Financial Management for Non-Financial
Managers
(2.0 hours; CEU: 0.2; CPD: 2.0]
AFSA Members: $40 LOGIN |
Nonmembers: $140.00 PURCHASE
Nobody got into the fire protection business
because he enjoyed the financial aspects of
the business. Few use financial statements
to really understand the business and make
the right decisions. Upon completion of this
session, attendees will be able to identify
information that financial managers use to
increase profits to determine how much working
capital is enough; evaluate the financial structure
of your firm; whether your company is price-sensitive
or volume-sensitive and what to do about it;
and explain how to use financials ratio to
take a financial physical.

NItrogen Use for Inhibiting Galvanic
Electrochemical and MIC in Fire Protection
Systems

NItrogen Use for Inhibiting Galvanic Electrochemical
and MIC in Fire Protection Systems
Corrosion in Fire Protection Systems causes
detrimental and costly leaks that can render
the life-saving system ineffective in the event
of a fire. Supervisory compressed air continuously
adds moisture into systems, a key ingredient
for corrosion. Nitrogen, a clean, dry, inert,
non-flammable gas, will remove residual moisture
left within piping and successfully inhibit
corrosion.

Freeze Protection Options for Automatic
Sprinkler Systems
[1.5 hours; CEU: 0.15; CPD: 1.50]
AFSA Members: $40 LOGIN |
Nonmembers: $140.00 PURCHASE
This seminar will focus on freeze protection
options for NFPA 13, 13R, and 13D sprinkler systems.
Among the key topics to be discussed is the application
and new restrictions on the use of antifreeze.
Additionally, methods for protection sprinkler
systems using insulation, application of dry
sprinklers, dry pipe systems options, and opportunities
for using heat tracing will also be reviewed.
The seminar will also cover strategies for designing
systems to avoid subjecting the piping and sprinklers
to freezing conditions. Participants will learn
and be able to apply the fundamentals and latest
technologies for protecting sprinkler systems
from freezing conditions.

What is UFC 3-600-01?
[2.0-hours; CEU: 0.20; CPD: 2.00]
AFSA Members: $40 LOGIN |
Nonmembers: $140.00 PURCHASE
The Uniform Facility Criteria are design standards
that supplement or supercede the building codes
and several NFPA standards. It will cost you
dearly if you are bidding and working on Department
of Defense projects and you are not familiar
with how to follow these documents. The primary
document you need to know is “UFC 3-600-01 –
Fire Protection Engineering for Facilities.”
This document requires larger design areas, higher
hose streams, and Schedule 40 piping. These are
several of the provisions you need to know to
avoid costly mistakes. The class will also alert
you to other standards and tell you where you
can get these documents for FREE!

NFPA 25 - 2011 Edition Update
[2-hours; CEU: 0.2; CPD: 2.00]
AFSA Members: $40 LOGIN |
Nonmembers: $140.00 PURCHASE
The revision process is complete for
the 2011 edition of NFPA 25. This
seminar session will present an up-to-date
examination of the technical committees
actions and discuss the potential impact
on contractors providing inspection,
testing, and maintenance services.
A number of actions are designed to
clearly define the scope of the standard
and the responsibiilities of the owner
and inspection provider in regard to
design and installation deficiencies.
This seminar also discusses how contractors
can support the AFSA and others in
the standard-making process.
