C10M10 - NHS Health Care Premises (Hospitals) - BS 5839-1 & SHTM82 Fire Detection & Fire Alarms
Course description
Learners will develop knowledge of FD&FA systems and apply this to the provision of detection and alarms within NHS healthcare premises. This CPD course provides an enhanced understanding of the requirements of SHTM 82 (Scottish Health Technical Memorandum) and, BS 5839-1 in relation to the provision of appropriate detection and alarms within hospital sites.
On completion, learners will have demonstrated an understanding of the detection & alarm design of FD&FA elements within hospital environments through practical design and knowledge assessments.
Who should attend?
Anyone involved in the design, installation, commissioning, maintenance, or management of FD&FA systems within hospital environments e.g., FM providers, service managers, building/property managers, consultants, fire risk assessors, fire alarm contractors, and fire alarm designers. The course provides detailed knowledge of specific requirements of FD&FA provision in compliance with SHTM 82 within hospital environments, as such knowledge and experience of BS 5839-1 would be of advantage.

Assessment
Fire and security engineer training is essential for individuals who are responsible for designing, installing, maintaining, and commissioning fire and security systems.
Ember Compliance specialises in providing comprehensive training programs for fire and security engineers. In this blog, we will discuss the importance of fire and security engineer training and how Ember Compliance can provide a comprehensive training program.
Importance of Fire and Security Engineer Training:
Ensuring System Functionality:
Fire and security engineer training is essential for ensuring that fire and security systems are designed, installed, and maintained correctly. Proper training can help engineers understand the complexities of fire and security systems and ensure that they are functioning correctly.
Maintaining Compliance:
Our training can help engineers understand legal and regulatory requirements, ensuring that fire and security systems meet compliance standards. Proper training can help engineers stay up-to-date with changing regulations and requirements.
Improving Safety:
Proper training can help improve the safety of buildings and the people inside them. Fire and security systems are critical in preventing loss of life and property damage, and properly trained engineers can ensure that these systems function correctly.
