The Insurance Institute of Leeds are pleased to announce that a visit has been arranged for our members and associates to the Rainbow and ISS state of the art national training centre in Mansfield which contains Europe's largest purpose built fire and flood training house. The house is used to provide training on the latest restoration techniques and practices for Rainbow and ISS Restoration personnnel.

Each of the bungalow's three rooms has been designed for a set purpose. One is for flooding floors, walls and cavities. Another room has been designed for dealing with odours. The third room has been constructed to enable smoke damage restoration training across contents and buildings.

The property is designed with different wall and floor construction types to enable training techniques to be acquired for any construction type. Each area in the bungalow can be selected for wetting, including the demonstration of hot water in under floor pipes for leak detection examinations. There are overhead systems installed for making sure there is water in the wall cavities, especially behind the rendered walls.

It is also possible to demonstrate "pre incident condition" issues as well as potential fraud in the flood house as there are purposely built problems in the construction, such as covered airbricks and missing roof tiles.

Who Should Attend?
This will be of particular interest to underwriters, brokers and claims handlers.

Learning Objectives
At the end of this event, the delegate will have gained a greater understanding of:
• the impact upon the building and the customer
• what is involved in the latest restoration techniques and practices
• pre-incident condition issues and potential fraud.

Places are limited so please book early to avoid disappointment. Two people per company.
