Fire Safety Matters Podcast - Episode 48
01 June 2026
EPISODE 48 of the Fire Safety Matters Podcast features interviews with our guests Elan Penn (training manager at passive fire protection solutions developer Siderise) and both Martin Green (commercial training and support manager) and Mick Hall (regional sales manager) from Hochiki Europe (the manufacturer of fire detection and emergency lighting products).

Elan concentrates on several core subjects, among them Best Practice in fire stopping and also how the industry’s response to training is evolving in the wake of recent fire safety legislation.
Returning guest Martin and his colleague Mick examine updates to British Standards, the compliance agenda and also the integration of fire systems with other technologies (including security solutions).
As always, Brian and Mark review some of the major news stories emerging in the fire sector. Stories covered on this occasion include the latest updates from the Metropolitan Police Service in relation to the Grenfell Tower investigation process, the Government’s proposed Remediation Bill having been confirmed in The King’s Speech, several senior-level appointments at BAFE and FireQual and the National Fire Chiefs Council’s call for fire safety to be built into the planning process from the outset.
