GexCon will be holding 2 courses in March with some excellent course content here for those interested in explosion science and associated modelling.

The first one will the popular pubic 2-day 'ATEX/DSEAR Comprehensive Explosion Science Course' (opens new window with course detail).

The second will be the 3-day 'Blast and Dispersion Modelling Course' (opens new window with course detail) using leading FLACS CFD software with each delegate receiving a 1 month free trial of the full software package.

Fire Safety in Building Design and Operation - A Short Course

3rd - 7th April 2010 : Department of Architectural Engineering, King Fahd University of Petroleum & Minerals (KFUPM), Saudi Arabia

Many of the topics covered by JOIFF relate specifically to open plant process environments.  This may be due to the multifarious geometries and inherent hazards present and the many challenges for our fire engineers and fire-fighters which remain.  However, every facility has a 'built environment' and within these buildings are housed our most precious asset  - our people.  Therefore one of the greatest risks which we have as a fire professional is life risk and the highest population of life risk is found within buildings.  Just a thought for 2010  - take a look at the built environment around you and for which you have responsibility and ensure you place the same diligence in ensuring these are safe places of work as you do with open plant process environments.
