GCC UAE branch - The value of standards

From our GCC UAE branch


Join us for this free, online webinar exploring the importance of standards and understanding when they need to be applied.

Standards underpin almost everything in fire and life safety, yet their true value is often tested under pressure: on the incident ground, across the design review table, or in the aftermath of a fire when we need to understand what happened and why.

Overview


This session will explore:
  • Applying standards under pressure, when time, information and resources are limited
  • Developing training and competency so that standards become second nature, not a checklist
  • Using standards effectively in design reviews to drive safer outcomes
  • The role of standards in post-incident analysis and what they reveal when things go wrong
