Globally renowned life-safety systems manufacturer, C-TEC, is heading up a live London Build Online panel discussion.

Managing Home fire risks

Featuring a host of top industry experts, innovators, and influencers, ‘Raising the grade: the evolution of fire protection in residential dwellings - how new fire detection and alarm system technology can better protect people and property’ webinar will take place on Thursday, 18th March 2021, at 1.30 pm and focus on the following key topics:-

  • How new fire detection and alarm system technology can be utilized to make people safer post-Grenfell.
  • How property can be better protected, reducing the societal loss of people’s homes and the need for re-housing and care following a fire.
  • Why interfacing local ‘Grade C’ monitored fire alarm systems to a landlord system with cloud-based connectivity benefits building occupants, landlords, firefighters, and other stakeholders.
  • Why it is vital to consider all of a dwelling’s occupants, current and future, to ensure systems are inclusive and meet the demands of the Equality Act.

Real-life applications of fire protection technology

The panel will also review real-life applications where new technology is being used in residential buildings to great effect and question why, despite its proven success, there appears to be reluctance by some to use it.

Andrew (Andy) Scott, C-TEC’s Projects Director, said “We are delighted to be hosting a London Build Online panel discussion as it’s a fantastic opportunity to examine the issues raised by Grenfell and explore how new technology can be used to protect people and property in the future.

Andy Scott adds, “As the panel will be taking live questions from the audience throughout, I’m confident it will be a super-interactive, stimulating and engaging session, and certainly of interest to anyone involved in managing fire risk in residential buildings.
