Is Your Company Legally Compliant?
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order (FSO) replaces previous legislation and applies to the vast majority of UK business premises.

The main thrust of the changes is to place responsibility very clearly with the ‘Responsible Person’ to ensure the safety of the people in the workplace for which they are responsible. The Responsible Person is whoever owns the premises or controls the activities within it. It can be more than one person in shared premises.

“Employers have a legal responsibility to make sure their employees and visitors are safe in their premises through compliance with these Fire Regulations.”

Manufacturing Supply Chains at Full Stretch

After scaling back production during the downturn, manufacturing suppliers are now struggling to meet increasing demand. Almost 40% of buying professionals in the SM100 think supplier capacity is insufficient to cope with increased demand post-recession.

Last month the automotive giant Nissan temporarily stopped some production lines in Japan because of delays to electronic parts from Hitachi, which is in turn, dependent on integrated circuits (ICs) from STMicroelectronics. Production eventually restarted after a three-day halt.

Hitachi said in a statement that the firm had taken steps to resolve the issue: “Hitachi is in a tight demand-supply balance of IC for engine control units. This caused a supply shortage for Nissan.”

Although STMicroelectronics would not comment on specific issues at Hitachi, a spokeswoman said: “The recovery of the automotive business after the crisis is taking place at a faster rate than expected and the whole automotive electronics supply chain is currently under pressure to keep up with the market’s demand.”
