Reaching New Heights of Excellence
British Standards Institution (BSI) present the latest standards for Lift and Escalator Design, Installation and Maintenance.
The online learning package is a first for the BSI and was chosen as a creative way of informing people and encouraging them to get a better understanding of what the Eurocodes are and how they will be implemented.
The e-learning tool encourages users to role-play a BSI Eurocodes conference which is attended by delegates from all over the world.
After the lecture from an expert on Eurocodes there is a question and answer session where international delegates get to ask questions about how the Eurocodes will affect them in their countries.
In this way users are able to find out what the international implications of the codes will be.
The whole programme takes approximately 60 minutes to complete and aims to provide users with key information about the Eurocodes and create an interest to look at them in greater detail.
The interactive conference can be found at www.bsi-global.com/eurocodes Mark Wasmuth, International Development Manager for British Standards said, "BSI is taking a lead role in informing industry about the Eurocodes in an innovative way, which provides interest and puts the Eurocodes into context".
"We have used the e-learning package to make the benefits of using Eurocodes available to all interested parties, as education is vital for the successful implementation of these standards.".
