Chicago Chapter-sponsored SFPE Seminar:
Introduction to Industrial Fire Protection Engineering
to be held at Underwriters Laboratories, Northbrook, Illinois

The chapter will be holding a SFPE International Sponsored educational seminar August 19-20 on Industrial Fire Protection at Underwriters Laboratories, Northbrook, in August.

The event will be the same as the one presented this Fall in New Orleans (only $275 less). The instructors are Kenneth Dungan, P.E. FSFPE and Michael Mowrer, P.E., FSFPE.

Cost is $425 for Chicago members and $525 for non-members before July 30. Please see the attached flyer for details, registration, and contact information.

Below is a description of the seminar. Introduction to Industrial Fire Protection Engineering

This seminar is intended for engineers and technicians interested in expanding their knowledge and understanding of the application of fire protection engineering design to industrial facilities. Those involved in the design, operation, emergency response, and risk management of industrial facilities will benefit from this seminar. A basic understanding of the principles of protection engineering would be helpful but is not essential to benefit from this program. The learning objective of this two-day seminar is to provide the participant with a better understanding of the potential fire hazards common to industrial facilities and fire protection engineering techniques that cam be used to prevent or mitigate fires in these facilities. The program will include student exercises demonstrating the application of the principles and techniques presented in the seminar to specific industrial facilities. Seminar Outline: Fire Protection Engineering Design Fire Prevention Fire Mitigation Understanding Industrial Fire Hazards Ignitibility and Flammability of Materials Common Ignition Sources Common Industrial Processes' Fire Hazards Fire Hazards Analysis Fire Safety Design Objectives Specific Industry Applications.

Earn Valuable CEUs: The Society of Fire Protection Engineers will award 1.40 Continuing Education Units for attending the entire seminar.
