Kidde has launched a programme of independently accredited CPD
presentations and discussion documents to help all those involved with housing
rethink their approach to fire and carbon monoxide alarms.
With several – often conflicting – regulations and standards currently
under review, Kidde’s new CPD programme will help housebuilders, housing
providers and other specifiers understand the issues involved.
One certainty in this uncertain regulatory environment is that smoke,
heat and CO alarms offer the first line of defence against fire or carbon
monoxide in all types of housing, providing critical early warning at low
costs.
But the right provision of alarms – to detect fire or CO, and also
ensure that occupants are alerted throughout the home – is critical.
Here, Kidde’s independently certified CPD presentations and ‘Guide to regulations & standards’
documents covering smoke/heat alarms and CO alarms, can help.
In addition to reviewing current minimum requirements, topical issues
and conflicts between the various current and proposed standards and
regulations are addressed as ‘Talking Points’
to help readers question recommendations and make their own judgements.
