  • Description

    Help improve fire and life safety and ensure the qualifications of personnel by referencing the latest job performance requirements (JPRs) for fire prevention program positions.

    NFPA® 1030, Standard for Professional Qualifications for Fire Prevention Program Positions, provides minimum core and mission-specific JPRs for individuals in these roles. The new first edition is vital for fire service personnel or anyone involved with their training, hiring, or evaluation. As part of the NFPA Emergency Response and Responder Safety Document Consolidation Plan, NFPA 1030 consolidates NFPA 1031, Standard for Professional Qualifications for Fire Inspector and Plan Examiner; NFPA 1035, Standard on Fire and Life Safety Educator, Public Information Officer, Youth Firesetter Intervention Specialist, and Youth Firesetter Program Manager Professional Qualifications; and NFPA 1037, Standard on Fire Marshal Professional Qualifications.

    Changes to incorporated requirements in the first-time 2024 edition include:

    • Key terms unified into single definitions
    • Edited and expanded fire marshal skills to reflect the activities of a fire marshal more accurately and comprehensively
    • Development of the position of first responder inspector in response to a task analysis. This change impacts position titles of other roles throughout the NFPA 1031 chapters (including the complete removal of Fire Inspector III), and duties have been reviewed and consolidated to align with the revised positions
    • Levels for plan examiner consolidated into a single position
    • Revisions to NFPA 1035 chapters to reflect an effort for prevention professionals to be more inclusive and culturally competent in their roles. This includes considering the behavioral and mental health aspects of youth firesetting prevention and intervention
    • Revisions to reflect new and emerging technologies, including the use of social media platforms and other electronic communications
