Summary

The authors outline an engineering approach to fire safety in complex buildings. As the industry waits for UK impending rationalisation of fire safety legislation, they take a look at some of the latest techniques for minimising fire risk in buildings. They examine hospitals where NHS Estates has updated its Firecode guidance documents to introduce a risk assessment approach and look at Sofie, a new smoke modelling program under development at the Fire Research Station.
