The Association for Specialist Fire Protection (ASFP) has announced plans for a series of regional CPD seminars around the UK, starting in Manchester on 26 September 2013.
Held in association with the British Woodworking Federation (BWF) and Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue, the first event will take place at Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service Headquarters, Swinton, Manchester. Further events are planned in Cardiff, Tyne &Wear, Edinburgh, Birmingham and London over coming months.
Aimed at improving awareness of passive fire protection, “Understanding Passive Fire Protection”, will offer an essential overview into all aspects of passive fire protection, its specification, installation, inspection and maintenance. The presentations will cover all aspects of passive fire protection, testing and certification, fire risk assessment and installation.
Delivered by technical experts, the presentations will include an overview of risks in buildings in relation to passive fire protection; and introductions to fire doors, fire-resistant glazing, structural fire protection, compartment wall penetrations and fire stopping.
The price of each event is just £25 plus VAT, including lunch. ASFP and BWF members can book at a special rate of £15 plus VAT.
A donation of £5 from every booking will be made to the Children’s Burns Trust.
The seminars are suitable for anyone who is responsible for specifying or inspecting passive fire protection or those appointing trades that could cause damage to existing fire protection in the process of their work. They should particularly appeal to practising Fire Risk Assessors, Responsible Persons, Local Authorities, Facilities Managers, Building Control, and Care Home Providers.
