LOUISVILLE, Ky., Feb. 4, 2014 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- ORR Protection Systems, the largest privately owned fire protection and safety company in the United States, will be hosting its annual seminar series, A Morning with the Experts, beginning in March and running through the end of May. The series travels from east to west, reaching cities throughout the U.S. and brings with it knowledgeable Fire Protection System experts presenting industry leading training and information.

The theme for this year's series, Become a Fire Protection Champion, will encourage companies to adopt fire safety advocates within their organization in order to provide awareness, monitor fire safety systems, and ensure the business will be protected in the event of a fire. The seminar is designed to first help businesses understand the essential elements of their Fire Life Safety Systems, any NFPA code changes they need to be aware of, and the requirements for inspection, testing and maintenance to keep facilities in compliance. The series is also designed with architects and engineers in mind, and will be discussing system design tips for lowering maintenance cost and improving serviceability.

Lee Kaiser, PE, Engineering Manager and presenter of this year's series, explains the value of being prepared: "Businesses move at such a fast pace today, that every company should have a fire protection champion. The cost associated with downtime or loss of productivity due to false alarms or even worse, the loss of assets due to a fire, is substantial."

Known industry wide as mission critical fire protection experts, ORR Protection has hosted its seminar series since 2003 in an effort to bring people from multiple backgrounds (fire service, facility management, architects, engineers, and contractors) together in one spot to learn more about the fire protection industry. "We bring an opportunity for end users of multiple fire protection systems to be face-to-face with industry experts, to have a chance to get answers to questions, and to have a real dialogue about the inspection, testing, and maintenance of their systems," explains Kaiser. "We want people to walk away from this seminar with a better understanding of their Fire Life Safety Systems and what they need to do to meet all NFPA codes and standards."

Participants can earn continuing education credits for attending the seminar, and will have multiple opportunities for one-on-one conversations with ORR's fire protection experts.

Says Kaiser: "Our end goal is to be a resource for the community in which this industry serves. We want to make a real difference in educating people, and believe completely that our daily work literally saves lives. Our goal at the end of each seminar series is to ensure participants have come away with a better working knowledge of their systems in order to create safer facilities and work environments. We also really enjoy the opportunity of meeting with members of this community face-to-face and creating long lasting relationships."
