Critical Workers

2/5/2020

In a letter sent from James Brokenshire MP, Minister for State for Security, on the 14th April, directly to the FIA, the Government’s support for the fire safety sector was repeated.

Mr Brokenshire stated: “The Government is grateful for the sector’s continuing efforts at this challenging time… Such employees engaged in this critical task will need to continue to perform their work.” It is also made clear that the industry continues to consider “carefully” which roles are vital to services, and “what possible steps can be taken to facilitate staff working from home”.

For those who cannot, and are vital to “provide essential safety to people”, the guidance continues by detailing that they should only travel when it is safe to do so and themselves or others in their household are not symptomatic. Advice for workers needing to send their children to schools is also outlined in the letter.

The letter states: “NFCC also believes that people working on vital fire safety measures such as the installation and maintenance of sprinklers, fire alarms, waking watch and other measures also constitute key workers… We have already discussed many of these matters with Home Office and MHCLG.”
