Episode 21 of the Fire Safety Matters Podcast includes an interview with Anthony Walker (director and also a member of the Board at Sircle). Brian puts a number of questions to Anthony (who’s a Chartered surveyor and fire engineer) focused around several key topic areas, among them cladding for buildings, qualifications for fire risk assessors, EWS-1 Forms and the ‘golden thread’ of information.

Once again, Mark hears from our regular Fire Safety Matters Podcast guest Warren Spencer (managing director at Blackhurst Budd Solicitors). On this occasion, Warren turns his attentions towards the belief that associations need to take the lead when it comes to the competency of fire risk assessors.

In addition, Brian hears from Yusuf Muhammad, co-founder and chief design officer at Plumis, who outlines what the company has been doing of late in relation to product testing for fire suppression systems.

As always, there’s a round-up of the latest major news stories published online by Fire Safety Matters as well as some essential detail about The Fire Safety Event and the FSM Live one-day digital conference in November.
