In our latest podcast episode, we discuss Fire Safety, the Golden Thread, the Building Safety Bill, and how a digital fire safety compliance platform can help transform how Clients, Facilities Managers, and Owner/Operators manage buildings in relation to Fire Safety.   

We also examine what impact this might have for wider society, how building projects of the future may be funded and insured based on fire safety data as well as the empowering impact such a platform can have in terms of fire safety participation to drive better compliance and decision making at all levels of an organisation.
