The programme will be delivered by a panel of experts including representatives from BM TRADA, the Fire Protection Association, Association for Specialist Fire Protection, Chief Fire Officers Association and law firm Browne Jacobson.
The seminar will go through the legislation’s basics, offer a detailed look at passive fire protection and why it’s so vital; the importance of competency for those involved in assessing, specifying, installing and maintaining passive fire protection measures and how third-party certification can help; the role of the enforcing officer; and the consequences and costs of getting it wrong.
Delegates also get free access to ‘The Responsible Person’ e-learning course from the Fire Protection Association.
The half-day seminars will suit facilities and estates managers, fire and rescue services, housing associations, local authorities, hotel and guest house owners and managers of public buildings, including those in the education and health sectors.
”It’s imperative that people who assume the role of the ‘Responsible Person’ under the RRFSO fully understand what is required of them in exercising their duty – and the popularity of our seminars proves that there is a real demand for this information, which we are happy to provide,” says Peter Barker, a senior consultant at BM TRADA.
