Fire Safety

Fire Safety affects the quality of life not only in housing but also through social infrastructure

Fire Safety is at the heart of building construction and renovation. The new Energy Performance in Buildings Directive will boost the renovation of the European building stock and offer the unmissable opportunity to integrate fire safety measures to better protect citizens in case of fire. 

Fire Safety affects the quality of life not only in housing but also through social infrastructure: schools, hospitals, shopping centers, theatres, exhibition centers, etc. 

new additional skills

Due to the evolution of technology, it is possible for a building to not only deliver the services the occupants need, but to do this while allowing a more efficient management of the buildings, and increasing the energy savings over the life of the building.

However, this also demands some new additional skills in the building sector. 

Addressing the talent gap

Nowadays, enlisting talent for fire safety has become a challenge, but while the scarcity of skilled workforce is expected to continue in the years ahead, job opportunities in the fire safety sector are expected to grow. 

Now more than ever the fire safety sector needs to attract talent to thrive, and achieve the ambitious objectives of the Renovation Wave, and the Digital Transition in Europe.
