// The Fire Safety Competence Gap · BAFE / FIA / NSI
Do you know if your fire maintainer is competent?
Confidence is not the same as evidence. The joint report exposes a gap between understanding fire-safety duties and checking the competence of the people appointed to fulfil them.
- 85%
- of Responsible Persons claim to be fully aware of their legal responsibilities.
- 55%
- correctly identify checking their fire risk assessor’s competence as a legal obligation.
- 73%
- of decision-makers don’t know who certificates their fire safety supplier, don’t know if they are certificated, or use an uncertificated supplier.
Source: BAFE, FIA & NSI, The Fire Safety Competence Gap (2026). The 55% finding specifically concerns fire risk assessors; competence checks also matter when appointing maintenance providers.
The question every FM and Responsible Person should ask
“Who certificates your work, and can I check it?”
Minerva: evidence you can verify
Independent certification provides externally assessed evidence for work within its scope. Check the current register entry and the certification relevant to your contract — not just a logo.
NSI NACOSS Gold
Independent certification for electronic security systems. For fire work, check the relevant fire-safety certification and scope separately.
Check NSI certificationBAFE registration
Minerva’s registration ID: 301687. Verify the current fire-safety schemes, scope of work and awarding certification body on the BAFE register.
