24 ASFP Industry Training Initiatives

25 ASFP Industry Training Initiatives ASFP Industry Wide Awareness Training Initiative: Purpose To develop a nationally recognised industry training scheme for passive fire protection The scheme aims to Up-skill contractors involved in the installation of passive fire protection Improve the knowledge base of those involved in the design, supply, inspection and maintenance of passive fire protection

26 ASFP Industry Training Initiatives ASFP Industry Wide Awareness Training Initiative: It targets three main occupational groups across the sector, including: New entrants to the specialist contractor workforce Contractors within allied specialist trades and within the distribution supply chain Other groups that need a greater understanding of PFP, such as site supervisors, inspectors of fire systems, and building control officers

28 ASFP Industry Training Initiatives Why is this initiative so essential? The methodology for the design and construction of buildings is changing to meet with government requirements in terms of carbon reduction and environmental sustainability Growth in the use of MMC. The importance of correctly specified and installed PFP measures in this construction type cannot be underestimated Clear disconnect in knowledge within supply chain practice in relation to required competence in the use, installation, and regulatory understanding of all aspects of the PFP process

29 ASFP Industry Training Initiatives ASFP Industry Wide Awareness Training Initiative: Requirement for all learners Underpinning knowledge 6 specific areas of study Core module Create level playing field Follow-on modules Undertake those to suit training need Remove need for repetition Cost effective Basis for wider market offering
