How effective is the fire safety design of your buildings?

Fire also gutted Clandon Park House in 2015 after a lack of fire protection to the fuse cupboard ceiling and its historic design allowed the fire to spread, the Surrey Fire and Rescue Service report said.

These incidents act to remind us that ensuring standards of both passive fire resisting construction are as effective as active measures. These should be equally key components of any risk assessment in construction.

The FPA can help with constructional fire safety design with a three-day training course, Fire Safety Design of Buildings, which considers both passive and active fire protection systems, the interface between fire protection and security as well as the importance of building design in ensuring business continuity.

The next available course dates are 9-11 January, Moreton-in-Marsh and 19-21 April, London.
