Fire Aware Charters
This charter is aimed specifically at those who wish to support the Fire Aware organisation from a personal perspective and does not represent Fire Aware membership of a corporate entity.
This Charter is designed to demonstrate a personal view supporting the promotion of moral accountability within fire safety delivery and management. This charter can be used by those who are employed by companies who have not signed up corporately to Fire Aware but who as an individual want to show their support for what the organisation stands for.
Those signing up to this charter are permitted to use the Fire Aware post nominal Affiliate Fire Aware (aFA) and, to the best of their abilities, will uphold the following principle’s of the Affiliate Charter in the course of their professional duties.
The purpose of this charter is to promote awareness of the importance of diligent and responsible fire safety design installation and management. The post nominal aFA is to be used to identify the affiliate’s commitment to improving the safety of the built environment by promoting their personal view that public safety must be upheld without compromise.
The affiliate can use the Fire Aware Certificate of Affiliation to demonstrate this to their peers, employers, and the general public which spreads awareness of the importance of responsible fire safety design, delivery and management.
The affiliate will be listed on the Fire Aware Affiliation Scheme page which identifies further their association with the organisation.
