Yn sgil pedwerydd tân yng nghyfleuster ailgylchu Site Serv yn Llandw, a wnaiff Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet nodi pa gamau atal tân sydd wedi cael eu gweithredu/a gaiff eu gweithredu i atal tân yn y dyfodol?
The current incident at the facility operated by SiteServ Recycling (SW) Limited is at premises known as Hangars A & B, Triple Crown House, Llantwit Major Road, Llandow. The previous fires were at different permitted sites operated by a different legal entity SiteServ Ltd.
Natural Resources Wales (NRW) requested SiteServ Recycling (SW) Ltd to include a fire prevention plan as part of their written management statement. NRW expect the operator to comply with the plan and can take enforcement action if necessary.
NRW’s main focus at the moment is working closely with South Wales Fire and Rescue Service, Public Health Wales and Vale of Glamorgan Council to manage the effects of the blaze at the site. They have temporarily suspended part of the Environmental Permit relating to the importation of waste into the fire-affected area of the facility. Once the situation is under control, NRW will undertake a full review of the incident and assess whether any further actions are needed to address the risks posed by the operation. The investigation will consider what lessons can be learned and shared at other permitted facilities.
Welsh Government provided additional funding (2015/16) to support NRW in raising awareness of the Fire Prevention and Mitigation guidance. This included employing a secondee from the Fire and Rescue Service to deliver a prioritised operational work programme at sites identified as high risk and included a series of training events for NRW and Fire officers and operators of permitted waste facilities. SiteServ Recycling (SW) Ltd were invited to the training but did not attend.
