Expert industry training provider, Exova BM TRADA, will be re-running its popular free Fire Protection Measures training programme during 2016. 

The format includes a number of short seminars over a half day which provides participants with critical guidance on how to meet the requirements of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (RRFSO).

With service providers from a range of sectors needing to comply with RRFSO, the course covers why RRFSO matters and what it means for the responsible person; the fire risk assessment and what needs to be considered; the importance of having a competent fire risk assessor; the role of third party certification and the enforcing officer; and the legal obligations of the fire risk assessor.

The course will run on three dates throughout the year: 28 April at The Building Centre, London; 12 July at Sheffield Hallam University, Sheffield; and 1 November at the Watershed, Bristol with breakfast provided.

The panel of experts providing the training are from senior roles across the fire safety profession, all with first-hand knowledge and experience of fire protection measures:

Simon Bailey is a senior fire protection consultant with extensive experience in assessment, testing and site surveys

Niall Rowan is the Association for Specialist Fire Protection’s technical officer and has over 30 years’ experience

Steve Skarratt heads the Fire Service College’s protection and prevention training

Nick Coombe draws on 32 years’ service at the London Fire Brigade and acts as the Chief Fire Officers Association’s enforcement lead officer

Carl May-Smith is a barrister with in-depth legal experience on RRFSO having advised fire authorities and other public bodies on the order.

Exova BM TRADA runs additional courses throughout the year which can be offered in-house or within a client’s premises. Exova BM TRADA also provides management systems courses and general management training.
