Effective Passive Fire Protection for Service Penetrations in Buildings (Quelfire CPD)
As part of Quelfire's mission to educate the construction industry about the importance of passive fire protection, they offer a CPD training titled “Effective Passive Fire Protection for Service Penetrations in Buildings”.
The training is primarily aimed at specifiers but is highly beneficial for anyone involved in the design or management of the installation of firestopping solutions: architects, designers, contractors, project managers, consultants and surveyors.
The CPD certified training raises awareness of the importance of early engagement, thus, ensuring compliant installations and enabling effective design and specification of complete firestopping systems. The training also provides an overview of solutions available and what to look for to ensure suitability and compliance.
Quelfire offer the live presentation (mostly delivered virtually via Zoom or MS Teams) to architect practices, main contractors, and other organisations that are involved in the specification of passive fire protection systems and that can bring in at least 10-12 participants to the training. The session typically lasts 45 to 60 minutes and is held by one of our fire containment specialists. To request a dedicated CPD, please choose a suitable date and time from the calendar at the bottom of this page.
They are also delivering the same CPD training as an open webinar on the second Tuesday of every month.
