Introducing Our New CPD - Smoke Control Systems: Principles, Pitfalls and Protection

We’re pleased to announce the latest addition to our series of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) courses, Smoke Control Systems: Principles, Pitfalls and Protection.

Designed to provide a practical overview of smoke control systems and their role in protecting life and property, this free CPD explores the key principles behind smoke movement, smoke ventilation and pressurisation systems, as well as the standards and regulations that govern their design and operation.

Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of the different types of smoke control systems, including natural and mechanical ventilation, and how they are applied across a range of environments.

The session also examines the essential components used within smoke control systems, common design and installation pitfalls, and best practice approaches to ongoing maintenance and compliance. 

The CPD also covers relevant UK regulations and standards, including Approved Document B, BS EN 12101, BS 7346-8, BS 9991 and BS 9999, helping attendees better understand the responsibilities involved in delivering compliant and effective smoke control strategies. 

So, whether you’re a consultant, specifier, facilities manager, installer, fire risk assessor, fire engineer, or otherwise involved in fire safety and building protection, this CPD will strengthen your understanding of smoke control systems and the important role they play in modern fire safety design. 

As a leader in fire safety solutions, Advanced is committed to supporting industry professionals with the knowledge and tools needed to create safer buildings and improve fire safety outcomes.
