Fire Safety: Construction Technologies, Design and Usage

Summary

The UK's Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities commissioned a project to assess if existing fire safety guidance (Approved Document B) adequately addresses risks from modern construction technologies, design, and building usage. The project, now completed, involved extensive stakeholder consultation, surveys, and workshops to identify shortcomings and generate recommendations for future revisions of the guidance. The findings highlight numerous issues and challenges, with options for future work presented to ensure building safety keeps pace with innovation.
