Title: PAS7 - Training
Post by: hammer1 on July 18, 2017, 03:10:08 PM

Afternoon all

Are there any training providers about to assist in the implementation of PAS7 or a course to inform/train a corporate organisation in implementing PAS7 so to be ready for a UKAS type accreditation in the future?

I am aware of a pilot scheme in 2015, anyone know how far developed this is?

Cheers

Have a chat with Jamie Davis at BB7. They can provide exactly what you are looking for.

Mott MacDonald are the only accreditation provider at the moment I believe.

Don't know of anyone, but as BB7 sponsored PAS 7 I guess they'd oblige if asked!?

BTW, a little birdie tells me that they're intending converting the PAS into a BS in the fairly near future - can only be a good thing as more people will be inclined to use it.

Just bear in mind that a PAS 7 compliant management systems just means that they have a benchmark level of fire safety management in place... doesn't necessarily mean that the company's fire risk is low (has caused confusion in the past).
