Don't Risk Your Business Reputation
IFEDA, The Independent Fire Engineering and Distributors Association, continues to champion for 3rd party accreditation for this important aspect of fire safety. Clear precise guidelines allowing fire risk assessors to demonstrate their expertise, experience and competence would undoubtedly offer consistency and re-assurance throughout the fire safety industry.
Colin Payne, Chairman of IFEDA says: “It is a sobering thought for anyone who undertakes fire risk assessments that the outcome could result in a criminal record. IFEDA is committed to raising standards within the fire industry and we continue to push for 3rd party accreditation; this unfortunate incident proves that such 3rd party accreditation can’t come quickly enough.”
A comprehensive written fire risk assessment enables businesses to act upon any shortfalls, and crucially provides written documentation that this essential part of fire safety planning has been undertaken. Payne continues: “Any fire protection company who undertakes fire risk assessment, or uses a sub-contractor to do so, must look at the competency of the individuals providing them.”
IFEDA, as an independent trade association, promotes quality standards and procedures within the fire safety industry.
