Troy Collins Posted July 9, 2019 Report Share Posted July 9, 2019 I have been informed by a Council that only BM Trada trained personnel can maintain or inspect their fire doors, is this common and is BM Trada the major force in Fire Door training etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil ashdown Posted July 9, 2019 Report Share Posted July 9, 2019 Hi Troy, Since the Grenfell Tower tragedy, organisations such as councils and housing associations have been noticeably careful to try and procure fire safety related services provided by competent persons. They are generally looking for evidence of competence such as a related qualification or membership of a certification scheme. BM Trada is one such scheme but there are others and there have been instances where organisations have accepted alternatives. So its worth asking the council what other proof of competencies are acceptable to them. I should add that, there is currently no legal requirement to have a particular qualification or belong to a certification scheme to be able to work on fire doors.
