4. Automist Fire Marshall and Inspector Training (H1)


Description
This course is designed for Fire Marshals, Fire Inspectors, and other stakeholders responsible for evaluating fire protection systems where Automist is used as an alternative to an NFPA 13D sprinkler system.

As an electronically controlled water mist system, Automist differs in design and installation from conventional home fire sprinklers. This course will guide you on how traditional inspection methods can be adapted to assess Automist installations effectively.

Course Topics:
- System Certification & Applications – Understanding Automist’s UL Listing and appropriate use cases.
- Reviewing the Working Plan – Ensuring compliance with design requirements.
- Inspection During Rough-In – Key checks before final installation.
- Commissioning Assessment – Verifying system performance and functionality.
- Contractor & Designer Certification – Confirming proper accreditation and compliance.

By the end of this course, you'll be equipped to assess Automist installations with confidence, ensuring they meet fire safety codes and regulatory requirements.
