Federation publishes fire risk assessor code of practice

摘要

The code of practice, developed by industry, builds upon earlier work and then extends the expectations for fire risk assessors, including those who are undertaking work in higher fire risk buildings. The knowledge, skills, experience and behaviour to satisfy these requirements are detailed so that individuals perform at a standard to ensure fire safe buildings.The code acknowledges that improving the competence of fire risk assessors can be better assured if there is oversight of the organisation offering, through a company or scheme, individual fire risk assessor certification or assessment. Providing accreditation or validation in the UK would be either through UKAS, the national accreditation body, or through a professional engineering institution that is licensed by the UK Engineering Council (EngC).
