Life safety manufacturer, Hochiki Europe is continuing its successful series of webinars, with an online session focusing on demystifying Intrinsically Safe (I.S.) systems. The webinar will take place on Thursday 20 August at 11am and is free-to-attend for those looking to enhance their knowledge and expertise of these integral life safety systems.

There is some confusion around the use of I.S. equipment due to the misconception that they are simply ‘bolt on’ products that can be added to life safety systems to provide protection in more dangerous environments. However, this is not the case and there are many instances where specially developed I.S. equipment is required due to the level of protection that they can offer and the hazardous nature of the environment in which they are to be used. Throughout the online session, experts from Hochiki will take attendees through the key issues, considerations and requirements, covering the technical makeup of I.S. devices, the different classifications of hazardous areas as well as common and uncommon applications where I.S. equipment would be best suited.

The host of the webinar, Rob Head, Commercial Project Manager at Hochiki Europe, said: “Helping our customers understand the place of I.S. equipment within the field of life safety technology is incredibly important due to the misunderstanding that currently surrounds them. With more buildings being left unoccupied or having fewer occupants, fire detection and prevention, particularly in hazardous environments, must remain ultra-dependable.

“So, if you’re an installer, facility manager, end user, life safety professional, or anyone responsible for hazardous environments looking to update your knowledge and expertise, join us on 20 August.”

Paul Adams, Marketing Manager at Hochiki Europe, added: “In this new, socially-distant world, webinars are an effective way of delivering vital training and technical information to our audiences helping ensure our industry remains in the know about the latest developments. Our previous sessions have received some really positive feedback and so we’re excited to see what this next chapter will bring.”
