Facility security staff are positioned to play an integral role in mitigating risks and protecting people and property from fire and related hazards. NFPA 601, Standard for Security Services in Fire Loss Prevention, provides comprehensive requirements for determining and confirming the qualifications and readiness of personnel in these critical positions.

The standard covers everything from the duties and fire protection functions of security officers to reporting and communications, selection and conduct, and training and site-specific knowledge, including the following three categories of applicable fire loss prevention responsibilities:

• Property protection, including intervals with no other personnel or representation of management on site
• Controlling access and means of egress entering and inside the protected property
• Overseeing procedures for the organized execution of a broad range of security operations and functions

Fire, explosion, and related dangers are among the most significant risks to occupant and facility safety, so it’s critical that users and enforcers be up to date with modern security methods, terminology, and techniques. Provide the most relevant resource for assisting in determining whether personnel are prepared to perform their duties proficiently with NFPA 601, Standard for Security Services in Fire Loss Prevention.
