IFE welcomes benchmark for fire risk assessment

The IFE welcomes the Industry Benchmark Standard for Fire Risk Assessment which was published today by the Fire Sector Federation (FSF).

The IFE has reviewed the standard and is supportive of its content which will become central to our own fire risk assessor registration process moving forward.

Steve Hamm, IFE Chief Executive, said: “The FSF’s benchmark aims to raise the professional status of the valuable work fire risk assessors undertake and we echo the Federation’s commitment to promoting competency.

“A number of our own members have been involved in the competency steering group work tasked with developing the principles that underpin this standard, and we have aligned our internal processes to ensure that future applicants to join the IFE Fire Risk Assessor Register will be assessed in line this newly launched benchmark standard.

“This will enable those seeking a competent fire risk assessor to benefit from the assurance provided by the rigorous IFE registration processes.”

Driving advantage

As the global professional body for the fire sector, the IFE is committed to shaping a future world that is safer from fire. Our fire risk assessor’s register is a great example of this work.

The register is not just designed to benefit those seeking a fire risk assessment; it provides our member network with independent validation of their services and a marketing tool to support opportunities for business. It is one of a number of initiatives developed by the IFE to help give members the platform, resources or opportunity to drive advantage within increasingly competitive markets.
