Learn about the application of metal web joists in floors and roofs. The advantages over alternative joist systems; the unique attributes of Posi-Joists, how far they will span, important design details, their acoustic performance and details of relevant Standards and Regulations.

This CPD from Bilco UK considers: Designing safe access to the roof; Safe movement around the roof; Special ladder applications; An overview of latest building regulations; How to use natural smoke ventilators for infrequent roof access; Plan it, design it, specify it – safe access all around the building envelope.

This CPD delves into the various causes of roof fires, alongside understanding the inherent risks associated with the installation of commonly used flat roofing systems. It is tailored for architects, specifiers, and stakeholders engaged in the build or refurbishment or management of flat roofs, with a primary emphasis on fire safety considerations. Delegates will be equipped with essential knowledge and strategies for mitigating the risk of fire in flat roofing systems. By the end of this presentation, you should: – Understand the Regulatory Landscape and The Building Safety Act, ensuring compliance and safety in roofing projects. – Gain insights into the workings of BS EN 13501-5 Test 4 and the significance of BroofT4 certification when evaluating roofing materials’ fire performance. – Understand the pivotal role of third-party accreditation in ensuring quality, reliability, and compliance within the roofing industry. – Discover the benefits of collaborative engagement with manufacturers to optimize the specification process, ensuring seamless project execution.

If a fire takes hold within a roof, there is an increased chance that the entire building will be lost – resulting in additional human, economic and social impacts. This CPD focusses on providing an understanding of the major risks and causes of roof fires, and how these can be mitigated using non-combustible insulation solutions.
