Fire Safety Matters Podcast - Episode 45

In conversation with Brian, Darren Ellis focuses on FireQual as an organisation, addresses the ongoing importance of competency in the fire sector and also reviews qualifications for fire risk assessors.

Stephen Marsh explains in detail why school holidays are an ideal time for education sector trusts and academies alike to evaluate their fire detection and alarm systems.

As always, Brian and Mark review the latest fire sector news. Subjects covered include the most recent set of statistics on building safety remediation issued by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government and an e-Learning programme on fire safety introduced for high-rise building managers.

There’s also detail on the news that Warringtonfire has just invested circa £4 million on two furnaces designed to increase the testing capacity at its Birchwood Park facility and an overview of BS 8674 (the recently published British Standard for fire risk assessors).
