Trafford housing Trust provide affordable homes for over 18,000 people near Manchester. With 8 high rise residential blocks within their building stock, they were looking to improve the information available to the attending fire & rescue service should an emergency occur.
Janine Davies, Building Safety Co-ordinator for the trust says;
“We had some information plaques installed in our HRRB’s, but we felt these could be improved to offer more information. The Premises Information Plate which QDOS have developed was just what we were looking for. A simplified building plan which includes all the fire safety services, on a clear and prominent yellow sign was perfect for our needs.”
QDOS Managing Director, Damian Linley added;
“Following the Grenfell Phase 1 report, we acted quickly to develop our offering for the exterior of high rise properties. It was important to add an indicative internal layout, allowing the attending firefighters to quickly understand the layout of the building without having to request or wait for plans to arrive. I am delighted we’ve been able to help Janine and Trafford Housing Trust update their buildings so swiftly.”
The plates, with approval from their local fire service, have now been installed on all of Trafford Housing Trust’s high-rise residential properties.
