Welcome
The IOSH Fire Risk Management Group
has over 3,000 members, and caters for all health and safety
professionals whose job includes, or who have an interest in,
managing risks from fire.
Our main focus is on fire risk management and emergency
response. We host regular networking events for members in the UK
and Ireland, and have developed a certificate course for fire
risk safety. You'll find the latest sector-specific news on these
webpages.
Networking events
Regional events are planned throughout each
year to provide interesting CPD opportunities for our wider
membership in our three year networking events plan.
The theme for 2012 is 'Managing Fire
Risk in a Licensed Environment' following the high number
of fires and prosecutions involving licensed premises during
2011.
Our intention is to host events in Birmingham
in June and Manchester in October to focus upon the variety of
challenges relating to the management of fire safety in licensed
premises such as:
- management and staff training
- fire risk assessment
- fire and rescue service audit
- challenges presented by multi-occupied
premises
Further details will be posted on the group
events page once they have been finalised.
We also intend to host a webinar for our
international members in Hong Kong, Singapore and the Middle
East.
Networking events are open to members and non-members. All
events are advertised in the IOSH e-newsletter Connect, on our
webpage and on the main IOSH events webpage. We endeavour to keep
the delegate costs low by using local speakers discussing local and
regional issues.
If you or your organisation can help us by providing a suitable
venue, speaker, or by sponsoring an event, we'd be
very pleased to hear from you.
The success of our group depends on the involvement of its
wider membership. The more you take part, the greater our
achievements can be. We value your feedback and suggestions, so if
you have any comments, please contact us.
