Steel Framed Systems Competency Framework

i

The Steel Frame System (SFS) Competency Framework provides a structured and standardised approach to developing and maintaining the skills of installers in the SFS sector. It responds to the growing need for safe, high-quality installations and supports the development of professionals who meet recognised industry standards.

The framework sets out the essential competencies required for SFS work, including installation, health and safety, training and qualifications, and re-validation requirements. It is designed to guide training programmes, qualifications, employers, workers, and regulatory bodies in creating a consistent and accountable approach to competency.

By establishing this framework, the industry can reduce risks, enhance building performance, and ensure compliance with relevant regulations and standards.
