Fire & Blast Protection Seminar
15/09/2008
Fire and blast protection is an increasingly important design consideration for specifiers, architects, insurance and risk managers involved in commercial and industrial construction projects. Latest figures available show that in 2006 alone almost 33,000 fires at commercial properties were recorded, resulting in 37 deaths, direct financial losses of £723m and business interruption costs of £148m.
The fire risks associated with industrial and manufacturing environments are considered to be even broader than those of commercial buildings, while high profile commercial and tall multi-function buildings can be considered to be terrorist targets.
Promat, a world leader in the field of fire and blast protection, is hosting a free half-day seminar at the RIBA HQ in London on the 5th November this year.
