Report summary

Mr Tomas Ceida died in hospital after a fire at a site being used as a nightclub, where construction work was underway and staff and operatives sometimes slept overnight. The jury identified concerns including the unsuitable acoustic wall, unsafe and inadequately supervised hot works, and failures to agree and communicate fire-safety responsibilities, provide adequate fire alerts, conduct an orderly evacuation, and complete adequate fire-risk assessments. The coroner also raised concerns about regulatory follow-up, communication between authorities, documentation of contractor roles, and public and contractor awareness of fire-safety duties.

PFD Monitor interpretation
Lack of public and future contractor awareness of fire precaution processes and duties
Wider context from the report
“• It is understood that changes in the law and duties of securing general fire precautions has changed since the fire. It is not clear that the public and future contractors are necessarily aware of the processes and duties. The coroner is concerned whether there is a lack of public awareness, which may be a risk to future deaths. This is brought to the attention of the HSE and LFB as enforcement authorities. ”
