RIBA-approved CPD seminars on fire curtains offered by Coopers Fire
13 September 2022
GIVEN THE increased focus on fire safety at present, it’s important that all involved with the built environment are aware of the latest fire protection products and their correct application as well as how fire protection could be improved throughout the construction cycle. With this in mind, Coopers Fire is offering free RIBA-approved Continuing Professional Development (CPD) seminars on ‘Active Fire Curtain Barriers’.

The seminar content is hosted on Zoom and will be available to anyone who wishes to gain a greater understanding of passive fire protection and the wider standards to be aware of as well as how, where and why a fire curtain may be used in a variety of locations within a construction project.
From compartmentation through to protecting a means of escape, this educational seminar will illustrate when and where fire curtain barriers can be specified within the built environment. A review of a fire curtain’s operation, installation and continuous servicing requirements affords delegates an opportunity to ask pressing and topical questions.
The seminar covers numerous key areas, among them:
*What is passive fire protection?
*Regulations for passive fire protection
*Fire curtains as a solution
*Performance classifications
*Standards and compliance
*Typical applications
Coopers Fire is a British company that manufactures smoke and fire curtain barrier systems in the UK for installation and commissioning worldwide. The company invented and patented the Gravity Fail Safe Smoke and Fire Curtain, which has become the benchmark for most smoke and fire curtain systems sold around the world today.
Due to the high performance and reliability of Coopers Fire’s products, they have been specified and installed for landmark buildings including The Shard, the Dubai Mall and the Sydney Opera House.
Coopers Fire’s products are fully compliant with BS 8524 Parts 1 and 2, which is the only British Standard for fire curtains, and continues to increase its smoke and fire curtain product range for other relevant worldwide standards.
