Emergi-Lite - CPD / Seminar Information

All Emergi-Lite CPDs below conform with the following:

Duration: CPDs last on average 1hr unless stated otherwise

Accreditation: CIBSE

Emergency Lighting, Testing & Monitoring - Electrical

The course will detail the correct procedures for testing and monitoring of all emergency lighting, according to British Standards. With the new legislation, there is a requirement to efficiently test and maintain the emergency lighting system and record the results. We will take you through the Work Place Directive 31.12.1992, the procedures and frequency of testing as specified in 'Code of Practice' BS 5266 Part 1 and British Standard EN 50172:2004.

In addition, you will learn which methodologies are best used to maximise the effectiveness and efficiency of installations. Minimum levels of test are required but automated test systems provide more control and detailed information. These, along with a level of automated test records, give an effective solution to testing needs. In addition, service, test and maintenance programmes are necessary to ensure the system is fully operational and any repairs are carried out as soon as possible.

The course is fully interactive and we will cover the crucial information you need to know to successfully implement a strategy for the testing and monitoring of your emergency lighting installations.

Central Battery Systems - Electrical

Many changes have come about within the lighting and emergency lighting industry with greater emphasis on decorative feature lighting, energy efficiency and lighting control.

The CPD seminar aim to educate personnel to the latest methods of emergency lighting supply, distribution, control and addressable testing with the emphasis on low cost maintenance, functionality, failsafe design and current regulatory reform.

Topics covered will include: Types of system and their best application, lighting control design, addressable testing solution design and benefits, energy efficiency by use of passive stand-by operation, luminaire types/application and current EN/BS standards relating to emergency lighting design using central battery.

ICEL Risk Assessment - Electrical

With this course, you will gain an understanding of how risk assessment will affect the way you need to look at the design and specification for all emergency lighting projects in the future, and what that could mean to your businesses and to yourselves. If you don't understand these risks as part of your design process, you will not be able to comply with the legal requirements in place to protect the occupants and you will be unable to minimise potential damage to property.

As risk assessment is now being driven by the changing standards and the fire reform, you need to understand what it involves, including critical factors such as who is responsible for maintenance against that risk assessment and identifying the RP (Responsible Person) and CP (Competent Person). These are all questions that need to be answered and they are all explained and discussed with you in detail in this course.

Changes to Fire Alarms Standard BS 5839 - Electrical

In this course, you will be updated on the changes to BS 5839 and also the changes in the FSO and its implications when offering a fire alarm design to your clients. These new changes are very important when doing a design. A lack of understanding of the implications can be very costly to all parties. The changes that have followed the demise of the fire certificate and the launch of the FSO have a huge impact when applying the changes to BS 5839 to your design to your clients.

Not only do you have to consider the UK code of practice for system design, installation and commissioning, but also maintenance and such items as focusing on false alarm reduction, defining system categories and fire systems type. All of these are detailed in this presentation along with all other essential factors for consideration.

Selecting the Right Detectors - Electrical

To aid you in meeting all of the new standards when you are designing a fire alarm system. We will take you through how to select the right detector, depending on application, with the ultimate aim of helping to minimise the incidence of false alarms. All fires must have the three properties to start in the first place i.e.. oxygen, source of ignition (heat) and combustible material. All three properties need to be taken into account when selecting the right detector.

You will also have to take into consideration risk factors such as the areas where a fire could develop, whether it could develop rapidly, or be slow burning eg. Smoldering types. With the latter case, thought is needed on whether, under normal conditions, these areas are likely to have high levels of smoke or steam, are they clean or are the high levels of dust, etc. These factors make it essential that the correct detector is selected in your design and we will take you through all of the different options.
