Stainless steel fittings perform an increasingly important role within high-pressure water mist systems. To make installations more straightforward, efficient, safe, reliable and therefore more profitable, there are many techniques, both from a specification and an installation viewpoint, that can help to close any skill gaps. We show you how.

Join Martin Green, Systems Sales Manager at Hochiki Europe, as he discusses cloud technology, the current capabilities of fire detection and emergency lighting systems, and what the future of cloud technology in the life safety industry holds.

The Building Safety Act provides a vision of a digital future for the construction industry with far-reaching benefits in fire safety. But what does this digital transformation mean and how can digital tools help meet these new legal requirements?

A no-punches-pulled thought-provoking insight into:

• Why is there a skills shortage in the fire alarm sector?
• What does competency look like?
• Could diversity save the sector?

Ask yourself, How many female Fire Alarm Engineers do you employ or interview? Can a fire alarm operative be an engineer? 

The session will provide an introduction to Control Equipment for natural and mechanical smoke ventilation systems. The presentation will discuss the requirements of the applicable standards for control system equipment and implications on system design.

Improperly managed hot works remain a leading cause of catastrophic fires and explosions globally. This session focuses on recent technology innovations enabling development of fire detection robots in compliance with the new FM3270 guidance; effectively managing fire hazards while removing risk to personnel and associated costs of traditional fire watch procedures.

Fire Sprinklers: Looking at when & why they are used, types available, water supply options and fire sprinkler pump types; along with contentious topics, compliance details and examples

SmartNet offers the sector a fully wireless fire detection and alarm system, which is quick and easy to install, and can be scaled effectively from small to large installations. Learn how the ground-breaking system can reduce compliance compromise, increase workforce productivity and reduce carbon footprint.

Pressurization is the only smoke control system that is acceptable to be used to discount a stair provision in Approved Document B and can be used to replace almost any prescribed solution for protecting staircases, for example Natural AOV's, Natural Shaft Systems or Mechanical Shafts systems, often known as MSVS. BS 9991 is currently being updated, but is likely to recommend pressurization for single stair residential building up to 30m, the alternative being two stair systems. Pressurization has been around for many years and is regarded as being the best possible smoke control strategy to keep stairs clear of smoke so why hasn't it been more popular? This presentation will discuss this and outline the requirements for pressurization systems, their limitations and what implications and benefits they can bring when introduced into building design.

The specification and installation of cavity barriers are under greater scrutiny today than ever before. Specifiers must collect the necessary information to ensure the system selected is fit for the purpose. This talk from FSi, the UK's leading fire-stopping expert, explains how innovation and development of products can go hand-in-hand with regulatory compliance.

Discover how CCS has led the way in digital fire door management in-line with Dame Judith Hackitt’s review and recommendations to the creation of a Digital Golden Thread of information.

The changing landscape of building safety legislation has required the “Responsible Person” to adapt quickly to new fire door laws, learn how CCS helps to ensure compliance is met throughout the stages of the construction process.

Hear a definitive outline on what standards and certification to apply to procure safer and certified fire curtains for long term peace of mind. Leaning on statements from the CPR, the BSi, the CE Marking Association, Gov.uk websites, and others, this session explores the role of BS EN 16034, the only harmonised standard available for CE marking fire curtains.

Ensure the correct specification of Fire-Resistant Access for walls and ceilings with our RIBA accredited CPD ‘FIRE & SMOKE - Access Solutions’. The session will provide a clear overview of managing access, fire safety and security requirements for fire rated riser doors and wall and ceiling access panels. The CPD identifies what factors should be taken into account when specifying these fire integrity products to ensure legal compliance, whilst also achieving compatibility for the specific application. The session will also present a clear outline of the current fire and safety requirements whilst offering best practice guidance for the installation of fire rated riser doors and steel doors, wall and ceiling access panels, and addressing the fundamentals of fire testing and certification.
