The Fire Safey Event has partnered with ASFP to bring a new conference theatre covering passive fire protection topics and various fire safety measures in the built environment. With themed topics on each day, hear from the experts and get the essential advice from specification, installation, inspection and maintenance.
Main contractors embrace Passive Fire Protection
Further to the passing of the Building Safety Act last year, Gateway Two which requires Building Control Approval by the Building Safety Regulator before construction work can begin and Gateway Three, which requires a completion certificate to be issued by the Building Safety Regulator are both expected to come into force on 1 October 2023.
The Passive Fire Knowledge Group (PFKG) www.pfkg.org is a group of ten tier 1 contractors who together with The ASFP, BESA and FIS have set up a knowledge group to try and resolve passive fire protection issues – majoring on good and early design.
Come and listen to industry leaders explain how they intend to be ready for these important changes this year.
But what does that mean for the individual and the organisation? Now that we’ve identified competence inadequacies in our sector, what are some simple actions we can take to identify the gaps in our collective and individual knowledge? What practical steps can we take to move forward? Andrea White’s presentation will address these questions and discuss how we can shift from thinking of CPD as an inconvenient box-ticking exercise towards a career culture of continual development and collaboration.
With the building safety act having royal assent, and the secondary legislation being planned, now more than ever, designers, manufacturers and installers of passive fire protection systems need to work together more than ever.
In this presentation, Dr Andrew Taylor will take a brief look at the regulatory changes, and examine the benefits of collaboration across the contractual chain.
In this presentation Niall Rowan will update on the proposed withdrawal of British Standards to satisfy Approved Document B in England. The proposal put forward by the Department of Levelling Up Communities and Housing (DLUCH) will mean the end of BS 476 tests which have been a cornerstone of fire safety of over 70 years. He will also explain how the proposed use of European Classes will restrict choices of products, and with no route to use assessments, will be unable to address product performance in end use applications.
With a jam-packed agenda, check out our topical and industry update with our CPD accredited content programe.
With over 175 world-leading industry suppliers exhibiting at the show, discover all your fire safety needs.
