II Aspire has been working with Skills for Security and other professionals across the fire industry, to review the National Occupational Standards in Mechanical Fire Protection.

​The National Occupational Standards in Mechanical Fire Protection 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, and fire mains.

Consultations on the National Occupational Standards

They are now consulting 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, in order to carry out their role. They are, therefore, keen to hear the views of as many Mechanical Fire Protection practitioners as possible, so as to make sure the content is relevant and fit for purpose.

The online consultation should take about 15 minutes to complete. The consultation will be running until 5 pm on February 25, 2022.
