GEZE UK
has revised a piece of lifesaving learning - its popular RIBA-approved
CPD on specifying, installing and maintaining ironmongery for fire doors.
The
40-minute seminar explains what fire doors are, identifies their various
components, how they work, the standards and regulations which surround them
and why smoke is so dangerous.
It is
intended for Chartered members of RIBA but is also suitable for facilities
managers, property managers and architectural ironmongers and completely
updates the 2016 version.
It
incorporates the latest statistics for England, Wales, Scotland and Northern
Ireland, including the number of people that die from smoke inhalation every
year. It also highlights the latest regulations.
Andy
Howland, sales and marketing director for GEZE UK said: "This is an
essential development module because fire doors can save lives. More people die
from smoke inhalation than fire itself, especially when smoke can travel freely
through a building.
“Understanding
the effectiveness of fire doors, where they can be placed and how they should
be maintained, could ultimately save people’s lives.”
CPD
presentations can be arranged at architects’ practices at a time to suit
(usually lunchtime but breakfast seminars or afternoon sessions can be
accommodated). To find out more or to book a CPD seminar, email cpd@geze.com or

The
revised CPD fits into the core curriculum subjects of: Design, Construction and
Technology and Health, Safety and Wellbeing for the General Awareness knowledge
level.
Other
presentations offered by GEZE UK, include EN 16005 - Safeguarding Pedestrians
from Accidents at Power Operated Doorsets; Glass Door Assemblies - Selection
and Specification; Designing Effective Natural Heat and Smoke Ventilation and
Removing Barriers to Access and Air Pollution.
