Seminar: Fire Essentials for Building Professionals

Aim:

This comprehensive seminar explores how to comply with building regulations. Participants will gain insight into how occupants typically respond during emergencies and how these behavioural patterns inform modern safety standards.

The session provides an essential overview of current building regulations, examining their functional requirements with particular focus on fire safety provisions. Attendees will compare different compliance approaches, including the prescriptive guidance found in Approved Document B (ADB) and the more flexible, risk-based methodologies outlined in British Standards BS 9999 and BS 9991.
