Hello everyone, I've been invited to a job interview with my local fire and rescue service for a newly formed position as a compliance officer the role is basically to help enforce the RR(FS)O by carrying out audits and inspections, as it has been sometime since I studied the Nebosh fire safety cert I was wondering if anyone has any useful tips or pointers for me and any changes to the legislation in the last couple of years that I need to refresh myself with. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Stephen

Fire brigades have audit forms which they use for inspections etc. and they contain and explain the various articles of the RRFSO. I suggest you ask an alternative Fire service for a copy or at least a look at it SBH

What was that posting last week, about a consultant fire risk assessor being fined for a poor standard of report/assessment...

There's not been that much change over the last couple of years - just that various authorities are becoming more proactive. Depending on the remit of the role (is it targeting specific areas, such as HMO's or ocmmercial premises), I'd suggest having a read through the respective guidance books (freebies on t'internet) for starters; then refresh your memory on how you'd approach a FRA.

Most important thing though is to really brush up on what your CV/ application form says. Have answers for any potential questions you can think of, along with examples of where you've implemented anything. If you can, get someone to ask you relevant questions and make notes on the answers you give. Then read them through afterwards and work on any weak points.
