Programme Highlights
Currently, a person who intends to run certain types of premises has to obtain a certificate or letter issued by the Director of Fire Services certifying that the premises concerned have complied with all relevant fire safety requirements and will not expose persons therein to any undue risk of fire, before he/she can be issued a licence or a similar instrument by the regulatory authorities.  Under the Fire Services Ordinance (Cap. 95), the Fire Services Department (“FSD”) is the only party vested with the statutory authority to issue fire safety certification for buildings or premises.

In order to facilitate business operations and optimize the use of professional human resources, the FSD will introduce a third-party fire safety certification scheme, namely the Registered Fire Engineer (“RFE”) Scheme, to leverage professional engineers and qualified persons in the market for the provision of fire safety risk assessment and certification services.

This webinar aims to introduce the RFE Scheme to members of HKIE, covering topics in relation to registration requirements, duties of RFE and regulatory mechanism.

Mr. Samuel FAN, Assistant Divisional Officer (Support)1, Fire Services Department
Mr. Tommy LOK, Senior Station Officer (Support)2, Fire Services Department
