A new
online CPD certified presentation that looks at the benefits of automatic fire
sprinklers has been created by the BSA (Business Sprinkler Alliance).
The CPD –

Background & Benefits’ – is a 25 minute long video that providers viewers
with an awareness of the beneficial impact that incorporating sprinklers can
have and how they can add value to building design.
It
addresses how sprinklers work, typical myths and misconceptions, cost and
regulations and looks at the impact of fire on businesses and how sprinklers
can aid the design process.
Suitable
for anyone involved in the procurement, design and construction of a building
including developers, contractors, surveyors, architects and consultants, the
video includes a specific chapter looking at design considerations for office
applications include worked examples showing cost implications.
“Automatic
sprinklers offer a proven way of protecting property as well as providing life
safety,” commented Iain Cox, Chairman of the Business Sprinkler Alliance.
“However there are many myths and misconceptions about their operation,
effectiveness as well as cost. This presentation addresses these misconceptions
whilst providing practical design guidance to help specifiers, contractors and
engineers understand how sprinklers can add value to their next project.”
