Canterbury - Code of Practice - Passive Fire Protection Inspections Roadshow
We are proud to announce the release of our new Code of Practice Passive Fire Protection Inspections. This is the result of significant effort by our Working Group, supported by the valuable feedback provided by our members. We hope that this document can feed into the Compliance Schedule Handbook to help guide IQP’s and BWOF Auditors through the challenges they face doing Passive Fire Protection Inspections. We understand the challenges with both the size of some buildings, time taken to undertake inspections and the cost associated with it. We believe that this document is a workable solution for the industry.
This seminar is an opportunity to introduce the COP and to walk IQP’s BWOF Auditors and others through the various chapters and fully explain the process of using the COP. It will be a hands on workshop where we will go through the COP and also work through an example.
All members and non-members are welcome to attend at no cost - CPD available to ABC members only.
This event is scheduled to take place immediately after our Canterbury Regional Forum.
If you wish to attend both the Forum and Roadshow please follow this link to register.
