Safelincs - H50

A dedicated programme exploring lifecycle accountability in fire safety - from engineering intent to governance, evidence and change control across the life of a building.

The Building Safety Act has shifted focus from installation to lifecycle stewardship. Fire engineers, asset owners and accountable persons must now protect fire strategy intent, demonstrate competence, and maintain defensible records — not just at handover, but throughout a building's life.

Programme explores:

• Regulation & enforcement
• Engineering & design intent
• Operational delivery
• Systems & evidence
• Competence & culture
