Firefly expands training
TM

options for fire professionals

As the UK manufacturer supplying
the range of smoke and fire barriers
carrying the widest number of
technical accreditations, TBA FIREFLY
TM
is also enhancing the training options
available to installers and other fire
professionals to ensure its products
are expertly installed in line with exact
specifications, helping to protect both
life and property, as well as delivering
peace of mind to all stakeholders. The
various training courses are delivered
to groups of up to six people, either
at Firefly’s Rochdale headquarters
or in Raunds, Northamptonshire,
with the content tailored to offer the
appropriate blend of theory and
hands-on practical experience. Site
based training is also available to
address project specific requirements,
especially where bespoke installation
details are demanded.
The most popular ‘General Assembly’
course covers fixing and jointing
Firefly barriers, along with the key
aspects of Building Regulations
and the critical aspect of service
penetrations. Delegates will gain
instruction in vertical and horizontal
barriers, along with skills such as
seaming and managing installations.
Responding to customer demand,
Firefly has added a new module for
Assessor Training which is intended to
arm supervisors and surveyors so they
can determine if barriers have been
correctly installed in accordance
with product specifications and
regulations.
