Howler, provider of temporary fire safety solutions, has announced the launch of their accredited CPD fire safety learning sessions for professionals in the construction industry.
These sessions aim to address knowledge gaps in fire safety, helping teams safeguard projects, comply with regulations and enhance their professional development.
Statistics reveal
According to recent data, the construction industry reports an average of one fire per day on UK sites. When Howler ran a survey with teams 81% of professionals failed to answer hot works-related safety questions correctly.
These alarming statistics underscore the need for accessible, high-quality training to empower teams and minimise risks.
