Nr		Title	Description
1		Understanding The Structural Fire Testing Process	Whenever a structure is built, regulatory boards and government agencies require builders to meet health and safety requirements that includes fire protection measures. Specific provisions are outlined in the Australian Building Codes Board, all of which must be strictly complied with. To ensure the regulations are followed, a typical structure or building is subjected to undergo structural fire testing, a fire retardant test, and a fire propagation test, among others.
2		Core Filling for Fire Protection	Steel is widely used in the construction of multi-storey buildings all over the world. It has proven to be cost-effective, sustainable, efficient, and also offers many advantages when it comes to health and safety. Technological advancements have also further developed steelworks and their fire protection which are critical in achieving building structures with a high fire protection rating.
3		Looking Ahead: What is in store for 2019	In the last few years there has (fortunately) been a relentless march within the construction industry, built on the back of strong technological advancements and a stronger focus on sustainability. Whilst some were originally derided, the truth is, looking back, most of the changes which have been brought in have made construction work easier, more efficient, and of course, more cost effective.
4		Importance of Earning CPD Points in Fire Rating	Continuing professional development also referred to as CPD is a requirement for professionals to maintain an up-to-date knowledge in their chosen profession. In short, it is the process of broadening your skills, knowledge, and experience and to develop the relevant competencies required. The goal of CPD is to keep a professional up-to-date with regulatory framework and the ever-changing industry standards.
5		Importance of Fire Engineering	No one wants to see a fire-related disaster of any type, but whether it be due to poor fire protection planning, older more combustible (once wide-spread and approved) materials being used in the construction, wear and tear or bad luck, owners and managers of large (actually any) buildings are often left shaking their heads because of the assets lost and the property damage caused.
6		Why Off-Site Application Can Improve Construction Timelines	Off-site application within the construction industry has recently been adopted for a variety of commercial and industrial projects. The number of construction processes being carried out offsite these days is increasing to save on time and cost. From pre-insulated water heaters, pre-wired fan coils for cooling equipment, to pre-formed roof trusses and prefab buildings, among others, offsite construction works offer considerable advantages to both clients and builders.
7		Differences Between Cellulosic and Hydrocarbon Fires	When you think of a building structure and it being alight, what do you think of? A tall commercial building with flames leaping out the windows? A smaller house fire? Or maybe a residential apartment building? If you did you are not alone. However, how many of you thought about industrial complexes – Factories, oil pipelines and petrochemical plants? The human mind works such that we think about things we see ourselves or on TV and the truth is we see more of the former types of fire than the latter.
8		Fire Rating cannot be an After thought	The planning process for building works is a time intensive one. Whether you are an architect, engineer, builder or the client, you know the time put into making sure the smallest details are covered off and the structure will be nothing short of brilliant when it is built.
