SAESI 2nd Semester Examination Registration NOW Open

Dear Member and Examination Students

Please take note that the 2nd Semester Examination Registrations are now open and will close at 12h00pm on the 23rd of August 2021. NO LATE REGISTRATIONS. This will be the LAST sitting, i.e. opportunity to write Higher Certificate with SAESI.

In order to serve our members the best way possible and to provide a qualification in line with Department of Higher Education and SAQA regulations, SAESI has partnered with SBS and established a Fire Technology Qualification on NQF 5 which incorporates the SAESI Legacy Qualification. This has already opened during this year and will continue from hereon in. This is similar to the historical agreement SAESI had years ago with LYCEUM who presented the SAESI Qualifications while SAESI still administered it.  Download the info sheet for reference.

To register for the SAESI Examinations, please follow the link below.

https://landbot.io/u/H-506463-NZQDUV0I6XGH5MKI/index.html

This link can be shared to any active member of SAESI that wishes to enrol for examinations. The qualifying criteria for new Higher Certificate enrolees, are as follow;

  • Must be employed in the Fire and Emergency Field [minimum of 18 months consecutively]. Proof will be required.
  • Must have a Senior Certificate [statement of results will not be accepted]. Proof will be required.
  • Must have IFSAC Accredited NFPA 1001 Fire Fighter One, Fire Fighter Two, and NFPA 472/1072 Hazmat Awareness, Hazmat Operations Certificates. Proof will be required. Should you only have a Statement of Results it will only be accepted if proof of application for Certification can be provided.
  • Valid / Current Medical Qualification. Proof will be required.

The Examination sitting will take place in SAESI’s new financial year (starts 1 October 2021), which means that each member that enrols to write examinations must pay their Membership Fee of R460-00 with examination registration of R1299-50 per subject. Should payment not be made or proof of payment not received, NO RESULTS WILL BE RELEASED UNTIL SUCH PAYMENT IS MADE AND PROOF OF PAYMENT RECEIVED.

Examinations enrolees are able to enrol for all 4 subjects on each level or for the next level available, i.e. FIT300 passed and can now enrol for FIT400 without obtaining the whole Higher Certificate.

Thank you

Delegates Approve Resolutions Addressing PFAS in PPE

Delegates at the IAFF 55th Convention voted overwhelmingly in favor of resolutions to protect members from toxic substances in personal protective equipment (PPE) and to end sponsorships from manufacturers that use these substances.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), a class of some 4,000 chemicals used in virtually all bunker gear inner liners to make them waterproof, have been linked to cancer and other illnesses among fire fighters.

Resolution 28, approved by delegates by a vote of 1,536 to 10, calls on the IAFF to no longer accept sponsorships from the chemical industry, textile manufacturers or PPE manufacturers that use toxic chemicals in PPE.

Resolution 31, approved by delegates by a vote of 1,472 to 4, calls on the IAFF to actively oppose the use of PFAS in turnout gear and to seek independent testing of PPE currently available to determine levels of PFAS and the ability of the chemicals to penetrate skin.

While it is known that PFAS is contained in turnout gear, and that these dangerous substances have been detected in blood, it remains unclear how it enters the human body. The IAFF is currently supporting three ongoing studies: exploring PFAS levels in dust in fire stations, PFAS levels in fire fighters’ blood, and the levels and nature of PFAS in various types of turnout gear.

Ending 2020 – a letter to our members

I can honestly say that we are COVID-19 Fatigued and perhaps many people and businesses will agree. For the first time since the second world war, the whole world and this generation has been affected by something of a global scale. How it affected each one of us though is very different and unique.

2020 separated the chaff from the wheat in so much as it showed very clearly who is adept to change and who is not. Uncertainty is the only certainty in life and will be for 2021 also. Some people had the best year of their life because they chose to focus on creating value for others, thought differently about strategies and implemented sound strategies and not just a temporary solution to a permanent problem.
