Nearly 9,500 buildings across Malaysia must appoint fire safety managers from April 2027, Bomba D-G says

Starting April 1, 2027, building owners of 9,451 designated sites in Malaysia will be mandated to appoint Fire Safety Managers (FSMs) and Fire Safety Officers (FSOs) in accordance with the Fire Services (Amendment) Act 2025.

This initiative, as stated by Fire and Rescue Department director-general Datuk Seri Nor Hisham Mohammad, aims to reduce the department's workload and streamline the renewal of Fire Certificates by utilizing FSM-prepared annual inspection reports.

To accommodate industry demand, the department plans to train 6,000 FSMs and 18,000 FSOs by 2030 and is expanding its network of training providers.

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 6 — From April 1, 2027, owners of 9,451 buildings across the country designated under the Fire Services Act will be required to appoint Fire Safety Managers (FSMs) and Fire Safety Officers (FSOs) at their premises.

Fire and Rescue Department (JBPM) director-general Datuk Seri Nor Hisham Mohammad said the requirement was in line with Section 27A of the Fire Services (Amendment) Act 2025, which requires owners of designated premises to establish a Fire Safety Organisation (OKK).

“From April 1, 2027, any building that we inspect within the next one or two years and which is required to obtain a Fire Certificate will have to appoint an FSM and FSO and establish a Fire Safety Organisation at the premises,” he told reporters after the launch of the FSM and FSO programme at Menara Merdeka Maybank here today.

Nor Hisham said a preparation period of between six and 18 months would be given to building owners before full enforcement begins, depending on the expiry date of their existing certificates and the Fire Certificate inspection schedule.

He said the enforcement was a strategic approach to reduce JBPM’s workload, particularly in conducting annual inspections of premises.

“In future, the annual inspection reports prepared by FSMs will be assessed by JBPM for the renewal of Fire Certificates without requiring physical inspections to be conducted by the Fire and Rescue Department every year,” he said.

Nor Hisham said to meet industry needs from 2026 to 2030, JBPM expected 6,000 FSMs and 18,000 FSOs to be appointed nationwide.

He said JBPM currently had 13 registered training providers and had issued a tender to increase the number of training providers and instructors.

从 2027 年 4 月 1 日起，马来西亚 9,451 个指定地点的建筑物业主将被强制要求按照 2025 年消防服务（修正）法令任命消防安全经理 (FSM) 和消防安全主任 (FSO)。

消防救援局总监拿督斯里诺希山·穆罕默德表示，这项举措旨在利用消防局编制的年度检查报告，减轻该部门的工作量并简化消防证书的续期流程。

为了满足行业需求，该部门计划到 2030 年培训 6,000 名 FSM 和 18,000 名 FSO，并正在扩大其培训提供商网络。

吉隆坡，10 月 6 日——从 2027 年 4 月 1 日起，全国根据《消防法》指定的 9,451 栋建筑物的业主将被要求在其场所任命消防安全经理 (FSM) 和消防安全主任 (FSO)。

消防救援局 (JBPM) 总监拿督斯里诺希山·穆罕默德表示，这一要求符合 2025 年消防服务（修正）法令第 27A 条的规定，该条规定指定场所的所有者必须成立消防安全组织 (OKK)。

“从 2027 年 4 月 1 日起，未来一两年内我们检查的任何建筑物，如果该建筑物需要获得消防证书，都必须任命一名消防安全经理 (FSM) 和一名消防安全官 (FSO)，并在该场所设立一个消防安全组织，”他今天在马来亚银行独立大厦 (Menara Merdeka Maybank) 启动消防安全经理和消防安全官计划后告诉记者。

Nor Hisham表示，在全面执法开始之前，将给予建筑物业主6至18个月的准备期，具体时间取决于现有证书的到期日和消防证书检查时间表。

他表示，此次执法行动是一项战略举措，旨在减轻新山地物业管理局的工作量，特别是减少其对物业进行年度检查的工作量。

“未来，消防安全经理 (FSM) 编制的年度检查报告将由 JBPM 进行评估，以续签消防证书，而无需消防救援部门每年进行实地检查，”他说。

Nor Hisham表示，为了满足2026年至2030年的行业需求，JBPM预计将在全国范围内任命6000名FSM和18000名FSO。

他表示，JBPM目前有13家注册培​​训机构，并已发出招标，以增加培训机构和讲师的数量。
