“With the creation of enhanced storage methods comes the need to increase fire protection for occupancies with high piled storage,” explains Bless. “This course offers an overview of the hazards associated with high-piled combustible storage.”
During this webinar, Bless will familiarize attendees with the International Fire Code (IFC) requirements, and specifically some of the provisions of Chapter 32. Commodity classification, aisle requirements, access doors and other features will be reviewed. And, participants will gain an understanding of the basic high pile storage requirements, as well as the factors that make these requirements applicable.
At the conclusion of the presentation, participants will be able to define high pile storage and explain the protection features involved with protecting high pile storage facilities. In addition, attendees will gain an understanding of the basic requirements for high pile storage, commodity classifications and mixed commodity facilities.
