HAPPI Hour webinar - Safe by design: Fire safety in housing architecture and policy
Event date
Presentation notes and slides
Overview
We were pleased to welcome PRP, who shared insights from their work reviewing fire safety regulations and exploring alternative design approaches. The University of Stirling also joined us to mark three years of the ISPA project, with a focus on fire doors and resident safety. In addition, the session featured a legal perspective on the communication of fire safety information to residents.
Essential for anyone involved in designing, managing or regulating specialist housing.
