Fire extinguishers are often the first line of defense when combating a fire in the workplace. Ensuring that your team is properly trained on fire extinguisher use is critical, and required by OSHA. During this seminar, we will discuss fire extinguisher installation and specifications, risk management, and proper extinguisher use. And, we will offer a free demonstration of BullsEye, a revolutionary training system that can better prepare your employees for a fire emergency.

A fire sprinkler system is a critical part to protecting your personnel and property, and it must be properly inspected and maintained. During this seminar, we will discuss types of sprinkler systems, and the types of facilities they are designed for. We will then delve into the NFPA requirements for inspection, testing, and maintenance of these important fire safety systems.

Some fire protection systems need fire pumps to maintain an adequate water supply by increasing pressure for fire suppression. Faulty pump suction, malfunctioning valve alarms, or improperly operating relief valves can all contribute to failure of a fire pump and spell disaster. During this training, we will discuss the different types of fire pumps, and their inspection, testing, and maintenance requirements.

In addition to meeting NFPA requirements and state and local codes, healthcare facility directors and managers also have to meet the standards of their healthcare accreditation organization, such as the Joint Commission or HFAP. During this training, we will discuss the requirements that these two prominent organizations have for ensuring healthcare facilities remain in compliance with the Life Safety Code.

Wet pipe fire sprinklers have a long history of success. However, there are some applications where the introduction of water is as harmful (or more so) than the fire itself. During this training seminar, we will discuss alternative fire protection systems for water-sensitive areas, and when such an alternative may be appropriate.

Corrosion in a sprinkler system leads to pin-hole leaks and costly service calls. While a repair can patch the immediate problem, this is only a short term fix. If corrosion exists in a fire sprinkler system, there is a good chance oxygen is to blame. During this seminar, we will address misconceptions about what causes corrosion, how to prevent it, and how to find a solution when corrosion is present.

During this seminar on Fire Alarm Systems, a Ryan Fireprotection expert will provide an overview of the NFPA 70, 72, and 101 requirements - and what you, as a building owner, are responsible for.
