As its membership grows, the organisation is sending a message to the fire safety industry supply chain – think about your duty of care and your moral responsibility.
Gavin Skelly, Fire Aware CEO, said: “We are receiving a lot of positive feedback from the supply chain at all levels from large organisations to smaller businesses. They all want to play their part and we are asking all of those working this industry to think about their duty of care and what that means.
“We should all be following the new legislation including the new Building Safety Act as a minimum level. Our standards go beyond that and address the issues of best practice. Ultimately, we are all protecting people’s lives.
“The buildings we work on and the protection we install in all its different forms mean we are meeting our obligations. This is more than a job. Working in this industry is a vocation and should not be underestimated.”
Fire Aware members can provide training courses relating to fire safety and management including legislation for designers, main contractors, domestic trades, material suppliers, building management, hotel and leisure, commercial and private landlords and local authorities.
The expanding industry body offers membership to all those working in the fire safety industry supply chain including designers, developers, asset owners, managers and other stakeholders.
It aims to change the culture of the built environment sector by introducing a moral code of conduct via a series of charters designed to influence how member companies behave in upholding their duty of care.
Fire Aware is a recognised membership body serving the built environment and related sectors with a common aim to work and trade responsibly to all best practice standards in the interests of the safety of the general public.
