If you\u2019ve recently developed a new premise, you should consider hiring a Fire Safety Manager (FSM). Fire Safety Managers are professionals who help you maintain a high level of standards when it comes to fire safety facilities within a building. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
They will ensure that everything is in place, working effectively, whilst educating tenants on the importance of fire safety. As you read on, you will discover that appointing a Fire Safety Manager is definitely beneficial for you and your building occupants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To keep their skills up to date, the Fire Safety Manager course under the Continual Professional Development (CPD) scheme ensures that only qualified professionals are performing the inspection for your building. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let\u2019s discuss the reasons why you should appoint a Fire Safety Manager. Firstly, building owners are required by the law to hire a Fire Safety Manager within 90 days after receiving a certificate of completion, or an occupation permit.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If things don\u2019t work out with your existing Fire Safety Manager, you are allowed to terminate your contract with them; however, a new replacement must be hired within 14 days. Failure to comply with these requirements will result in a hefty fine or even jail time.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
