Location: Online through GoToWebinar (access link will be emailed following registration, computer or compatible mobile device with Internet connection required)

Course Description: With the increasing demand for distribution and warehousing where high hazard commodities are stored, high-piled storage requirements are getting more attention. Understanding fire protection for high-piled storage can be challenging and there are a number of commonly missed requirements that have a significant impact on managing risk and being compliant. This course focuses on some of the often-overlooked needs for protecting high-piled storage hazards and typical errors that can delay plan approval. This includes items related to design drawings, the storage arrangement inside the building, as well as the conditions surrounding the outside of the building.

Learning Objectives:
• Learn commonly missed items on the design drawings that can delay plan approval.
• Understand commonly missed items inside the building such as housekeeping, flue spaces, aisle widths, and draft curtain boards.
• Describe commonly missed items on the outside of the building such as fire department access roads and doors, lock boxes and fire hydrants.
