Yorkshire & Humberside branch - External wall systems

From our Yorkshire & Humberside branch


Join us for another free, online webinar event from our Yorkshire and Humberside branch. After last month's sold-out webinar on DSEAR and the Approved Code of Practice L138 (now available on the CPD Hub), the branch is back for another of it's monthly webinar series as they get ready to celebrate their one-year anniversary since the branch was established.

In this month's webinar, Branch President Joe Hart provides an overview of the legal framework behind the Fire Risk Appraisal of External Wall (FRAEW) process. The session includes an overview of the fire spread mechanisms in external walls and a practical run-through of the PAS9980 methodology. In the Early Careers session, Joe provides a description of different external wall types and case studies on prominent external wall fires.
