From our Yorkshire & Humberside branch
Join us for 2025's last webinar in the Yorkshire & Humberside branch's webinar series. This
free, online webinar event will be hosted by branch president Joe Hart as he explores the principles, processes, and applications of fire strategies - with a particular focus on retrospective fire strategies for existing buildings.
Early careers session 14:30-15:00
This session begins with a 30 minute early-careers session that outlines what a fire strategy is, its purpose within the design and regulatory process, and the essential components of a comprehensive fire strategy report. Although this is an early-careers focused session, it is open to anyone interested.
Main webinar 15:00-16:00
This will be followed by a one-hour technical session delving deeper into both standard and retrospective fire strategies, exploring how engineering assessments are developed, reviewed, and applied across a range of building types and scenarios.
