IFEDA Conference & Safety Management UK

Safety Management UK will be at the IFEDA national conference on 4th October, will you?

They have developed a tablet and web-based fire risk assessment tool which can be used by extinguisher and alarm engineers as well as those with general fire safety knowledge. The software is an easy to use portable software solution which provides the user with hints and tips to each question, helping them complete the assessments. The system can provide management reports and allows the user to manage the significant findings and residual works from the fire risk assessments as well as allowing management monitoring of reports for properties around the country.

All welcome to this free event.

IFEDA National Conference

Further to the flyer below I am delighted to announce that the latest speaker to sign up for the National Conference on 4th October in Telford is Wilf Butcher. Wilf is the

Chief Executive Officer for the Association for Specialist Fire Protection and will be giving a talk on elements of passive fire protection e.g. fire doors, retro fitting of passive fire products etc.

Being a not for profit organization IFEDA's afternoon talks are free to both members and non members alike. However there is a nominal charge of £20 should a non-member wish to join us for the buffet lunch at 12:30 -  a great net-working opportunity and a chance to see the products and information from our associated members and (where applicable) speakers.

Please contact the IFEDA national Office for details.
