Email Fire Service Request
Summary
In employment law cases, its crucial to document all interactions and safety concerns. 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. Consulting a solicitor specializing in employment law can provide further guidance. If you need to contact local services, like the West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service, ensure you have the correct contact details and prepare your communication thoroughly.Full Conversation

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.

Your expertise and testimony regarding standard emergency protocols and the adequacy of such a plan would greatly support my case.
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,

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?

Case Rating: *
Yes, even if it is an open vessel but classified as a confined space due to having only one door for entry and exit, the same regulations apply. Adequate emergency arrangements, including trained rescue personnel, are essential.
