Users of FRAME By April 2013, there are MORE THAN 700 registered FRAME users, located in 50+ countries worldwide. The largest group (33%) work as safety advisors in their organisation. Some 32 % are fire protection engineers and/or consultants. Students of fire safety programs represent 15 % of the users, and their teachers an other 8 %. The other users are fire brigade officers, building officials and insurance consultants. Most of them appear to be working alone or in a small team with limited access to professional advice from their peers. Geografically, the majority of the users are located in Europe, mainly in Belgium, Spain, Italy and Portugal, and in Latin America. Larger countries with a detailed prescriptive fire safety legislation are underrepresented.
