This is a critically important accreditation.
FIRAS is a third party certification scheme for businesses that install both passive and active fire protection solutions.
B&K Fire Protection is a registered FIRAS installer company, which means we have undertaken a three stage assessment to gain certification. This encompasses the following:
Demonstrate continuing compliance with industry standards and material/product manufacturer installation instructions.
Undergo random inspections of our installation work on ongoing contracts by a registered FIRAS inspector.
Receive an annual audit of our office systems to ensure compliance with FIRAS standards is maintained.
Employ on a permanent/contract basis supervisors and operators whose technical and practical competence is
assessed by FIRAS registered inspectors in our certified trade disciplines - set out below.
Keep a register of competent employees and review regularly to ensure we maintain a workforce whose
abilities remain current with the work scope B&K Fire Protection provides.
