AMBAR KELLY CPD PROVIDES IMPORTANT EDUCATION ON THE RISER ZONE

October 14 2021

Ambar Kelly’s seminar ‘Riser Shafts - How to Avoid Failure’ is now RIBA approved and available on the RIBA CPD website.

The CPD, assessed by RIBA, provides a comprehensive overview of riser shafts, and focuses on the importance of eliminating risk throughout the riser shaft (zone) by design. Covering topics such as current testing and the misconceptions around material selection, the CPD is essential for construction professionals wishing to obtain in-depth, insight into the importance of the riser zone and its design.

The CPD is a concise resource for architects, structural engineers and MEP consultants looking to specify the right flooring within a riser shaft. Doing so assures fire safety, prevention of falls from height, greater flexibility when it comes to construction and improved access for the end user.

Ambar Kelly is now entitled to deliver this content to architects and other construction professionals as part of the RIBA CPD Providers Network. The RIBA CPD Providers Network consists of over 500 manufacturers and suppliers, training companies and advisory organisations, who provide RIBA-approved CPDs mostly free of charge to architects and specifiers.

Speaking of the news, Alex Bardett at Ambar Kelly said: “This marks a milestone for education on the necessary riser flooring which is not just about the visible risk of falling from height but the essential details to consider when designing a safe and fire-resistant riser shaft that occurs in every multi storey building in the world.”

Ambar Kelly’s seminar, ‘Riser Shafts - How to Avoid Failure’ fits within the RIBA CPD Core Curriculum. This CPD will be part of subjects including ‘design, construction and technology’, and ‘health, safety and wellbeing’. RIBA members are obliged to obtain more than half their yearly CPD total from this set syllabus.
