This CPD will provide guidance on specifying Roof Access Hatches, with consideration to their use and client requirements. It discusses the need for safe realistic access solutions below the hatch, or the accessing areas within and externally around the building. It will also cover current regulation surrounding the use of natural smoke ventilation vents to be positioned on the roof, how they work, and design possibilities.
Finally, the considerations in use of glass within a prop

Welcome to the first of its kind, Bitesize CPD.
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?
All these questions will be answered and more.

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.

Let There Be Light - Specifying High Performance Rooflights
CPD from
Surespan Limited
This comprehensive presentation is designed for architects, engineers, and building specifiers, providing in-depth insights into the effective specification and use of skylights to enhance energy efficiency, natural lighting, and indoor comfort. The session will cover the fundamental principles of skylight design, focusing on key considerations such as light transmittance, Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC), and U-Values. Attendees will learn how to balance daylighting with thermal performance, ensuring compliance with Building Codes. Practical examples and case studies will illustrate the benefits of using advanced glazing technologies and proper skylight placement to achieve sustainable and comfortable indoor environments. By the end of this presentation, participants will have a thorough understanding of how to specify skylights that meet energy performance criteria, improve occupant well-being, and contribute to the overall sustainability of residential and commercial buildings.
