On average, more than one preventable fire related death occurs
in a residential context every week in Australia.
This has been described as a diffuse disaster, yet there has
been no collaborative national research since 2005 and very limied
analysis regarding the demographic features and comorbities of
victims.
This presentation will focus on the key findings of the
research.
*Due to the important nature of this webinar, FPA
Australia have decided to make this webinar free to all members
and non-members. Although this will mean that CPD points will not
be available. FPA Australia apologises for any inconvenience this
may cause.

The control and management of fire and smoke within a building
during a fire is very important for the life safety of occupants,
while they are evacuating from a building. Fire curtains are
frequently used to form part of a buildings' smoke hazard
management system. The approval of these systems are
typically via the use of Performance Solutions.
Fire curtains are often misunderstood and are usually the first
to blame when they do not operate or perform as they are required
to. When very often the reason is the adverse impact of other
building systems, building/architectural features or furnishings on
the fire curtains that create the problem.
This webinar is aimed at improving your understanding of the key
operational and performance requirements/criteria of fire
curtains.
If you engineer, design, approve or service fire curtains you will
find this webinar very informative.
*Members include individuals and companies
that hold Corporate, Franchise, Professional, Organisation or
Individual FPA Australia membership.
Please note, FPA Australia membership is different to
FPA Australia's FPAS accreditation, such as FPAS Fire Safety
Assessor or Fire Systems Design accreditations. See here for

Oxygen Reduction Fire Prevention Systems - Live Webinar
Proudly supported by LPG Fire Australia
A 60 minute live webinar presented by Karl Peek of LPG
Fire Australia
Details

The prevention, control and/or management of a fire within a
building is very important for the life safety of occupants and the
protection of property and goods within the building.
Oxygen Reduction Fire Prevention Systems are becoming more
frequently considered and used as an alternative to traditional
fire protection systems. These systems take a very different
approach to fire protection and life safety, than do traditional
fire protection systems. They are typically approved via the use of
Performance Solutions.
Where traditional fire protection systems such as sprinklers or
gaseous fire suppression systems activate to control or extinguish
a fire after it has started, Oxygen Reduction Fire Prevention
Systems are designed to create and maintain an oxygen-reduced
atmosphere in an enclosure that can prevent the ignition of
combustibles within the protected area, while maintaining a safe
environment for the occupants.
Oxygen Reduction Fire Prevention Systems are not widely known or
understood. This webinar is aimed at improving your understanding
of these systems, key operational and performance criteria. If part
of your work includes aspects of fire protection of life safety,
you will find this webinar very informative.
*Members include individuals and companies
that hold Corporate, Franchise, Professional, Organisation or
Individual FPA Australia membership.
Please note, FPA Australia membership is different to
FPA Australia's FPAS accreditation, such as FPAS Fire Safety
Assessor or Fire Systems Design accreditations. See here for
