Fire Protection Association (FPA) Launches New And Improved Membership Scheme

Thanks to member feedback, the new membership scheme offers FPA members additional benefits such as access to the Business Property and Protection Portal which produces a risk report for any business type in the UK, the Cladding Compliance Toolkit created by RISC Authority, which aims to help users understand the complex legislative fire safety requirements of external building cladding systems, and easier access to resources such as our popular Assembly Point Podcast.

Launch of a CPD Record Tool

The new scheme also sees the launch of a brand new CPD Record Tool enabling members to keep track of their CPD hours, which they can save digitally or download via a PDF. Furthermore, members can look forward to an updated FPA member certificate and logo for inclusion in their marketing materials to demonstrate their professional interest in fire safety.
