FIREX 2023 (16-18 May) is almost here, and it's shaping up to be an incredible show! But with so much happening, even experienced FIREX-goers might need some guidance.
To make things easier, I've picked out some of my top event highlights that you wouldn't want to miss. Check them out:
- Fire safety measures â the residentâs view (11AM, Tues 16 May). Hear residentsâ experiences of the building safety crisis. How can fire professionals support?
- Is our reliance on lithium-ion batteries safe or sustainable? The exponential rise in e-vehicles has created a new fire safety risk. Hear from Matt Humby on what can be done.
- The ASFPâs Passive Fire Experience â the leading passive fire protection association will bring its virtual reality simulator. Yes, you read that correctly â VR is coming to FIREX!
- Building Safety Act â knowing your responsibilities (11:45AM, Thurs 18 May). Lawyers offer crucial legal advice on the new responsibilities the Building Safety Act 2022 places on responsible persons and fire risk assessors.
- Catching up with the key associations â As always, the opportunity to network and share ideas are vital to the evolution of the fire industry. You can do that with all the major fire safety associations at FIREX â the FIA Networking Bar and FPA InfoZone are always visitor favourites!
- And donât forget, FIREX has taken the decision to fully commit to supporting and promoting third-party approvals. All companies exhibiting with relevant products need to hold recognised certifications, so you know youâre in a competent and accredited environment at the show.
