Fire and safety seminar - The changing face of regulation in building control and fire safety
- Date: 15 April 2010
- Venue: Engineers Ireland, 22 Clyde Road, Dublin 4
- Seminar aim: This one day seminar will focus on the recent changes in the regulation of building control. Presentations will address changes such as the introduction of disability access certificates, the new fire safety certificates and on how these changes might impact on fire safety design and the concept of ‘access/egress for all’ as set out in the proposed revisions to part M of the building regulations and TGD-M. It will also examine some specific fire safety engineering design challenges and will include BS5588/BS9999, smoke ventilation, case studies etc.
- Who should attend: The seminar is addressed at professional engineers and architects, fire safety engineers, access/egress designers, building control officers, fire prevention officers, contractors, engineering students and regulators. It will be an opportunity for those interested in solving problems in the practice of building design and of fire safety engineering to meet other professionals and to update themselves on current thinking in this area.
