What Does a Fire Safety Manager Do?
A fire safety manager is responsible for safeguarding people’s lives and properties by planning, formulating, implementing, and supervising fire safety plans that take care of specific fire and life safety systems.
The line of work of a fire safety manager might have to do with working for area councils, cities, or even private establishments that may require a well-groomed manager to take care of fire safety for a particular set of properties.
In a bid to effectively carry out his/her job description, the fire safety manager works hand-in-hand with a lot of persons and in some cases, also supervises their activities.
Put differently, a fire safety managers have the responsibility to direct the activities of employees as well as provide necessary information for employees so as to make sure they understand their job functions and duties (this is usually in the process of carrying out the fire safety mission).
It is part of the role of the fire safety manager to make sure that all fire and life safety equipment are where they are meant to be at all times (within all properties/buildings).
He/she also ensures that all fire protection systems like smoke detectors, fire alarms, sprinklers, etc. are all installed properly and also functional at all times.
The City of Leeds is a city and metropolitan borough in West Yorkshire, England. The metropolitan borough includes the administrative centre of Leeds and the towns of Farsley, Garforth, Guiseley, Horsforth, Morley, Otley, Pudsey, Rothwell, Wetherby and Yeadon.[4] It has a population of 793,139 (mid-2019 est.), making it technically the second largest city in England by population behind Birmingham, since London is not a single local government entity. It is governed by Leeds City Council.
The current city boundaries were set on 1 April 1974 by the provisions of the Local Government Act 1972, as part a reform of local government in England. The city is a merger of eleven former local government districts; the unitary City and County Borough of Leeds combined with the municipal boroughs of Morley and Pudsey, the urban districts of Aireborough, Garforth, Horsforth, Otley and Rothwell, and parts of the rural districts of Tadcaster, Wharfedale and Wetherby from the West Riding of Yorkshire.
For its first 12 years the city had a two-tier system of local government; Leeds City Council shared power with West Yorkshire County Council. Since the Local Government Act 1985 Leeds City Council has effectively been a unitary authority, serving as the sole executive, deliberative and legislative body responsible for local policy, setting council tax, and allocating budget in the city, and is a member of the Leeds City Region Partnership. The City of Leeds is divided into 31 civil parishes and a single unparished area.
