This presentation will discuss how we guide and develop the risk management system and help understand the risk. This promotes the need for competence in developing the safety case, by using our expertise to develop the clients’ solutions. The relationship based on trust of our level of competence, gives our clients reassurance that they have fire safety risks articulated well and mitigated appropriately. We will use case study material from projects we have supported to show our approach.

The critical strategies of vertical and horizontal fire compartmentalisation, integral to building design and firefighting. Methods to effectively limit fire and smoke spread, safeguarding lives and property. With emphasis on doors as key barriers, we explore their pivotal role in containing fires, enabling safe evacuation, and fortifying overall fire safety measures.

Join experts from BSI & BAFE to learn what's next for fire detection and building safety including: awareness of new regulations, the importance of dedicated evacuation systems and BS 86929 compliance.

In the wake of the Building Safety Act and the scrutiny of fire system engineer competence, experienced workers without formal qualifications face uncertainty. Tom Brookes delves into strategies for adaptation and empowerment. From ECS Fire Gold Card challenges to redefining worth, gain actionable insights to thrive in the evolving industry landscape.

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. In this session, we will cover responsible sourcing, carbon management, circular economy practices, and material compliance.

Gateway 1 has been in place since August 2021. Gateways 2 and 3 came into effect in October 2023. These are the biggest changes to fire regulations in a generation. This presentation will give an overview of the key issues that fire engineers should be aware of.

David Keeble, the Head of UK Sales at Coopers Fire will be discussing passive fire protection, regulations, using fire curtains as a solution from compartmentation to protecting means of escape, performance classifications, and applications where and when a fire curtain can be specified in the built environment. 

This session will highlight some of the most common mistakes made in the installation of smoke ventilation systems and will examine the current guidelines and how to ensure compliance.

In the construction industry's journey towards adopting the Golden Thread principles, the evolution of 3rd party certification schemes is paramount. This keynote delves into how 3rd party certification can align with the Golden Thread's core principles to ensure the integrity of construction projects now and in the future.

This session will demonstrate the importance of a fully compliant emergency lighting system, what is required of the property manager to ensure the installation is maintained throughout the year to avoid prosecution, but most importantly you will learn how the introduction of IoT technology can remove almost all risk of manual error and reduce costs at the same time.

The session focuses on the upcoming legislation impacting manufacturers and importers of smart products being placed onto the UK markets. You will learn about the requirements of the PSTI Act coming into force on 29 April 2024 as well as the Cyber Security Delegated Act for RED and ETSI EN 303 645.

Speaking through the eyes of a Resident, what Housing Associations are doing well, and where resources have a better use. With direct experience in the Building Safety Crisis post-Grenfell. 

Operations Driven Safety & Reliability At IRISS, we provide our customers unsurpassed safety & quality at every touch point. We focus on what we do best by continuously improving visual overtemperature indicators, inspection infrared (IR) windows, online monitoring devices and Ultrasound test equipment technology. As solution providers, the team at IRISS brings a multitude of experience from world class maintenance programs together to meet the individual needs of commercial, industrial, marine, power generation and government maintenance programs. Our accredited training programs were developed by Condition Based Maintenance (CBM) professionals to ensure that the latest CBM technology and techniques can be easily deployed by our clients.

While our system had vast real world-experience providing unique and reliable fire protection, we felt strongly that it required 3rd party validation using recognised design standards and practices. This would give confidence to those not familiar with the system, and open doors to customers and markets that required an independent, globally recognised listing on their safety equipment.

This presentation will examine the impact of stack effect and discuss the areas of specific importance, the requirements of the applicable standards and implications on system design.

With over a million assessments on their platform, RiskBase has long been a leader in risk assessment software. 

This half-hour session is a demonstration of our FRA, compartmentation, and door survey tools and how simple it is to develop small-scale asset management that works with floorplans, basic building models, and QR codes.

Whether or not you already use RiskBase, or are just selecting the right tools for your organisation, we’ll talk about selection criteria and how to get a winning edge by providing clients not just with slick PDF reports, but an unbeatable selection of data outputs and integration with other platforms/software.
