Available on demand: Skills for Security’s series of technical training webinars are an opportunity to upskill your knowledge, whilst gaining a recognised accredited certificate for participating.
Learn about everything from the importance of surveying sites and designing a compliant intruder alarm system, to ensuring customer and site requirements are properly documented, and how to identify the correct equipment to comply with system grading for both intruder alarm installations and signalling.
In this webinar you will:
Develop a step-by-step process for carrying out a survey
Learn how to carry out a Security Risk Assessment
Identify the right equipment to meet customer and grading requirements
Learn about the required documentation for a survey
Get an introduction to signalling surveying and grading
Discover the different transmission types for signalling, including IP, GPRS, GSM and PSTN, gather key information on the analogue switch-off of our telephone network and how this will affect security systems, and technical information on the standards, grading and classifications used for signalling.
In this webinar you will learn:
The purpose of signalling to an ARC
How to identify the ATS paths used to transmit signals to an ARC
The requirements, standards and codes of practice for ATE and URN
Learn about the role of a fire risk assessor and competency in fire risk assessments, as well as the design, installation, maintenance standards and design classification for fire alarm systems, including the relevant standards for audible and visual warning devices.
Attend this webinar and learn:
The purpose of a fire alarm system
The system protection categories and protection levels required for a building
The use case, spacing, and zoning requirements for smoke and heat detection
Ways in which false alarms can be managed and reduced
The documentation used to design, maintain, and install a fire alarm system
Learn all about risk assessments: how they help you design systems, the importance of site surveys and the purpose of grading. Get information on the key areas of system design and learn what documentation should be included within your design proposal.
Attend this webinar to learn:
Why a risk assessment is used within VSS surveys and the design process
What operational requirements are and why we need them
What a site survey achieves
What should be included within a system design proposal (SDP)
The documentation required when surveying and designing a system
In January 2016, I laid down my tools and moved into sales and design. It was a steep learning curve, but the opportunity to see another side of the industry was fully embraced. I was responsible for Business Development in Scotland, but also looking after a number of Key National Contracts, all of which allowed me to develop an understanding of how a business runs. It gave me perspective on the importance of a good design, and the importance of complying with Industry Standards and CoP when delivering and maintaining system.
In January of 2018, I moved on from Kings Secure Technologies to Marlowe Fire and Security. It was a decision taken to develop my skillset and to gain experience within different market sectors, moving away from high street retail and into Large Projects, Hotel & Leisure and Private Sector businesses.
Previously, my knowledge was predominately based around IP VSS and Access Control Systems, but I found myself becoming more heavily involved with Fire Suppression and Life Safety Systems Design. Marlowe provided with opportunities to see the industry is a different way where before I was protecting premises, now I was protecting lives. Near the end of my time at Marlowe, I was involved with the delivery of multiple Fire CPD’s for M&E Contractors with both Notifier and Gent between Scotland and the North. Which at the time unknowingly lead to where I am today.
Following an unexpected opportunity to enter Education, I now find myself passing on my experience and knowledge to the younger generation of aspiring Engineers. The Education sector has so far allowed me to continue to grow both as a teacher and as a learner with yet another new perspective on industry. I now have the chance to engage with employers and industry bodies in a way I could not before. I can be involved in upskilling existing engineers and inspiring new ones. My goal now is to help educate the Fire and Security Sector as a whole, to bring a higher standard and a new quality to the industry, and to learn as much as I can along the way.
