Sprinklers in social housing course

BAFSA has launched a new online Continuing Professional Development (CPD) programme aimed at improving understanding of automatic fire sprinkler systems in social housing settings.

The e-learning course has been developed to help housing professionals, fire safety practitioners and others gain a greater understanding of residential fire risks and the role sprinkler systems play in protecting lives and property.

The training covers a range of key topics, including the nature of fire risk in social housing environments, how fires spread within residential buildings, the limitations of passive fire protection measures, and the effectiveness of automatic fire sprinkler systems as a life safety solution.

Ruth Oliver, Skills & Qualifications Adviser at BAFSA, said: “As social housing providers continue to address building safety responsibilities and resident protection, access to practical, knowledge-based fire safety education is becoming increasingly important. The programme aims to help improve awareness across housing management, maintenance and compliance.”

The new CPD programme is designed to support both professionals already working within the housing and fire safety sectors and those seeking a broader understanding of residential fire safety challenges and solutions.

The programme takes approximately two hours to complete and allows participants to work through the modules at their own pace. Learners who successfully complete all modules and pass a short multiple-choice assessment will receive a BAFSA CPD-endorsed certificate.
