A building occupant warning system (BOWS) is critical to alert
occupants of a fire event so that they can commence evacuation of
the building. A BOWS consists of equipment and devices that provide
audible and visual alarms to occupants of a building, upon the
receipt of a fire alarm signal from a fire detection system or
device or manual activation. Emergency warning systems and sound
systems for emergency purposes are also BOWS.
With the release of the NCC 2019 referenced 2018 edition of AS
1670.1 (Fire Detection, warning, control and intercom
systems - System design, installation and commissioning -
Part 1 Fire), the Deemed to Satisfy (DtS) requirements of Building
Occupant Warning Systems (Clause 3.22) have
changed.
Do you know if
the Emergency Warning System or Building Occupant Warning System
equipment you are purchasing, installing, approving or certifying
is compliant?

victims.

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.
