Fire Safety
Discover the power of wireless fire protection — a smarter, more flexible approach to modern fire safety. Once seen primarily as a solution for difficult or sensitive installations, wireless fire detection is now being adopted across a wide range of applications thanks to advances in performance, reliability and system design.With the publication of the updated BS 5839-1 guidance for 2025, there is renewed focus on best-practice system design, documentation and reliability. Wireless fire systems, when based on EN54-certified components, can be specified in line with these principles, giving specifiers, installers and end users confidence that wireless technology can form part of a fully compliant fire detection strategy.By eliminating the need for complex cabling, wireless fire systems enable faster installation with significantly less disruption. This makes them particularly well suited to heritage buildings, occupied schools, healthcare environments, and operational industrial sites — where maintaining day-to-day activity is essential.Beyond installation benefits, wireless fire protection also delivers long-term value. Reduced installation time, cleaner aesthetics and scalable system design support cost efficiency and future expansion. As the industry continues to align with the expectations set out in BS 5839-1:2025, wireless fire detection stands out as a reliable, standards-ready solution for modern buildings.

This session was recorded at Health & Safety Matters Live Leeds in March 2026. Davy Snowdon, a former Olympic weightlifter, shares how he applied Olympic weightlifting principles to industrial manual handling training, discovering that showing workers the physical discomfort of incorrect techniques and demonstrating pain-free alternatives creates the most effective behaviour change.Through real-world applications—from paper mills to electrical towers to airport baggage handling—he demonstrates how the "pristine principles" reduce injury rates by over 70%, proving that realistic, tangible training in workers' actual environments is far more effective than traditional safety policies and procedures.1

This session was recored at IFSM Meeting at Fire Safety Matters Live in March 2026. Mark Chinery, a Fire Safety Manager at a London NHS trust, presents the critical operational challenges of corridor care—a practice where patients occupy hospital corridors due to overwhelming demand exceeding designed capacity by up to 300%.The presentation examines the compounding fire and safety risks, including blocked evacuation routes, infection control failures, and staff pressures, while discussing how fire brigades balance patient safety concerns against the reality of not having sufficient hospital infrastructure to accommodate the growing population demand.
