It is environmental policy to encourage Green Walls along with Green Roofs, and planning can be conditional on their provision. Clients are experimenting with ways to add Green Walls into their projects, and at greater height, as Nurseries develop systems for consultants and contractors. In this webinar, the approved convention of testing planting is considered, and another approach involving R&D among the Green Wall providers is suggested.

The biofuel industry in the UK has grown from almost nothing in 2005 to one with a capacity to produce over 1.5 billion litres per year in 2021. This industry forms part of the UK strategy to reduce use of fossil fuels. This webinar covers the key hazards associated with commercial biofuel manufacturing plants and recommended risk controls aligned with expectations for chemical/process sector manufacturing plants.

An inevitable consequence of the Net-Zero ambition will be the increased use of wood as a structural building component of large buildings. For the insurer this presents a number of challenges derived from the change in materials used, the ways they are assembled, and the additional insured perils that come into play. To ensure the insurer viewpoint is appropriately communicated to all stakeholders, this webinar introduces the key concepts of the white paper: ‘Insurance challenges of massive timber construction (and a possible way forward)’.

The Supply Chain Toolkit is a valuable resource for small and medium size businesses to help them manage the risks associated with supply chain interruptions. Developed by RISCAuthority’s Business Continuity Working Group and recently upgraded to improve and simplify the user experience, member companies can now control the resources provided on their own versions of the website. This webinar explains the website changes and provides an overview of how the toolkit works.

Class 0 was said to be the highest national performance classification for construction materials and products, such as in external walls, until the fatal fire of Grenfell Tower on 14 June 2017. It was defined in the statutory guidance of Approved Document Part B and not in any British Standard. The 72 deaths were a high price to pay for British society to discover that Class 0 could in fact be achieved by composite products with highly combustible cores. This webinar explains the Class 0 Conundrum using the evidence from the Grenfell Tower Inquiry.

With regulation focused almost exclusively on life safety, and the move to more sustainable and potentially combustible materials and methods of construction, buildings are becoming less resilient. Increased anticipated material damage, and associated material damage can impact insurability and security of investment. This webinar explores how the design community needs to respond, with the inclusion of features to limit the extent of loss over and above that demanded in (life safety) law.

In this webinar, Technical Consultant Ian Abley introduces each of the Essential Principles for improvements in asset protection and explains their importance in the decision-making process of building projects.

Following the recent update to the LPC Technical Bulletins and the introduction of new LPC Technical Bulletins, this 1-hour webinar delivered by Dale Kinnersley will run through the changes and implications for the sprinkler industry moving forward.

In this webinar, the FPA’s Technical Steering Group Manager, George Edwardes addresses how the chemistry behind insulation materials has secretly changed over the last 20 years and the impact this has had on fire performance.

In this webinar, RISCAuthority Principal Consultant and author of RC59, Adrian Butler will cover a hazard review and key guidance for charging EVs with lithium-ion batteries from the recently updated RC59 document, including a review of major enclosed car park fires.
