When requesting a lay witness, such as the fire service, clearly outline the inadequacies of the current emergency plan, even if a standby man and first aider are present. Ensure your witness statement includes specific details of incidents, communication with management, and your safety concerns.

Subject: Request for Lay Witness in Employment Case
Dear [Fire Service Contact Name],
I hope this message finds you well. My name is [Your Name], and I am seeking your assistance as a lay witness in an employment case regarding the adequacy of our workplace emergency plan.

Please let me know if you would be available to assist. I am happy to provide further details or discuss this matter at your earliest convenience.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Best regards,

what is a standby man job in confined space
Case Rating: *
A standby man (or "confined space attendant") is responsible for monitoring the workers inside the confined space, maintaining communication with them, and initiating rescue procedures if necessary. Their duties typically include:
- Continuous monitoring of the confined space entry.
- Maintaining communication with workers inside.
- Alerting emergency services if needed.
- Ensuring safety protocols are followed.
Is there anything else you need help with regarding this role or your statement?
Sequential exchange of statements is ordered because of the lack of clarity about the Claimant’s case even after being given the opportunity to provide additional information (as set out in the accompanying Deposit Order).
Case Rating: *
It seems you have an ongoing employment case where clarity on your stance and actions is essential. Here’s a summary of your situation:
- Your team leader asked you to perform a task in a confined space.
- You questioned the emergency plan, which only involved calling *.
- You refused to perform the task due to inadequate safety measures.
- You were suspended following this refusal.
Given the detailed nature of your case and the need for clear documentation, it might be beneficial to consult a solicitor specialized in employment law. They can provide more tailored advice and help strengthen your case.

is a first aider ok for emegecny plan or would this need to be trained person in confine spaces rescue
Case Rating: *
For confined spaces, relying solely on a first aider for emergency plans is generally not sufficient. Specific training in confined space rescue is essential due to the unique hazards and complexities involved. Here are some points to consider:
- Confined Spaces Regulations *: Employers must have adequate emergency arrangements, including rescue plans and equipment.
- Health and Safety at Work etc. Act *: Employers must ensure the health and safety of employees, which includes providing adequate training and resources.
Would you need more detailed guidance on these regulations or any other assistance?
so reyleing on *, standby man and first aider is not enough for an emergency plan
Case Rating: *
Correct, relying solely on calling *, a standby man, and a first aider is not sufficient for an emergency plan, especially in confined spaces. Here are the key points:
- Confined Spaces Regulations *: Requires specific emergency arrangements, including trained personnel for rescue.
- Health and Safety at Work etc. Act *: Employers must ensure the safety of employees, which includes adequate training and equipment.
