Leading hardware manufacturer HOPPE UK now offers architects and other specifiers a RIBA-approved Continuous Professional Development (CPD) training on Lever Handles and Liability.
The training, which can be carried out as a seminar at any location, covers the importance of specifying the correct lever handles to comply with legislation, regulatory guidelines, building regs and fire regulations.
It also advises specifiers of door hardware how best to limit their liability
The training can be carried out in seminar format by HOPPE’s team of specialist architectural ironmongery representatives on the architectural practice’s own premises. It has been assessed by RIBA as meeting the high quality standards required to conform to strict CPD guidelines and can be counted by architects, architectural ironmongers and other specifiers towards their annual CPD requirements.
The presentation covers some of the things that can go wrong with lever handles – unsuitable for access, incorrect performance grade, inappropriate standard for fire doors, amongst others – and the myriad the legislation covering handles. And, crucially, it focuses on what specifiers can do to ensure they specify the right handle every time and reduce their exposure to liability if a problem occurs.
