The FPA launches new fire safety Policy Manifesto. For decades the Fire Protection Association has worked to reduce risks and improve fire safety in UK buildings, sharing fire safety guidance and information with government, industry, insurers, our members, and the wider public. Our objective is to protect people, property, and the environment in the UK whilst enabling innovation and economic growth in the construction and property sectors without compromising fire safety. However, all too often the reforms that we would like to see brought in for the fire safety and built environment sector do not materialise. With the election of this new government and the upcoming release of the Grenfell Tower Inquiry Phase 2 Report, the FPA think the barriers to change have now been removed and call upon the government to act. Read our Policy Manifesto below. #FireSafety #FireProtection #FPA

The Fire Protection Association launches new fire safety policy manifesto https://lnkd.in/gxDmdWi5 Dr Justin Maltby-Smith, Group Managing Director of BAFE Fire Safety Register and FireQual comments: “BAFE and FireQual fully support the work of the Fire Protection Association and their new fire safety policy manifesto. We are understandably very focused on the element of competency, where organisations should be appropriately Third-Party Certificated via a UKAS Accredited Certification Body to clearly evidence their capability to deliver specific works. This is of course vital when it comes to Fire Risk Assessment, which the FPA have targeted as a key policy area for attention.” #FireSafety #FireRiskAssessment #UKAS #ThirdPartyCertification #BAFE #BAFESP205 #SP205 #DontJustSpecifyVerify
