What’s on the agenda at FIREX Connect 2021?

The content programme for FIREX Connect 2021, taking place online between 1-30 June, has been revealed! Sessions will cover key topics such as the the evacuation of tall buildings and how we improve building safety, as well as demonstrations of the latest product innovations to hit the fire safety market.

14:00 – Making Buildings Safer

The webinar will focus on the legislative and systemic changes required in fire safety, and wider building sector, to ensure buildings are made safer for occupants. It will have a particular focus on the incoming legislation, including the Building Safety Bill, Fire Safety Bill, and proposed changes to the Fire Safety Order (2005). Are the proposals enough? And crucially, how does the sector work to encourage a wide adoption of a new safety-conscious culture in construction and building safety – from planning through to occupation.

  • Dennis Davis, Executive Officer, Fire Sector Federation
