This webinar will examine the process fire safety engineers follow in developing fire safety strategies for buildings and holistic fire safety designs, following the recently published Australian Fire Engineering Guidelines (AFEG), the latest ABCB draft of the Code of Conduct for Fire Safety Engineers, and ABCB advice on stakeholder involvement in the development of Performance Solutions and holistic design.
The webinar will examine the interaction between the 25 fire related NCC Performance Requirements and the 15 Critical Factors highlighted in the latest NCC CPD course on fire safety. It will emphasize the importance of fire safety engineers and fire system designers working very closely together to achieve the best project outcomes and the major benefits to building owners and consumers from their early involvement in holistic design.
The webinar will also address the issues of development of Performance Solutions and the dangers in developing Performance Solutions as alternatives to strict compliance with Australian Standards for fire safety systems, such as sprinklers and detection systems, for which system performance is only ever established by laboratory tests.
