The Shard is the tallest building in Western Europe
With skyscraper and tall building constructions booming in cities across the world, fire safety professionals working in hotels, high rise apartments, offices and tall buildings in general must keep pace with developments and changes in fire risks.
The Tall Building Fire Safety Network has published a programme of events for this year aimed at anyone who has a responsibility for designing, building or managing fire safety in tall buildings.
The next Tall Building Fire Safety Management Course will take place at The Shard, London, UK on 8– 12 May 2017. Further courses are scheduled later in the year in Australia, in Sydney, on 9-13 October 2017, and in Melbourne on 16-20 October 2017.
The Tall Building Fire Safety Management Training Course has useful tools and techniques for those tasked with management. Delivered over five days in existing tall buildings, the course covers a wide syllabus of relevant topics and case studies spanning prevention including case studies, fire risk assessment, firefighting techniques and more. Find out more about the course here.
On 20-22 June the 4th International Tall Building Fire Safety Conference takes place at Excel, London, alongside the Firex International Exhibition.
Attendees can register for the full three-day event or for one or more of the themed days. Day one will consider design and fire engineering in tall buildings; day two, management and insurance of fire risk in tall buildings; while the last day will consider firefighting in tall buildings.
