CPD webinar for architects, engineers, body corporate managers, builders, trades & construction professionals
Approved for 2 formal CPD points
Passive Fire Protection has always been a problem. Now with the issues surrounding cladding, it is increasingly becoming highlighted as a major issue.
Electricians & plumbers install the products to the best of their abilities and knowledge, however "fire protection" is not their ‘trade’ and they don’t have time to invest in gaining the detailed knowledge and training to ensure the products are correctly installed, as per the fire testing & system certificates.
Fire safety in commercial buildings begins with the architect designing a building in such a way that fires won't take place, selecting materials to restrict fire spreading and ensuring systems are in place to put the fire out quickly if and/or when one starts.
This webinar to be led by Darryl Waddingham will look at:
Pre design considerations for fire safety
Role of architect in design & documentation phase, role of builder & trades on site
Building regulations, code and fire and life safety for building projects
Alternative, cost-effective design solutions to achieve compliance
Role of fire engineer and when a fire engineer should be used
Typical fire engineering solutions with case study on structural steel
Materials - combustible v non combustible -glass, steel, timber, plaster, fabrics, coatings
Collaboration - architect, builder, certifier, fire engineer, fire brigade and on site trades
Dealing with relevant statutory authorities
Webinar will comprise presentation by Darryl and a Q&A session
