The ASFP is saddened to hear of the passing of the Fire Protection Association (FPA) MD Jon O’Neill. Jon was and continued to be one of the original advocates of improving fire safety standards within design, construction and occupation. He was single minded in creating an environment that endeavoured lower the frequency of major fire events and associated casualty numbers. He continued to lobby those in positions of power and influence with a view to shining a little on the inadequacies that existed in our sector right up until very recently; for that, we know the construction industry and wider stakeholders are grateful.

The ASFP team and members wish to pass on their condolences to Jon’s family, the FPA team and members, and all those that knew Jon in the many spheres he occupied. Your drive and dedication will be missed Jon.
