We're working on a couple of social housing schemes at the moment. Read below to see why passive fire protection is important. Common PFP measures are: 🔥 Fire Stopping 🔥 Cavity Barriers 🔥 Intumscent Paint #PFP #passivefireprotection

#HousingCommunitySummit: The next session title here on the Asset Management and Decarbonisation Theatre, sponsored by Plentific, says it all in two simple words - 'fire safety'. The panel of experts are here to share what can be learned from fire deaths in the past, and how the sector can work to reduce the risks of such future tragedies. With: Adam Sanders, Jan Taranczuk CIHCM AIFSM OHP, and Carl Traynor MIET CertCIH. We are housing managers not fire safety managers, he points out, but it is important. Adam talks about some of the challenges of getting to grips with the legislative changes. From a practical point, Jan says housing officers should be sharing fire safety information during the course of their routine dealings with tenants. People with an infirmity or an impairment are those most likely to be injured or killed in a fire: housing managers can and should be identifying who those residents are. There's a big shift to a more structured approach to building safety, Adam thinks, and the more we do that the bigger the difference can be made. How do we reduce the risks, Jan asks. Fire doors, with a working closer, that meet the relevant standards. Adam says we need to be take a risk assessment on doors; they don't stop fires starting, they seek to minimise the consequences. Management of risk is the key thing. Data is crucial, but we need to systemic some of this stuff for resident Engagement, Adam days. Resident engagement does not just reduce the severity of a fire -- it can prevent a fire breaking out. You can't control people's behaviour, but you can educate people, says an audience member in regard to dealing with e-bikes and the like. Another audience member shares that his organisation is trying to take proactive approach to assessing risks. The discussion turns to encouraging people not to leave devices on charge unattended. Show, don't tell, is more likely to get people to get the message. #ukhousing #socialhousing #firesafety #ebikes #residentengagement Aico National Social Housing Fire Strategy Group (NSHFSG) RiskBase
