Fire safety officer job in India: the five posts, their rules, pay and path

Updated By Flamekite Editorial DeskFacts checked against official sources on

Quick answer

No single post is called the fire safety officer. Five different jobs carry the name: the safety officer an employer must appoint under the OSH Code, Gujarat's enrolled Fire Safety Officer, the officer a building owner appoints under a state fire law, the in-house fire officer of a tall building, and the fire officer a PSU, port or airport hires. Each has its own rulebook, its own qualification and its own way in.

The statutory safety officer needs an engineering or science base plus, in most state texts, a recognised industrial-safety degree or diploma. The Gujarat officer needs a fire or engineering qualification and a 4, 6 or 8 week course, with the owner as the paymaster. A PSU fire officer is hired by dated notice, usually on a BE in Fire or Fire and Safety.

No rule or government pay scale exists for the first three; only PSU and port notices print pay, between Rs 60,000 a month and Rs 1,80,000 a month at the top of an airport scale. Flamekite read the rules and notices on 24 to 26 October 2026.

How to become a fire safety officer, step by step

  1. Pick the post

    Decide among the five jobs. The statutory safety officer, the Gujarat Fire Safety Officer and the PSU fire officer have different gates, and a qualification for one rarely opens another.

  2. Build the base qualification

    For the statutory post: an engineering or technology degree, or a physics or chemistry degree, or an engineering diploma. For Gujarat: a fire or fire-and-safety degree, a BE or BArch, or a PG diploma. For a PSU fire officer: a BE in Fire or Fire and Safety, often at 60%.

  3. Add the recognised industrial-safety diploma

    Most state texts for factories and the Central Rules for construction ask for an industrial-safety degree or diploma recognised by the government. DGOSH runs the 1-year ADIS, PDIS and DIS at 5 institutes.

  4. Count the experience

    The Central Rules ask 2 years of supervisory experience after an engineering degree, 5 years after a science degree or an engineering diploma. Gujarat's grades ask 0 to 10 years by route.

  5. Get appointed, enrolled or selected

    A statutory safety officer is hired by the employer with no exam. A Gujarat officer applies on the FSO portal, takes the course and the exam, and is enrolled. A PSU or port fire officer applies against a dated notice.

  6. Keep the credential live

    Gujarat enrolment lasts 3 years and renews through a refresher course and exam. Re-read the state's OSH rule when you change state: the texts differ.

Five fire safety officer jobs in India and who sets each

Start with the legal source of the post. The title on a job advertisement does not tell you which of the five it is.

  1. If The employer is a factory, construction site, dock or mine

    You are looking at the statutory safety officer: OSH Code s.22(2), numbers and qualifications from the OSH rules of the Centre or the State. OSH Code 2020 OSH Code

  2. If The building is in Gujarat and needs its fire certificate renewed

    The owner must appoint an enrolled Fire Safety Officer from the Director's list at least 2 months before the certificate expires. Fire Audit Gujarat Gujarat Ordinance 3/2021

  3. If The building is in a state whose fire law makes owners appoint an officer

    Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Manipur, Delhi, Punjab and Odisha each name a building-level post; the rule is in the state-law section below. Fire Safety Officer Government of Haryana

  4. If The building is a tall residential, business or institutional block

    NBC 2016 Part 4 clause 4.10.1 asked for a Fire Officer with at least 3 years' experience on the premises. NBC 2016 was withdrawn on 30 April 2026, so this is now a standard some tenants and insurers still follow, not a rule. NBC 2016 Part 4

  5. If The employer is a refinery, port, airport or other PSU

    You apply against a dated notice for a fire officer or safety officer post, with pay printed in the notice. The vacancy and pay lines are below. Fire Jobs in India MRPL Advt 03

  6. If The building is in Maharashtra

    There is no officer post. Forms A and B are signed by a person with a rule 12 qualification inside a licensed agency, or by a licensed auditor. Maharashtra Fire License Agency MFS Rules 2025

Safety officer qualification in eight OSH rule texts

A statutory safety officer needs a base qualification, experience and, in most texts, a recognised industrial-safety degree or diploma. The wording differs by jurisdiction, so read the text of the state where you will work.

StatusBase qualification and experienceIndustrial-safety degree or diploma
Centre: OSH (Central) Rules 2026, rule 18 OSH Central Rules 2026In force from 9 May 2026; covers dock work (500 workers or more) and construction (250 or more)Engineering or technology degree and 2 years' supervisory experience; or physics or chemistry degree and 5 years; or engineering diploma and 5 yearsA degree or diploma recognised by the Central or State Government, or the PG diploma of the Central or Regional Labour Institutes; other routes: 5 years in an enforcement department or in accident-prevention work
Gujarat: OSH rules, rule 21 Gujarat GazetteGazette of 12 June 2025; factories and constructionFactories: degree in chemical, mechanical, electrical or fire engineering and 2 years; or physics or chemistry degree and 5 years; or diploma and 6 yearsA degree or diploma recognised by the State; alternatives of 2 years as Inspector-cum-Facilitator or 5 years in training, consultancy or research
Uttar Pradesh: OSH rules, rule 46 UP GazetteFinal, 27 August 2026; repeals the 1984 factory safety officer rulesEngineering degree and 2 years; physics or chemistry degree and 5 years; recognised engineering diploma and 5 yearsA B.Tech or M.Tech in health, safety and environment or fire engineering is accepted as an alternative to the diploma

