FSM Podcast - Episode 16

Brian hears from Wayne Woodland (Pre-Construction Director) and Matthew Flower (Sector Director) of Miller Knight, the specialist company focused on remedial passive fire protection measures. They outline key changes in the new build sector regarding fire protection post-Grenfell, the scope of current building regeneration projects and how it can be ensured that fire safety installations are being conducted in the correct manner.

With Warren Spencer (Managing Director at Blackhurst Budd Solicitors) absent from Episode 16 due to work commitments, this time around Mark looks ahead to next month’s digital conference on the Fire Safety Bill in which Warren features. In addition, Mark interviews Peter Jones (CEO at the Nineteen Group) who explains the recent decision to move The Fire Safety Event from next April to early September and why live events will continue to be so essential for practitioners in the fire sector.

Major news stories analysed include calls for firefighters to use body-worn video, a new worldwide standard for fire safety in buildings and the Fire Sector Federation’s support for a revised Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
