QUANTUM FLOORING’S STAIRWAY SAFETY CPD
Quantum Flooring’s Stairway Safety CPD looks at the guidelines for the correct specifi cation of stair nosings, and other aspects of steps and staircases. This CPD deals with the subject of how to make commercial, public, or shared stairways safe, and meet all current Building Regulations, British Standards and Equality Act guidelines. The seminar explores key selection requirements such as slip resistance, LRVs in terms
of both safety and design, step shape, protection of fl oorcoverings, and other important issues with regard to specifying stair nosings. It also looks at current best practice guidelines, with examples of specifi cations and projects which meet these standards. The Stairway Safety CPD covers four of the ten mandatory RIBA core curriculum syllabus topics: Health, safety and wellbeing; Legal, regulatory and statutory compliance; Design, construction and technology; Inclusive environments. A Q&A is included at the end of the seminar, to answer any specifi c queries you may have about the subject matter. This CPD is available both online and in person, at a time to suit your practice.
ROCKWOOL, one of the UK’s leading stone wool insulation manufacturers, has launched an ‘Introduction to BS 5422’, a new CPD (Continuing Professional Development) module to support specifi ers and engineers with advice on how to plan and implement the insulation of building services systems following a recent update to the standard. The CPD coincides with the recent publication of ROCKWOOL’s Guide to BS 5422:2023.

BS 5422 provides a method for specifying thermal insulating materials needed on pipes, tanks, vessels, ductwork and equipment for certain defi ned applications and conditions within the temperature range – 40°C to +700°C in domestic, non-domestic and commercial buildings. The standard works as guidance for consultants, engineers, contractors and manufacturers of thermal insulation in the building services sector. It supports Approved Document L as the reference point to determine the minimum thickness of insulation required to limit heat losses and gains from building services. ROCKWOOL’s new CPD module explores the factors that need to be considered when deciding on the insulation of building services systems according to BS 5422. It also demonstrates how the standard aims to improve the living and working environment of the building as well as make it safer and more energy effi cient. “With BS5422:2023, the insulation requirements for building services
and HVAC systems have been aligned closely with current thermal Building Regulations,” comments Will Wigfi eld, Product Manager – Fire Protection & HVAC at ROCKWOOL UK. “The new CPD will explain how the standard makes it easier for designers and specifi ers to choose the most appropriate material for each project and allow them to exceed the minimum requirements if they wish.”
