The Institute of Fire Safety Managers was formed in 1993 as an organisation that would provide a professional ‘haven’ for those people who were involved directly with fire safety management in industry and commerce. Up to that point, there was no real professional institute, organisation or association that leant primarily towards this speciality and that could cater for those coming into this arm of the profession. On top of that there was a push in the industry, especially via the UK based Fire Protection Association (FPA, to provide a practical as well as an academic base to the industry by providing a recognisable diploma in fire safety. This they did with the FPA Diploma in Fire Prevention followed quickly by the Confederation of European Fire Protection Associations (CFPA) European Diploma in Fire Prevention which is a recognised qualification throughout Europe. | |

Membership of the Institute was initially based around these qualifications although previous Constitutional amendments mean that those people who are working in the sphere of fire safety management in all its forms and guises can apply to join at either one of the three levels of membership grade i.e. Student (SIFSM), Associate (AIFSM) and Member (MIFSM). There is also a Fellow grade by election to those persons who has made an outstanding contribution in furthering the aims and objectives of the Institute. The grade system is progressive and is set to recognise both the academic achievement of the individual member as well as the different levels at which they will be operating at within the world of fire safety management. Since our acceptance as a Company the Institute has formalised our Constitution into Memorandum and Articles of Association. These can be found on this website. Disciplinary Procedures, Code of Ethics and Rules and Regulations can also be accessed on the website |

The aims and objectives of the Institute can be summarised by stating that it is there to facilitate and represent the views and aspirations of members, and to liaise, encourage and exchange the flow of information, ideas and concepts of fire safety management. In this respect, the membership of the Institute has risen over the past few years and because of this, it is now ready to respond both to individual members and the industry’s needs in a more positive and high profile way.
