179 - Assurance in fire safety with Abhishek Chhabra
Tuesday, 26 November, 2024
Discover the hidden backbone of fire safety with assurance industry expert Abhishek Chhabra as we unravel the essential frameworks that keep our buildings safe and sound. We explore the vital role of standards, accreditations, and testing mechanisms in fostering trust and compliance within the construction industry. It is not easy to talk about, but I assure you (pun intended) that Abhishek can talk about it in an engaging and fun way.Gain a deeper understanding of the current landscape of fire safety engineering, where an urgent demand for robust credential assurance matches the scarcity of professionals. Delve into the complexities of establishing a comprehensive competence regime for the industry. Learn why the accuracy and repeatability of fire testing methods are indispensable in maintaining market trust and product safety. Through our conversation, we highlight the critical need for standards like ISO 17024, ISO 17025, ISO 17020 and 17065, ensuring that everyone, from designers to facility managers, is equipped with the necessary certifications.As global safety standards evolve, the distinction between liability and responsibility becomes increasingly crucial. At the end of the episode, we also discuss performance-based design and the potentially transformative role of laboratories and inspection bodies in developing custom solutions, addressing the unique challenges of innovative engineering projects. Join us as we explore the vital importance of testing in delivering reliable performance outcomes, particularly in an era when safety cannot be compromised.----The Fire Science Show is produced by the Fire Science Media in collaboration with OFR Consultants.
