This program connects the dots between how firestop specifications are written, interpreted, and executed in the field. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of how design intent, UL system selection, and specification language directly affect compliance, coordination, and liability. The course explores the roles of designers, contractors, and inspectors—highlighting how collaboration and communication throughout the construction process ensure that firestopping systems perform as intended and meet code requirements.
Learning Objectives:
- Explain how firestop specifications are developed and why clarity in design documentation is critical to code compliance.
- Identify common gaps between specification intent and field installation that can lead to inspection or performance issues.
- Interpret UL system requirements and code references that govern firestop design and application.
- Apply best practices for coordination between design and construction teams to achieve compliant, constructible firestop solutions.
