Specifying Doors for Corrosive Environments (AIA No. FRP-301)
This one-hour program is designed to help participants understand the threat of corrosion and how to protect against it in common applications such as coastal construction, water and wastewater treatment plants, swimming pool and shower areas, boiler rooms and pump houses, oil refineries and petrochemical plants, pulp and paper plants, animal holding facilities and other areas exposed to corrosive agents.. Attendees receive one Health, Safety & Welfare (HS&W) Learning Unit credit.
