Whitepaper: Enhancing security, resilience and efficiency across a range of industries

NSI puts security and fire installers first with targeted presentations planned for IFSEC 2018

IFSEC 2018The National Security Inspectorate (NSI) is partnering with the organisers of IFSEC International to deliver two ‘Show Me How’ presentations aimed at installers.

Taking place on Tuesday 19 and Wednesday 20 June they will bring to life the latest technologies and technical and industry updates.

At 11.30am, installers are invited to join Mark Gallagher, NSI Technical Officer, for a session on user-focused design of CCTV systems and NSI’s code of practice NCP 104. Attendees will gain first-hand insight into the update on standards associated with video surveillance and NSI’s perspective on CCTV design and additional user requirements.

Later at 2pm, Mark Gallagher will discuss how to minimise your risk using safe automated gate design. He will provide a snapshot of the common pitfalls and legal responsibilities involved with automated gate design and the effective ways in which risks can be minimised for the benefit of both clients and installers/maintainers.

NSI experts will also be giving presentations in the main seminar theatres. Tony Weeks, NSI’s Head of Technical Services, will be sharing the findings from a new study on the potential public benefits from automating the transfer of alarm signals to police and other emergency services, commissioned by NSI and conducted independently by Perpetuity Research.

The research is intended to inform the debate about how best to deliver a fully automated electronic call handling service, with the aim of helping to reduce the response times and improve accuracy of emergency services to confirmed alarm activations.

Taking place in the FIREX Expertise and Guidance theatre at 12.05pm on 20 June is a presentation by NSI’s Head of Field Operations (Systems) John Davidson on the most common and serious issues fire risk assessors are coming across right now, and the value of contracting competent fire risk assessors who have the requisite third party certification.

NSI auditors will also be part of the adjudication team for the Engineers of Tomorrow competition held over the three days of the show. The competition has been broadened to include a fire safety skills test, so that it’s aligned more closely with the new apprenticeship standard Fire, Emergency and Security Systems Technicians Apprenticeship.

NSI’s Chief Executive, Richard Jenkins, will be presenting the heat winners’ prizes in the Keynote Arena at 4pm on Wednesday 20 June, following an introduction by journalist Frank Gardner.

“We are delighted to be an IFSEC partner once again and encourage NSI approved companies and others to attend this progressive event and to make the most of the unrivalled knowledge and experience under one roof, said Richard Jenkins.

“Our team of experts will be on hand ready to welcome visitors to our stand and to our seminars, sharing a wealth of expertise about standards, future industry initiatives and the value of independent certification.  We look forward to spending valuable time with industry colleagues old and new.”
