Free security seminars and trade shows
As part of its continuing commitment to training and education, ADI Global Distribution UK is hosting a series of four free Continuous Professional Development (CPD) Fire Security seminars and tradeshows in March 2011, focusing on the fire industry legislation.
Each event will feature seven educational CPD seminars and a trade show. The trade show enables attendees to have face-to-face discussions with leading manufacturers and trade organisations. Seminars have been designed to help decision makers in fire security to understand the various laws and regulations relating to the implementation of fire detection and alarm systems. They also enable existing CPD members to add to their required 35 hours of training.
The seminars are taking place in conjunction with the CPD Service covering subjects such as false alarm reduction and emergency lighting. They are sponsored by key emergency lighting and fire product suppliers/manufacturers including Apollo, Morley IAS, SPEL, Sterling Safety, Fike, Xtralis and C-TEC. The events are also supported by the British Fire Consortium, BAFE, the SSAIB and the NSI.
The dates and venues are as follows:
• Glasgow - 2 March 2011
• Newcastle - 3 March 2011
• Leeds - 8 March 2011
