• Safety being a pre-requisite for the entire gamut of activities carried out during the initial phases of a new project, the companies hire a huge number of properly qualified and practically trained hands at the levels of execution, supervision, higher management and even in design. Even in the organizations where the management thinking is stagnant at a conservative level of yester years, the HR has no option but to recruit and position these Fire & Safety personnel in order to comply with the statutory provisions under the law. Once these personnel gain entry to the organization, their contribution speaks for itself and soon the management starts noticing the difference they made. Their professional worth gains practical legitimacy and the snowballing commences. What started as a modest cell of two or three soon expands to a full fledged functional department having visibility across the organization. In the progressive organizations today, no progress review meeting or problem solving forum can make meaningful transactions without the presence of a Fire & Safety representative. But this is so only as long as the professional is worthy of his qualifications having learnt his subject thoroughly and having acquired the related skills first hand. And that is why you have got to be careful, discerning and choosy in selecting the institute offering such a professional course.
