Almost as soon as the 2012 details were released online, the 28th February date for Chiltern International Fire's one-day training course 'Fire Doors Explained' sold out. The CPD-certified seminar, which covers steel, composite and timber fire doors, has always proved popular, but this year's interest in the course has 'surpassed all expectations'.

Deputy Technical Manager Mark Cummings said, 'Despite a difficult economic climate, the demand for training in this specialist area continues to increase. Fire Doors Explained provides an invaluable insight, serving a wide audience, from manufacturers, installers and designers of fire doorsets, to local authorities and building control inspectors.'

Further dates for 2012 are 17th April, 27th June, 19th September, 17th October and 21st November. The cost is unchanged at £310 + VAT (standard) with a discounted rate of £275 + VAT for TRADA and BM TRADA Q-Mark members. The course takes place at CIF's High Wycombe headquarters.

For provisional BM TRADA Q-Mark Fire Door Registered Installers, half-day seminars will take place on 29th February, 18th April, 28th June, 20th September, 18th October and 22nd November.

商廈防火設備簡陋

東方日報 : http://orientaldaily.on.cc/cnt/china_world/20111210/00180_002.html?pubdate=20111210

【本報綜合報道】加爾各答醫院大火造成重大傷亡,有人歸咎於院方安全意識薄弱,違法把大量易燃物品存放於停車場,造成慘劇。印度最近一份報告亦指出,當地商廈的防火設備普遍簡陋,民眾也漠視防火規條。而一名曾在火災痛失兒女的母親便力斥政府執法懶散,致慘劇一而再發生。

當局最近評估真奈市附近購物區的防火水平,結果發現逾百座商廈都不遵守防火規條,包括缺乏滅火筒、灑水器及走火通道,而且樓宇起得密麻麻,根本沒預留至少七米的火災緩衝區,供消防車停泊及雲梯架設之用。然而商戶對防火設施不足不以為然,一旦發生火災,後果便是災難性。

去年班加羅爾市一幢商廈起火致九人死亡,當時大樓內很多人都低估火勢。九七年德里戲院大火痛失兩名孩子的克里希納穆爾蒂稱醫院大火是「絕對可以避免」,都怪當局沒嚴懲違反防火法例的人。