Andhra Pradesh: OSH rules, rule 23 AP GazetteGazetted 7 August 2026The standard 2, 5 and 5 year routes, and TeluguA DGOSH-institute diploma, or a degree or diploma of at least 1 year from a university or technical board
Bihar: OSH rules, rule 22 Bihar GazetteGazette of 19 December 2025; in force 1 July 2026 per a legal trackerThe standard clausesRecognised industrial-safety degree or diploma; the gazette text joins two clauses with "or", so whether it is an alternative or an add-on is not confirmed
Karnataka: draft rules, rule 22 Karnataka draftDraft of 23 January 2026; no final notification foundEngineering degree and 2 years; physics or chemistry degree and 5; diploma and 5; and KannadaA full-time degree or diploma from a university established by law; read literally this leaves out technical-board and DGOSH diplomas
Delhi: draft rules, rule 22 Delhi Labour DeptDraft; not in forceThe standard 2, 5 and 5 year routes and the local languageNone: the draft drops the industrial-safety clause

Other states' texts were not read in full. DGOSH's prospectuses up to 2025-26 called ADIS, PDIS and DIS the only nationally recognised statutory qualification, and its 2026-27 ones drop that line and guarantee no recognition; that was its own claim, and the rule text, not the claim, decides.

What an OSH safety officer does: rules 14, 15 and 18

The Code names the post and leaves duties, numbers and qualifications to rules. The Central Rules fill part of it; state rules fill the rest.

Section 22(2) of the OSH Code sets the triggers: 500 workers in a factory, 250 in a hazardous-process factory or on construction work, 100 in a mine, counting workers ordinarily employed. The Code took effect on 21 November 2025. The thresholds table and the penalties are on the OSH Code page; this page covers the job.

Rule 14 of the Central Rules of 8 May 2026 sets a Safety Committee in every establishment with 500 or more workers, for a 3-year term, meeting quarterly (monthly in a mine). Rule 15 makes the safety officer the Committee's Secretary. That is the one duty the Central Rules print for the post: the officer keeps the Committee's business running.

Rule 18 sets how many. In dock work: 1 officer up to 1,000 workers, 2 up to 2,000, 3 up to 5,000, 4 up to 10,000, then 1 more for every 5,000. In construction: 1 up to 500, 2 up to 1,000, 3 up to 2,000, 4 up to 5,000, then 1 more for every 2,000. Rule 20 asks mines for 1 officer per 500 workers, and a coal or metal mine's officer needs a DGMS First Class Manager's Certificate.

  • Duties beyond rule 15 are "as may be prescribed" (s.22(2)). Flamekite found no printed duty list in the Central Rules and did not read each State's duties rule, so a full job description is not confirmed.
  • The Central Rules set no qualification for factories. For most factories the State is the appropriate government, so the state OSH rule above applies.
  • An older example: under the Factories Act s.40B, safety officers were required only where a State notified it, from 1,000 workers or in hazardous processes.

Gujarat fire safety officer jobs: 204 enrolled officers

Gujarat is the one state where a private fire safety officer is a counted, enrolled profession. The Director's public list showed these figures on 25 October 2026.

Gujarat fire safety officer job description: duties and limits

The officer is a private professional whom the owner appoints. The duties below are the ones the Act, rules and regulations print.

  • Be appointed from the Director's enrolled list at least 2 months before the building's fire certificate expires, and the owner must fill a vacancy at once (section 12, from Ordinance 3 of 22 January 2021). Gujarat Ordinance 3/2021
  • Inspect the building and sign the Form B-15 declaration with the owner every 6 months (rule 26(2)). Gujarat Rules 2021
  • Renew the fire safety certificate for 2 years on Form B-13.3 after the Regional or Chief Fire Officer verifies it (rule 25, notified 24 June 2024). Gujarat Gazette 2024
  • Hold 2 mock drills a year on the drill checklist of the Regulations (Regulation 8.5). Gujarat Fire Safety Compliance Portal
  • Never act as the installer of the same building's systems, and never as the Licensed Agency of the same building. Gujarat Fire Safety Compliance Portal
  • Never issue a Fire Safety Plan Approval or a Fire Safety Certificate: that stays with the fire authority. Gujarat FSO portal
  • Serve only the building classes the grade allows: for example FSO-General serves residential buildings of 15 to 35 m, FSO-Advance 35 to 60 m, FSO-Specialist above 60 m. The full grade table is on the fire jobs page. Gujarat FSO handbook

Building fire safety officer under state fire laws: six states

Outside Gujarat, a state fire law may make owners of named buildings appoint an officer. The post is attached to one premises and the owner pays; the glossary entry carries the definitions.

