In addition to offering visitors direct access to several of our experienced consultants at the event, we are pleased to confirm that we will also be delivering the following sessions:
Fire safety legislation, changes and impacts
Wednesday 22 January 3:10pm - 3:40pm
Chris Miles, Commercial Director, FPA
This plenary will examine the recent changes to the legislative framework and how these have updated the responsibilities and competencies defined for all of those involved in a building’s fire safety management. Specifically, this talk will touch on the Building Safety Act 2022, Fire Safety Act 2021, Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 and current and forthcoming changes to Approved Document B.
What can cause your sprinkler system to fail?
Thursday 23 January 2:30pm - 3:00pm
George Edwardes, Technical Director, FPA
It is now widely accepted that where systems are correctly designed, installed and maintained there is a better than 99% chance of a sprinkler system controlling or actually extinguishing a fire. This session will highlight some of the reasons that sprinkler systems can fail, emphasising the importance of routine checks and maintenance. The talk will also reveal some of the forthcoming research and changes taking place at the FPA around sprinkler systems and provide delegates with an opportunity to ask questions about their suppression systems.
