Stay safe in very hot weather

Very hot weather is expected for the next few days. A red heat-health alert (the highest level) is in place for London on Wednesday and Thursday.  

Hot weather can be dangerous and can cause serious illness. Stay safe and look out for others who may be particularly vulnerable to the heat. Read advice on GOV.UK

Cool spaces

There are local cool spaces that are free and open to everyone. Visit them to rest, drink water and stay cool. Find a cool space near you

  • a certificate confirming the examination, within the last 12 months, of all fixed and portable electrical equipment used in giving special treatments or used for cleaning/sterilising 
  • a current certificate confirming that the installation and battery are in full working order, if the premises has a system of escape/emergency lighting 
  • a current certificate confirming that the installation complies with British Standard 5839, Part 1, if the premises has a fire alarm system 
  • fire safety certificate 
  • fire risk assessment.

Please note, the certificates listed above must be issued by a 'competent person', for example, a member of the National Inspection Council for Electrical Installation Contracting (NICEIC) or the Electrical Contractors' Association (ECA).
