Fire Safety
Are you using all the tools available and deploying the best and latest technology solutions. This webinar will clarify and inform on how wireless is changing the landscape.Wireless fire detection technology has gone from strength the strength, and in recent years is now one of the fastest growing areas of fire safety, if not the fastest.What is driving this change, and why are specifiers, consultants and building managers choosing wireless based fire systems, when upgrading or changing an existing system?We will examine the phenomenon that is changing the face of fire safety, and how wireless is not just limited to a single system, but can be networked across many systems as well as being used to expand virtually any fire system, conventional or addressable, regardless of protocol or manufacture.If you are currently not using this technology, or thinking about wireless but not sure, this is a webinar you cannot miss. From initial surveys, designing and deploying, we will cover all aspects and hopefully clarify just how easy wireless fire technology is and how much you could be saving in both time and investment

Abrasives commonly used in metalworking processes are typically not regarded as a risk mitigation method. However, recent research has demonstrated that the latest technologies in new abrasives can significantly reduce risks.Theo Simon, a Global Application Engineer Specialist in abrasives at 3M, discusses how advancements in engineered abrasives and power tools in metalworking can help improve safety and productivity in the workplace.Chris Steel, HM Principal Inspector of Health & Safety (Noise & Vibration Specialist) will discuss the importance of controlling these risks to reduce exposure.This webinar addresses the complex health risks of Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS) and noise with the goal of simplifying its complexities and outlining actionable strategies to control vibration and noise exposure in metalworking processes.

EHS professionals face increasing pressure to do more with fewer resources, and traditional approaches to SDS and chemical management often create bottlenecks rather than insights. Manual processes, disconnected inventories and siloed data slow down decision-making and can increase hidden risks across operations.Watch this webinar for an informative webinar where we will explore how a digital-first approach to chemical management can turn SDS data into a driver of efficiency and smarter decision-making.Find out how organisations are streamlining workflows, connecting chemical data to assets, and unlocking real-time visibility across sites – elevating chemical safety to a source of strategic advantage.

This presentation explores the advanced capabilities of multi-sensor fire detectors and their critical role in enhancing fire safety.A key advantage of multi-sensor technology is its ability to reduce false alarms, particularly those caused by non-fire stimuli like vaping, aerosols, steam, and stage smoke. Research by BRE and the FIA has shown that multi-sensors can reduce false alarms by up to 69%, making them a cost-effective and reliable solution for settings prone to nuisance triggers, such as theatres, accommodation blocks, and educational institutions. Features like transient rejection and drift compensation further enhance their performance in challenging conditions.Testing and maintaining multi-sensor detectors requires careful attention to standards and best practices. Depending on the model and configuration, detectors may need to be tested sequentially—activating each sensor individually—or simultaneously, using tools that can apply combined stimuli. Standards such as BS 5839:1 emphasize the importance of using real stimuli and verifying that each sensor responds appropriately. Proper documentation, technician training, and access to system configurations are essential to ensure compliance and effectiveness.Ultimately, multi-sensor detectors represent a smarter approach to fire protection by combining multiple sensing technologies to improve detection accuracy and reduce unwanted alarms. Their adaptability, compliance with modern standards, and proven effectiveness in real-world applications make them a valuable asset in modern fire safety systems.

In an emergency, time is critical. Whether it’s fire, power failure, health emergency or unexpected event, the ability to respond quickly and safely can mean the difference between order and chaos - or even life and death. Yet, too often, evacuation planning is overlooked until it’s too late.This webinar explores the key elements of effective evacuation planning, including legal responsibilities, evacuation solutions and practical steps required to protect every individual — particularly those with limited mobility.By planning ahead, organisations can strengthen their emergency preparedness, meet compliance standards, and, most importantly, save lives. Join us to gain actionable insights that can make your evacuation procedures safer, smarter and more inclusive.
