Telgian VP helps prep group for CFPS exam

Telgian Vice President, Account Management, Ralph Bless, provided five days of National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Certified Fire Protection Specialist (CFPS) test prep for team members from the Saudi Electric Company fire protection group in Jeddah, KSA.

Bless’ role was to help prepare the group for the CFPS exam by giving them the skills and knowledge they would need to prepare for it.

Bless is recognised as an expert in the fire protection industry and has more than four decades of experience. He shares his knowledge with others in his capacity as a speaker, presenter and instructor both in the US and across the globe. He is licensed as a Professional Engineer in six states, a Certified Fire Protection Specialist, Level IV NICET senior fire sprinkler layout technician and holds four additional NICET certifications.

With an active leadership role within the industry, Bless chairs the NFPA technical committee for Record Storage, NFPA 232, and serves on the NFPA technical committees for Building Systems and Special Occupancies (NFPA 1 – Fire Code); Installation (NFPA 13); Correlating (NFPA 13); Water Spray Systems (NFPA 15); and Remote Inspections (NFPA 915).

Bless’ work with the Saudi Electric Company group is vital, as the CFPS is an essential credential verifying proficiency in mitigating both physical and financial loss from fire hazards.
