AIA Continuing Education

The most common methods of cable distribution can result in lead poisoning, incapacitation from toxic smoke penetration, even catastrophic structural failure. Sound far-fetched? Unfortunately, it's not. Uncover how current code-approved systems and methods of cabling are fatally flawed and how the industry is finally beginning to respond in two evocative HH Robertson-sponsored AIA CES courses – a convenient free online course and an in-person lunch and learn course.

Title: Enhancing Health & Safety Through Informed Cabling Design Decisions

Format: Online
Cost: Free
Credit: 1 LU/HSW Credit Hour

Description: Does code-approved mean safe? This 1-hour online program answers this question by exploring a host of serious health and safety risks related to four ubiquitous, code-approved methods of cable distribution, including: plenum cabling, poke-thru cabling, and non-metallic surface raceway. You’ll explore loopholes in current codes that enable these flawed systems and methods to persist. You see how health and safety organizations are beginning to respond, and you’ll learn what you can do to limit your potential liability.

Title: Cabling Safety in Multi-Story Structures

Format: Lunch and Learn
Credit: 1 HSW Credit Hour

Description: Cabling a building can be risky business. This one hour long AIA CES learning unit explores many potential health and safety hazards of popular code approved cabling methods and systems including: poke-thru devices, ceiling plenum cabling, cable trays, and plastic raceways and demonstrates how in-floor cellular distribution systems are designed and engineered to minimize or eliminates these risks.
