The Association for Specialist Fire Protection (ASFP) has launched several websites with a view to reach out to fire safety professionals across the world.

The new websites welcome visitors in their own language, signposting them to ASFP resources and information, including membership, training and technical guidance.

The sites will encourage greater interaction with the ASFP on a global scale and help to improve understanding of passive fire protection throughout the world. New ASFP websites are planned for Qatar, Singapore, Australia, India and South Korea.

Sites for Hong Kong, United Arab Emirates, France and Spain are already live.

The ASFP is also making its popular online training courses available in a new range of languages. The Level 2 and Level 3 Foundation Courses in Passive Fire Protection, delivered via the e-Learning platform, are now available for purchase in French and Spanish.

Delegates will be prompted to select the English, French or Spanish version when they register and purchase the course online. The selected version will be available as soon as they login to the online platform. All ASFP courses can be booked via https://asfp.org.uk/page/OnlineTrainingASFP.

ASFP CEO Steve Davies welcomed the move, commenting: “The ASFP has seen growing demand for passive fire protection information, guidance and training from across the world. By developing new websites and making training available to international audiences in their own languages we hope to make our expert knowledge and experience more widely accessible.

“Such a move can only lead to a greater understanding of the vital role of passive fire protection products and systems and improve the quality if fire safety within the global built environment.”