  • Uttar Pradesh

    Schedule VII buildings, enrolment on Form A-9

    Rule 55 of the 2024 Rules asks for an officer in Schedule VII buildings after a one-week orientation at a fire station. Default, after a 30-day notice, costs Rs 10 to Rs 50 per m2 of built-up area per month (s.33). UP Rules 2024

  • Haryana

Maharashtra fire safety officer: no such post, three signatories

Maharashtra runs on licensed agencies, so a job advertised there as fire safety officer is usually one of these three roles.

Rule 12(a) qualified person
An NFSC Fire Engineering degree, advanced diploma or diploma, FIFireE or MIFireE, AMIE Fire or an IFE Graduateship. Since the amendment notified on 12 June 2025 (rule 14(4)), Forms A, B, A-1 and B-1 must be signed by a person with a rule 12 qualification. MFS Rules 2025

Fire safety officer salary in India: what official papers print

Only a recruiting notice prints pay. The statutory safety officer and the Gujarat or building officer have no official scale, so portal averages are left out here.

Fire safety officer career path: four tracks

Flamekite’s working from the official rules; no government publishes this figure.

Flamekite's reading of the rules and notices above. No rule publishes one ladder, so each track is a pattern, not a guarantee.

  1. Statutory track

    Engineering or science base, then a recognised industrial-safety diploma such as the 1-year ADIS, then safety officer, then the senior safety post of a larger site. The number of officers rises with headcount: 1 to 4 in construction between 250 and 5,000 workers. DGOSH

  2. Gujarat track

    Qualify for FSO-General, serve buildings of 15 to 35 m, then apply afresh for the Advance and Specialist courses of 6 and 8 weeks as experience builds. A company can enrol only with 3 officers, one a Specialist. GujFireSafety CoP

  3. Industrial fire track

    A BE in Fire or Fire and Safety, often at 60%, opens fire officer posts such as MRPL's. An airport scale such as AAI's E-3 asks 3 years of fire-service experience. MRPL Advt 03

  4. Audit and consultancy track

    Maharashtra's licensed Fire and Life Safety Auditor asks 7 to 20 years in the field, so it is a later step, not an entry job. MFS Rules 2025

Fire safety officer vacancy: 4 traps before you apply

  • If A vacancy listed with no notice number or closing date.

    Find the notice on the recruiting body's own site. The two fire officer notices read on 24 October 2026 had numbers and dates: Visakhapatnam Port's notice C2/03/2026 and MRPL's Advertisement MRPL/PFTE/2026/03. MRPL Advt 03

  • If A notice already past its last date.

    Visakhapatnam Port's closed on 28 October 2026 and MRPL's on 7 November 2026. A closed notice shows pay and eligibility only. VPA notice

  • If A course sold as the licence to become a fire safety officer.

    Only Gujarat enrols officers, through its FSO portal. Elsewhere the gate is the OSH rule's degree or diploma, or the employer's own notice. Gujarat FSO portal

  • If A fire and safety diploma assumed to satisfy the safety officer rule.

    The rule asks for an industrial-safety degree or diploma recognised by the government. Compare the diploma with the exact words of the state text; the courses page lists the recognised diplomas. OSH Central Rules 2026

Where fire safety officer posts and enrolment are published

Official places only. Posts for the statutory role are advertised by the employer, so no central portal lists them.

Questions about the fire safety officer job

What is a fire safety officer job?

It depends on the employer and the law. It can be the statutory safety officer an employer appoints at 500 workers, Gujarat's enrolled Fire Safety Officer, a building-level officer under a state fire law, an in-house fire officer, or a PSU, port or airport fire officer. The five are covered above.

What is the fire safety officer qualification?

For the statutory safety officer under the Central Rules, an engineering or technology degree and 2 years of supervisory experience, or a physics or chemistry degree and 5 years, or an engineering diploma and 5 years, and a recognised industrial-safety degree or diploma. Gujarat grades and PSU notices ask different qualifications.

What is the fire safety officer salary in India?

There is no official scale for the statutory or building officer. Notices print PSU and port pay: Rs 50,000-1,60,000 a month for an HPCL Safety Officer, Rs 60,000 a month for a Visakhapatnam Port Fire Officer and Rs 12 lakh to Rs 14 lakh a year at MRPL.

How to become a fire safety officer?

Choose the post, build the base qualification, add the industrial-safety diploma where the rule asks, then be appointed by the employer, enrolled in Gujarat, or selected against a notice. The steps above give the order.

What is the fire safety officer job description?

Under the Central Rules the safety officer is the Safety Committee's Secretary (rule 15); other duties are prescribed by state rules. In Gujarat the officer signs the 6-monthly Form B-15, renews the certificate on Form B-13.3 and holds 2 mock drills a year.

Is there a fire and safety officer vacancy open now?

On 24 October 2026 two fire officer notices were open: Visakhapatnam Port's, closing 28 October, and MRPL's, closing 7 November. Statutory safety officers are hired by employers directly, so there is no central list. Always confirm on the recruiter's own site.
