Can anyone give a good indication of a suitable development track for a person about to undertake a role as Fire Safety Officer within a complex multi-hazard/process industry?

What is your development track at present?

Totally 'intervention' up until now.

Your employers will take for granted that you will have expertise to  cover the following areas

Life safety
Property Protection
Business continuity
Process fire risk.

All treated as different disciplines in the intervention business.

I would suggest NEBOSH general certificate, a fire risk assessment course, perhaps you may need a DSEAR competence depending on the industry, perhaps a sprinkler awareness course. The IFE examinations will do you no harm at all.
