The National Occupational Standards (NOS) for Mechanical Fire Protection have recently been reviewed by professionals across the fire industry.
These standards relate to any non-electrical device used for fire protection such as, sprinklers; gas systems; water mist and powder; foam and chemical systems; dry and wet risers; fire mains.
Industry best practice
A consultation on the content of the National Occupational Standards to determine whether they reflect industry best practice and what someone in the role needs to know and be able to do to carry out their role is now underway.
II Aspire who are undertaking the review and consultation are keen to hear the views of as many Mechanical Fire Protection practitioners as possible to make sure the content is relevant and fit for purpose.
