lottabull 77 Report post Posted November 29, 2016 Just had an inspection done and failed. Just because I don't have any smoke alarms or fire extinguishers. Can anyone tell me when this rule came in? Next minute, all greyhounds will have to pass a "fire drill". They brought this rule in quick. Why didn't they bring in drug testing as quick, if not quicker?

JETSUN 100 Report post Posted November 30, 2016 (a) The kennel facility must be reasonably secure to prevent access by unauthorised people. (b) Each kennel must be fitted with a secure closing devise that cannot be opened by greyhounds with double barriers (a secure area outside the immediate kennels) recommended to prevent the escape of greyhounds. (c) Provision for fire fighting equipment must be readily available and an emergency exit plan as required. (d) All potential poisons and harmful substances, whether in storage or use, must be kept secure and out of reach of greyhounds. (e) Prescribed veterinary products must be kept secure with all treatments administered recorded for each greyhound. (f) Appropriate fire fighting equipment must be readily available and staff trained and practised in its use. (g) Emergency procedures should be developed for the safe evacuation of both humans and greyhounds from a kennel block in case of emergency. Not in the rules but in the Code of Welfare.
