Course overview and learning outcomes

The course will provide delegates with an understanding of sprinkler fire protection systems, the appropriate design criteria to satisfy the legislation/codes of practice and enable them to give advice upon request.

On completion of the course, delegates will be able to:

• Identify the guides and codes of practice which can give advice on the design and suitability of fire sprinkler systems.
• Determine the hazard classification of a building
• Evaluate the suitability and likely effectiveness of an installed fire sprinkler system in a building
• Provide suitable advice on fire sprinklers in commercial buildings

Who should attend and key benefits

• Have responsibility for advising on methods for achieving fire protection appropriate to the assessed fire risk within existing, proposed or altered premises
• Have responsibility for advising fire safety design submissions
• Be involved in auditing and advising on fire risk assessment in complex buildings

Delegates should ideally be engaged in a fire safety role, e.g. in commerce, industry or in local authority Fire & Rescue Services. It is suitable for persons engaged in the design, installation, maintenance, testing & approval of sprinkler systems.

The (Commercial) Sprinkler course is built around BS EN 12845 which covers the fire sprinkler design and installation details for commercial buildings.

Attendance will ensure delegates are current with both the legislation and best practice.
