BSE Skills Ltd, in partnership with BESA, has been contracted to research and develop a suite of technical National Occupational Standards (NOS) for those whose role includes working on fire dampers and smoke control dampers across the UK.

The following draft NOS have been developed by a team of UK industry experts, including employers, trade associations, unions and other key UK stakeholders, to capture the relevant technical competences:

Ref.Title
BSEFSD01Develop, test and agree building services engineering project designs
BSEFSD02Install and test fire dampers and smoke control dampers
BSEFSD03Inspect and test fire dampers and smoke control dampers
BSEFSD04Commission fire dampers and smoke control dampers
BSEFSD05Identify and rectify faults in fire dampers and smoke control dampers
BSEFSD06Maintain fire dampers and smoke control dampers

Taking part in this important consultation is quick and easy – just follow these three simple steps:

  • STEP 1: Download and read the document which contains both the Consultation Framework
    and Draft NOS HERE

    • Section 3: anything further which is not accommodated elsewhere.
