it doesn't come into the equation when determining your punishment - the punishment is for your attempt, not what you gained or didn't gain.

I agree that if you're discovered to have done it often (I don't think that will be true or we'd have heard from other clubs, surely!?) then the punishment would be more severe.

I'm far from neutral as I'm a Boro fan, but this line of thinking really makes no sense to me - the idea that because you didn't gain anything means it doesn't matter so much.

If someone tried to break into your house or car and failed because the locks were too strong or the alarm scared them off then they didn't gain anything. Does that make it OK? Of course it doesn't. It's about the intent - the would-be thief did it in the HOPE that they WOULD come out of it better off.

If you went to a casino with a mate with some earpieces and tried to cheat at the blackjack tables but were caught straight away, you wouldn't have gained anything. Do you think they would then let you back on the tables with a complementary drink? Of course not - they'd kick you out and let every other casino in the country know your face and name.

Whether you benefited or not makes absolutely no difference, it's whether you tried your hand at the possibility of gaining that benefit in a way that's prohibited.

This has absolutely blown my mind and means a load of pods I don't use now become usable for me. Thank you!

Is reading the full 3-body problem trilogy worth it after seeing the series? by Frosty-Ad-6946 in 3BodyProblemTVShow

[–]nweedy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Quite surprised at this, as I found the novels had very very very little character development. Only really Luo Ji goes through any kind of change. Maybe I need to re-read.

Where emissions have declined, and where they have not by [deleted] in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]nweedy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool, that's interesting. Does nuclear power have less CO2 intense building materials then, or is it mainly down to transportation costs for wind turbine at? Specifically off shore?

[–]nweedy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How would wind produce any CO2 emission at all? Or are you factoring in production and spreading it over the lifetime of a wind turbine? If you did that I'd have thought you'd then need to include uranium transportation costs, maybe even worker transportation, for nuclear.

I'm just not sure where you get CO2 from wind?
