Welcome to our Bitesize CPD on Ladder Access Solutions.
Work at height is the biggest single cause of fatal and serious injury in the construction industry. Over 60% of deaths during work at height involve falls from ladders, scaffolds, working platforms, roof edges.
This Bitesize CPD acts as a useful reference tool for specifying a safe and compliant ladder solutions. Ideal for roof access and maintenance. The video covers 3 main types of ladders including fixed vertical ladders, Ships ladders and retractable loft ladders.
A short pre-recorded video which highlights what options should be considered when specifying roof hatches and ladders. Covering in depth the available operation methods, locking, finishes, safety considerations and much more making it easier for you to specify a working solution.
The roof hatch is not just a square box on the roof. You need to consider what is the minimum size you can specify for safe use, how will it safely be operated by an end user and how they will access it? Is it accessed via a retractable ladder or fixed vertical ladder, and what are they accessing for? What restrictions do you have on site and how can you best utilise the space provided ensuring safe means of access?
The presentation highlights that designers need to consider many different parameters when selecting floor insulation.The presentation then moves on to consider the differences between common floor insulation options from thermal performance; to loading characteristics to performance when exposed to moisture.Common uses of XPS are also discussed relating them back to the properties of the material.

Understanding Blue Roofs : From design to application
Increases in our urban population, the density of urban development and the effects of climate change are all placing additional pressure on our public surface water drainage systems. Designed and installed correctly a blue roof can provide a very successful surface water management solution for modern construction projects.
An exploration of how Green Infrastructure can and should be used to help to regenerate our towns and cities.
This session will detail the potential benefits and then explore the potential Green Infrastructure intervention measures including a section on how to safely fix to existing buildings or structures. We will also look at some tools we can use to assess where Green Infrastructure might best be deployed to maximise return on investment.
The aim is to give confidence in understanding what is available to green up our existing towns and cities and how we can go about specifying these features in a way that leads to a joined-up network of green spaces.
A detailed look at the specification of green walls as an integrated part of building structures.
Generally focusing on new build but also showing some retrofit examples. This session will explore in detail the integration of living walls into design, including looking at compliance issues such as CWCT testing and reaction to fire as well as demystifying hydroponics.
The aim is to provide a full understanding of, and confidence in, the drawings, specification details and compliance data associated with living cladding systems.
An introduction to living walls, covering both new build and retrofit situations. Starting with an overview of the types of Green Infrastructure and their benefits, we will then look at the different vertical greening options including demystifying hydroponics.
The aim is to provide details on each to enable the potential for living walls to be discussed with clients with confidence and to look towards specifying the solution that will best fit the project.
Optigrun’s RIBA approved CPD seminar, Green Roofs in Practice, is perfectly designed for an audience that has had limited involvement with specifying green roofs.

Delmatic are at the cutting-edge of controls technologies and we have our finger very much on the pulse regarding controls, networks, lighting and integrated services.
This CPD seminar provides a comprehensive overview of lighting management covering key topics including DALI-2, MQTT, system architecture, open protocols, connected systems, biodynamic control, IoT, smart workplace app and wireless solutions.
The seminar is packed with animated schematics to explain the concepts of lighting management and the application of the various forms of control to different building areas and types of lighting.For more information or to book an event e-mail [email protected]
DALI is the world’s leading dimming technology and a global standard that has revolutionised commercial, domestic & architectural lighting and control.
This seminar focuses on the latest DALI-2 standard and explores the various ways in which DALI-2 may be applied.
The seminar reviews the typical DALI-2 buswire application but also investigates other approaches including DALI-2 Broadcast and DALI-2 Plug-in as well as DALI-2 Wireless.
The seminar looks at expanded DALI solutions including DALI-2 presence detectors, photocells, multisensors and switches, as well as DALI-2 relays for control of services including water solenoid valves and blind motors.
The seminar concludes with an exploration of the latest in DALI-2 emergency light testing and monitoring as well as Biodynamic white-tuning and RGBW controls.For more information or to book an event e-mail [email protected]
Open systems share hardware and knowledge and achieve substantial savings in capital cost as well as big operational savings over the life of a building. However, all too often, buildings are equipped with stand-alone, proprietary systems that tie clients into expensive and restrictive support from one vendor and limit potential for integration. By contrast, open, interoperable systems optimise efficiency by pooling key data and sharing hardware, and offer enhanced operation at competitive cost.This seminar looks at open protocols and connected lighting control systems, the advantages of open technologies to consultants and clients, the technical benefits, capital cost and operational cost savings. The seminar includes recommendations and design approaches for typical types of projects, and a sequence of flowcharts and animated schematics guides delegates through the integration process.For more information or to book an event e-mail [email protected]
