www.sikkens-wood-coatings.co.uk Fire safety seminar exposes industry knowledge gap
A survey following a series of in-depth presentations at the recent Housebuilders’ Fire Protection Seminar – hosted by European specialist supplier to the construction, building and industrial markets, SIG plc – has revealed that there may be a knowledge gap amongst housebuilders regarding the correct specification and installation of fire-stopping measures. Taking place at the impressive Saddlers’ Hall in London, the event saw SIG joined by the Children’s Burns Trust, the Chief Fire Officers Association and the Association for Specialist Fire Protection (ASFP), to speak about the threat of fire in residential buildings, and what this means for housebuilders. The topics covered included fire protection best practice, looking at the consequences of non-compliance and the need to have workers correctly assessed for competency in the installation of passive fire protection elements. Taking the stage to open the event, Paul Gordon, Managing Director of SIG Distribution asked the audience whether they believed their projects had appropriate fire-stopping, repeating the question once the event concluded. From the beginning to the end of the seminar, the number of attendees that agreed shifted from 72 per cent to just 40 per cent, showing the current knowledge gap in the industry.
