About this Conference

This year’s conference will examine critically important issues regarding fire safety management. From holistic fire strategies, risk assessment and statistics, and evacuation preparation, to chemical safety. We will explore legislation such as Part B in relation to lifts/elevators, we will discuss important laws regarding furniture/furnishings, and much more.

This conference will provide expert and experience-driven guidance on several issues relating to fire safety, management, and risk assessment, and would be of huge value to fire professionals in Ireland.

This is a unique live-streamed event from our own custom-built CMG Studios. Feedback from attendees has been overwhelmingly positive, with attendees praising the additional interactive elements, as well as increased Q&A opportunities throughout the day, giving you more opportunity to gain real practical insights on the key issues that are important to you.
