About this Course

This introductory course highlights the fundamental need for structural fire protection (fireproofing) to complex steel structures by an array of material types to meet design objectives and model code requirements in the built environment. Course delegates will be exposed to the relationship between model code requirements, testing, and certification of Fire Resistive Materials applied to structural steelwork members. Sustainable material selection considerations and the importance of third-party certification will be discussed for generic types of fire-resistive materials empowering delegates to specify and have informed conversations regarding passive fire protection.

Prerequisite Knowledge: Introductory level, no prerequisites required.

HSW Justification:

This course will help attendees understand how fireproofing materials can help keep people safer in case of fires.Learning Objective 1:Upon completing this course, attendees will understand the role, need, and purpose of fire-resistive materials when designing steel structures in the built environment.

Learning Objective 2: Upon completion of this course, attendees will understand the testing requirements, acceptance criteria, and certification procedures for fire-resistive materials in the built environment.

Learning Objective 3:Upon completion of this course, attendees will be able to recognize and specify various generic fireproofing material types to meet the design intent, sustainability, and model code requirements in the built environment.

Learning Objective 4:Upon completion of this course, attendees will understand certification directories alpha-numeric classifications and how they are applied based on member, orientation, and material type.
