Developing Knowledge, Skills & Techniques For the Fire Industry
FDIC Middle East has established itself as the premier fire, fire prevention and fire safety industry event for the Middle East, bringing together firefighters and fire, health and safety professionals of the Gulf region.
Following the success of the second FDIC event in the Middle East, which achieved a 20% growth in visitors, all interested in developing their skills and techniques and discovering, FDIC Middle East continues to break new boundaries.
Fire prevention has become an integral part of FDIC Middle East, as the region continues its rapid economic expansion and fire prevention and safety remains high on the agenda, particularly in the construction sector, where the Middle East boasts the construction of the tallest building in the world and supports major high-rise residential structures that rival any found throughout the major cities in other regions.
Many times, fire prevention and fire protection usually refers to "hardware" issues, such as automatic detection devices, fixed systems both manual and automatic, or passive fire protection requirements such as spacing requirements, design requirements, or fireproofing.
These products and services will all be present and on show at FDIC Middle East 2009, being held in Bahrain from 17th to 19th February at the Bahrain International Exhibition Centre.
However, fire prevention and fire protection also has a human aspect, which sees highly trained firefighters to respond to incidents in industrial, commercial and residential occupancies.
FDIC Middle East has further developed its offering to incorporate additional fire prevention and protection education and training through its unique range of exhibition, conference and Hands-On-Training.
Hands-On Training modules
Hands-On-Training (H.O.T.) modules give fire-fighters real, live training under the guidance of some of the most experienced fire-fighters in the world. In carefully selected venues fire-fighters will learn techniques and practical theory on a range of live emergency situations.
Conference
The conference provides classroom based learning that gives fire-fighters and fire, fire prevention and fire safety industry related professionals the most up-to-date knowledge on topics from fire prevention and fire safety in commercial and industrial sectors, to how to fight fires.
Exhibition
FDIC Middle East also offers an opportunity for companies to showcase their products that enable fire-fighters and fire, health and safety professionals to do the jobs. Leading international organizations will be exhibiting their products and services at FDIC Middle East exhibition Hall 2 in the Bahrain International Exhibition Centre.
Demonstrations and exhibits from suppliers of fire prevention and fire safety equipment, designed for the general populace, will be showing their products. The overriding aim is to contribute to greater overall awareness of the risks associated with fire, which will, again, lead to lives being saved.
Jeremy Richardson, Event Director, said, "The aim of FDIC Middle East is to offer a centre point for all aspects of the fire industry, from fire prevention and fire safety to fire fighting, ensuring this event remains the premier event for the fire industry in the region."
"The further development of the fire prevention and fire safety aspect aims to aid the cooperation between the fire fighting community and the fire, health and safety professionals tasked with improving fire prevention and safety in the workplace and home."
"We look forward to welcoming the fire, health and safety industry professional to FDIC Middle East in Bahrain from 17th to 19th February 2009," concluded Mr Richardson.
