This year sees Firexpo hosting a three-day workshop with key industry leaders presenting on various topics.
Fire protection plays a critical role in safeguarding property and lives. Through advanced detection technology solutions, active systems like sprinklers and fire extinguishers provide rapid response to flames and smoke. Passive measures, such as smoke barriers, are strategically integrated into building designs to minimise the impact of fires.
Additionally, fire safety risk experts assess vulnerabilities in critical infrastructure, ensuring resilience and maintaining connectivity during emergencies.
Day 1 explores key advancements in job management software, IoT enabled fire detection, digital record keeping and asset management.
Day 2 covers Building Safety, latest safety standards and issues relating to battery storage. Passive Fire Protection is fundamental to the safety of a building and those residing within, making abiding to the latest safety standards critical. On this day, we will explore industry best practices and essential processes undertaken by manufacturers to ensure continued compliance as well as fire safety and protection standards which dictate the fire safety and prevention equipment that should be installed in a building depending on its size.
Day 3 covers fire safety, training and prevention; this will include topics such as fire hazard identification (primary and secondary ignition sources), Safe storage of materials, particularly combustible gasses and flammable objects, assessment of high-risk procedures, like welding, grinding, and blasting, occupant behaviour in buildings such as smoking on the premises or lack of safety and housekeeping measures and the importance of fire safety training programs as well as digital tools for effective fire safety training.
Speakers include Tim de Witt of TDW International Fire Consultancy, Kobus Strydom of FireLab, Rob Penney of Synertech, Tiaan Jansen van Rensburg of OTN Systems, Ferdi Jansen of Brigit Fire, De Wet Engelbrecht of Fire Ops SA, Wynand Engelbrecht of Fire Ops SA, Boet Hamman of Fenco Fire Engineers and Consultants, Martin Venter of OTN Systems, Karel Roodt of The Fire Engineer, Jacques Labuschagne of SE Controls, Brett Birch of SAQCC Fire, Marius Atterbury of FPASA, Trevor Fiford of Industrial Fire and Hazard Control and Marius Janse van Rensburg of Advanced Fixed Systems
(AFST).
