Fire Safety Reform - What's Next?

In this first episode of Assembly Point, we are joined by guest, Jim Fitzpatrick, former Fire Minister and Chair of FIRE AID. We explore what the future holds for fire safety policy and how we can ensure that changes are enforced properly so that everyone concerned with the design, construction, management, and occupation of buildings are held responsible.

The Fire Protection Association is the UK's national fire safety organisation and works to identify the dangers of fire and help our clients reduce any fire-related risks. Now in its second series, our monthly podcast launched in February 2021 to provide a collective space in which industry leaders can explore the most pressing issues in fire safety and share expert information and advice. Following the Grenfell Tower fire in 2017, the conversation around fire safety in the UK has gathered pace. Despite this, however, more still needs to be done to ensure that the tragic consequences of Grenfell and many other major fires are not repeated. Featuring leading experts from across the sector and hosted alternately by the FPA’s respected fire safety professionals, Assembly Point has a growing audience of 600+ listeners and aims to move the debate on fire safety forwards by identifying new ways to work together to improve standards.
