Seminar Programme

This session will discuss competency levels across the fire industry and the challenges faced in ensuring compliance is adhered to. What do competent companies and individuals look like? How can they ensure and prove compliance? What is next in raising the bar of competency to the next level? All of these points will be explored during this presentation from the industry leading FIA team

Discover how sustainability is reshaping the fire safety industry. We’ll explore core principles and driving factors, with a focus on practical steps for making fire detectors and alarm systems more environmentally responsible. Be part of the conversation that’s pushing the industry toward a greener, more sustainable future.

This session will delve into the challenges associated with Lithium-ion battery fires and will provide valuable insights into why they happen and how to prevent them using the innovative Firechief® Halo™ 8 Step Battery Safety Plan.

The significance of early design-stage considerations for effective fire safety. Discussing the implications of neglecting these measures, providing insights into the proactive strategies required to avoid failure in ensuring robust passive fire protection in built environments.

With the introduction of new 2022 regulations becoming law in January 2023, what’s needed to comply? How can fire detection be updated quickly and safely, and what technology is available to protect against future exterior fires, as well as those that could occur within properties?

How, with wireless technology, can a system be upgraded in days rather than weeks or months, and existing systems extended to increase protection regardless of the manufacturer and protocol of the installed fire system.

As the creators of and therefore experts in their products, passive fire protection manufacturers must be able to be seen as trusted sources of information. The Act seeks to make this possible through the introduction of the new National Regulator for Construction Products (NRCP).

This session considers the ramifications of applying the Golden Thread in projects and explores the tools, mechanisms and schemes that can help tackle the challenges faced by those in the project chain.

This session offers a concise overview of essential passive fire protection measures for roof voids, an area often neglected in fire hazard considerations. It aims to clarify the complex requirements specified in regulations, which can differ depending on factors such as building type, location, and usage scenarios. By providing valuable insights, the session strives to aid in compliance with UK building regulations, Approved Document B and NHBC Guidelines, while improving fire safety in roof void spaces.

Traditional fire alarms are essential, but a connected home solution can take home protection a step further. These systems leverage smart technology to offer a range of advantages, giving you peace of mind and potentially saving lives in an emergency. Let's explore how connected home solutions can keep you and your loved ones safer.

Join us as we conduct a comprehensive analysis of key fire detection methods—beam smoke detection, aspirating smoke detection, and point detection. We navigate through the benefits, costs, and limitations of each detection method, providing valuable insights to help you make informed decisions in optimising open area protection strategies.
