At 1SC we believe we should include all stakeholders in all decision making, thus providing a platform for all to be heard.

Improved teamwork: It is common knowledge that people who get on well with each other are more likely to work well together in a security environment, its improves stakeholder morale across the board: The development of good relationships in the workplace have the potential to improve the mood of employees, making them subsequently more effective, after all, you want effective security personnel

Trust, teamwork, communication and respect are keys to effective working relationships.

What sets us apart from our competitors within Security?  Well, we are still a family owned Ltd Company who work solely in the UK London.  We are purely providers of Security Services and proud to be one of the first SIA ACS companies when it came into effect in 2001.  Our competitors state services that they think they can provide whilst we only state what we do provide on a daily basis for our clients.

From my last blog: Tuesday 29/10/2019 it’s now obvious the main focus and anger from survivors and The Grenfell United Group is focussed on those who were brave enough to attend a raging fire, place their own lives in danger and enter a burning building.  Whilst I understand their anger that is, I empathise, their focus and anger should be directed at those responsible for the Tower Block not at those brave men and women who are suffering today who also risked their lives to save the lives of people they didn’t know, the residents of Grenfell.

The report says some of the 72 people who were killed could have been saved if the building was evacuated sooner.  The LFB said it was "disappointed" by some of the criticism of individuals, me too!

The inquiry, which examined what happened on the night of 14 June 2017, concluded that "many more lives" could have been saved if the advice to residents to "stay put" had been abandoned earlier than 02:35 BST.  It said London Fire Brigade's preparations for such a fire were "gravely inadequate". Whilst this might be true to some extent who was responsible for the maintenance of the building and the fact the fire was able to enter the building that should have been sealed from fire?

The brigade's commissioner Dany Cotton, who is due to retire in April 2020, expressed her "deepest sorrow" that firefighters had not been able to save those who died, but said the inquiry had no expert evidence to support its conclusion about evacuating the tower.  It would not have been possible or safe to evacuate residents through a "narrow, smoke-clogged stairwell" with the number of firefighters who would have been available for that task said Matt Wrack, general secretary of the Fire Brigades Union.

On the night of 14 June 2017 in the early hours 72 tenants died in a tower block fire which today, still rages on.  It seems now it’s the fault of the fire brigade.  A leaked report accuses the London Fire Brigade of “serious shortcomings” and said the failure to evacuate the building sooner meant fewer lives were saved, whilst this may be true it’s not the full story is it.  The focus is now firmly on London fire commissioner Dany Cotton for saying she would not have done anything differently in her shoes would you? So, what’s changed as of today Oct 2019?

As a contractor working for RBKC for some 17 years we’ve seen it all, overcrowding of flats, poor management, poor housekeeping, bad decision making and a council sitting back and letting others take the blame for what is in fact their responsibility, after all they are the management team aren’t, they?  The Tenant Management Organisation (TMO) that once managed these tower blocks has now been taken over by RKBC but what is different today, nothing at all it seems, it’s the same mismanaged organisation with a different name, the same poor management leading teams of poor managers who possess a lack of knowledge, empathy and understanding of their roles which may be a leading factor to the disaster.

The policy: ‘Stay put’ is the name of a policy in which emergency services tell residents to stay in their home and await rescue when there is a fire.
