Enhancing Fire Safety Through CPD
At Lorient, we understand that education is the foundation of effective fire safety. As regulations become increasingly complex and building environments evolve, staying informed is more important than ever. That’s why we’re proud to offer a comprehensive suite of five RIBA-accredited CPD seminars, each designed to deepen understanding and improve best practice around fire door performance and passive fire protection.
Our experienced technical team delivers these CPDs and covers a range of vital topics, including fire and smoke resisting door assemblies, intumescent sealing systems, air transfer grilles, acoustic performance, and UK fire safety legislation – offering practical guidance and real-world insight to support compliant, high-performing specifications.
Our CPDs Include:
- The Importance of Fire Doors & Intumescent Seals
Explore the essential role these components play in passive fire protection. This session covers UK fire statistics, the function of intumescent seals, the impact of ironmongery, third-party certification, and relevant UK fire testing and leakage standards. Includes practical product solutions. - The Role & Performance of Fire & Smoke Resisting Doors
Learn about the design and regulatory requirements of fire and smoke resisting doors. This seminar explains smoke behaviour, door assembly design for smoke containment, and the balance between fire performance, durability, and usability – supported by independent accreditation. - Understanding the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 & Its Implications for Fire Doors
Understand your responsibilities under the RRO and learn from real-world prosecution examples. The seminar addresses fire door maintenance, common compliance failures, and how to identify and correct them cost-effectively. - Performance Door Design: The Basics of Sound Reduction
Examine the principles of acoustic containment, the difference between airborne and structural sound, relevant standards, and how door assemblies can be effectively designed for acoustic performance – while managing trade-offs with durability and fire protection. - Design & Specification of Intumescent Air Transfer Grilles
Gain insight into the fire and life safety role of intumescent air transfer grilles. This CPD explains their fire and cold smoke containment performance, offers practical specification guidance, and highlights best practices for maintaining performance throughout the product lifecycle.
Flexible & Free Access
All of our CPD sessions are available free of charge and can be delivered in person at your workplace, at Lorient’s head office, or online via Microsoft Teams.
Whether you're an architect, specifier, or contractor, we’re here to support your continued professional development and help ensure compliance with evolving fire safety standards.
