Fire and Principles of Passive Fire Protection in Specifying Drylining Systems
This short course is designed to give you a solid grounding in the essentials of fire safety in construction. Across two 30-minute modules, you’ll explore why fire safety matters, how fire performance is measured, and the principles of passive fire protection. You’ll also see how British Gypsum and Isover products and systems contribute to safer, more resilient buildings. A final assessment helps you check and confirm your learning.
Description
This course is split into two focused 30-minute modules, making it easy to fit into a busy schedule while still covering the key concepts you need to know.
-
Module 1 – An Introduction to Fire
Understand the fundamentals of fire safety in construction: why it matters, how fire develops, and the ways we measure performance. This module provides the context for effective fire-resistant design. -
Module 2 – Passive Fire Protection Principles
Explore the standards and practical applications of passive fire protection. Learn how British Gypsum and Isover systems are designed to provide fire resistance, support compliance, and enhance building safety.
Finally, you’ll complete a short assessment to reinforce your learning and build confidence in applying the principles in practice.
By the end of this course, you’ll have a clear understanding of fire safety fundamentals and how tested, assured systems help reduce risk and improve outcomes in modern construction
