Facilities Life Safety Director Professional Qualifications

NFPA 1082 Standard for Facilities Fire and Life Safety Director Professional Qualifications identifies the minimum job performance requirements for Building Fire and Life Safety Directors.  It is a relatively new title (first edition 2019) that sets minimum standards for hiring criteria and job performance.

FREE ACCESS: NFPA 1082

This title adds dimension and technical specifics that should be known to hiring committees in all education communities as the list of sample job descriptions indicate:

 Director of Campus Safety Gustavus University

Executive Director for Campus and Public Safety Boise State University

Assistant Director Campus Safety College of the Canyons

NFPA 1082 job requirements, and the requirements of all NFPA titles, may be implied in the “familiar with all applicable codes and standards” general-purpose language.  The two main First Draft committees met online in July and November produced provisional revisions in the link below:
