Managing Director Fire Safe Europe 03 About Fire Safe Europe 04 What You’ll Do 06 Recruitment Process Fire Safe Europe (FSEU) is the first European Association advocating for fire safety in buildings with an active Community of 600+ fire experts. Their mission is to improve fire safety in buildings for people and society. Fires in buildings are bigger, more unpredictable and more dangerous than ever before, and many of the current regulatory requirements around fire safety in buildings are not providing an adequate level of fire protection for European citizens. Fire Safe Europe works constantly to change this status quo by working with experts, policy and decision makers to ensure that people and communities across Europe are safe from fire in every building they spend time in. Their work covers relevant EU policy issues including: Buildings Sustainability, Construction Product Regulation, Facades, FIEP, Fire Safety Engineering and Smoke Toxicity. Fire Safe Europe is the centre for expertise, networking and resources on fire safety in buildings. FSEU’s European Fire Safety Community offers a permanent place for fire safety stakeholders to connect, pool knowledge and work collaboratively on solutions to improve fire safety in buildings. The Community is working on the most ambitious project: The Fire Safety Rating Scheme in Buildings. The project is organised around four topics which are cornerstones of a holistic and accessible fire safety assessment for buildings: data collection & analysis, sustainability, social justice and model fire safety assessment. Today, Fire Safe Europe members are researchers, architects, associations, fire engineers, firefighters, and companies manufacturing and supplying cables, concrete, ceilings, fire protection equipment, flame retardants, insulation, sealants and more. Together they are working to make Europe fire safe.
