This session was filmed at FSM Live London in March 2026. The Fire Industry Association explained how the critical importance of ensuring competency in fire safety work, emphasising that purchasing correct fire safety products is insufficient if incompetent individuals or companies install them.
Chris outlines a two-step framework for navigating compliance: first, understanding the legal framework encompassing the Fire Safety Order 2005, Fire Safety Act 2021, and Building Safety Act 2022; and second, knowing where to find competent help through third-party certification schemes like BAFE and LPCB, individual qualifications from training organisations, and membership bodies that ensure companies meet rigorous competency standards.
