Upcoming Webinars

Fire Safety in the UK and European Hotel Industry

– free to attend

When: Wed 26 February 2025 @ 10am – 12pm

Where: Register here

Following the tragic Grand Kartal Hotel fire in the Turkish ski resort of Kartalkaya in Bolu which killed 78 tourists following a string of fire protection failures, the Fire Knowledge Webinar: Fire Safety in the UK and European Hotel Industry could not be more timely.

The tragedy in Bolu points to a complete breakdown of a fire safety culture with a failure of the building’s wooding cladding, a critical failure in the smoke alarm system activation, a non-existent automatic sprinkler system which was meant to be installed in 2008, and varying reports on the speed of response time. That is not to mention the standards and legislative compliance issues which are the subject of a criminal investigation.

For:

Anyone interested in fire safety considerations for different types of hotels and the appropriate fire detection and suppression systems for each type. The webinar will look at advances in fire detection technologies such as smoke, heat and flame detectors; the different types of fire suppression systems such as sprinklers, foam and CO2 and selecting the right systems for different hotel environments. The event will consider laws and regulations, the impact of false alarms, the role of fire risk assessments and emergency response times, all captured in promoting a fire safety culture.
