The determination of the safety and legitimacy of cladding systems is complex and dependant upon many factors including country, building height, building type, building occupancy, and of course cladding system component combustibility. RISCAuthority’s Passive Working Group has developed an insurer questionnaire (IQ7: Cladding Systems) – that elicits the information required by anyone trying to assess risk, with particular attention paid to ensuring the methods are evidenced by submission of the necessary reports, standards, and design documents.

This short webinar was held to refresh all interested parties concerned with service and maintenance of sprinkler systems to meet current LPC standards for commerical and industrial properties.

This webinar will launch a new RISCAuthority/FPA guidance document aimed at ensuring that property protection and business resilience have been adequately considered during the design stage of a fire engineering solution and accompanying fire strategy.

The webinar will highlight the importance of supply chain management and introduce and explain how the RISCAuthority Supply Chain Risk Assessment Tool can be used to help businesses understand the risk with their supply chains.

Following the recent issue of updated LPC Technical Bulletins, this webinar is to inform the audience the technical aspects/changes and reasons behind the new updates.

Dr Jim Glockling discusses why watermist is unique amongst the suppression technologies as a background to understanding why its deployment will always demand much greater knowledge of the system, the environment it must work within, and the overall protection ambition. The challenges of making a comparison with sprinkler system protection, and the associated pitfalls, are also discussed.

A prime directive from the RISCAuthority Executive was to make the collection of insurance statistics more meaningful to the membership and to extend the remit to capture flood information. Listen again to the 1st of two webinars by Dr Jim Glockling detailing the improvements made to make it fit for capturing future likely emerging issues. A 2nd webinar will describe new analysis tools to make the extraction and interpretation of data easier.

Date: 1 October 2019. Running time: 46 minutes. In a follow up session to our previous webinar - LPC Sprinkler Rules Update – everything you need to know, this session features Dale Kinnersley answering your questions about the latest LPC Sprinkler Rules updates. Dale is our Principal Consultant responsible for suppression, technical issues, sprinkler inspections and sprinkler training, making him the best expert to answer your questions.

Date: 27 August 2019. Running time: 50 minutes. The technical guidance note for Residential Sprinkler Systems was created following the Grenfell tragedy to support the predicated uplift of installation of these systems in tall buildings. Dr Jim Glockling seeks to clarify the roles and responsibilities of all parties in accordance with the model laid out by Dame Judith Hackitt. He addresses some of the known identified issues in terms of responsibilities, competency, system specification, product selection and performance.
