Episode 18 of the Fire Safety Matters Podcast includes Brian interviewing Niall Rowan, CEO of the Association for Specialist Fire Protection. Making his second appearance on the Fire Safety Matters Podcast, Niall reviews his time as CEO and details the key achievements realised by the organisation. He also turns his attentions towards the competency agenda in the fire sector and discusses the key elements of the Building Safety Bill and the Fire Safety Bill.
With the Home Office now signalling the prospect of unlimited fines for proven breaches of fire safety regulations, Warren Spencer (managing director at Blackhurst Budd Solicitors) examines this subject. In addition, Mark hears from Andy Speake (national technical manager at fire and carbon monoxide alarms manufacturer Aico) who concentrates on the core issue of installer training and outlines the cloud-based alarm solutions Aico is bringing to market.
Major news stories analysed include the Government’s response to the recent Fire Safety Consultation and the Health and Safety Executive’s appointment of Peter Baker as the inaugural Chief Inspector of Buildings to establish and lead the Building Safety Regulator.
