Sponsored by the New Jersey City University Fire Science Department.

Jersey City ordinance # 01-088 requires that one employee shall be designated as “Fire Safety Manager,” and that one or more employee’s be designated as “Deputy Fire Safety Manager” for all high rise buildings. To be eligible to work in the capacity of a Fire Safety Manager in the City of Jersey City, individuals must successfully complete an approved program, and subsequently earn a passing grade on the Jersey City Fire Safety Manager Certification Examination.

The Fire Safety Manager Program is specifically designed to provide students with the information, and education necessary to succeed with the Jersey City Fire Safety Manager Certification Examination. The course instruction staff includes certified and experienced instructors from building code enforcement, security, and several branches of emergency service.

Students of our enhanced Fire Safety Manager Program will receive a specialized course workbook, reference manual, and templates of recommended and required forms, log sheets and reports. Additionally, all students will receive a laminated emergency check list for immediate use at the emergency command post location in their building.
