    Organised by the FPA, this engaging panel session will tackle industry concerns around fire safety in modern methods of construction (MMC). Featuring the FPA’s testing partners, UL Solutions and PartB, the discussion will consider gaps between innovation and safety systems in the construction sector, including best practice challenges in the MMC industry and the need for fire safety to be on the agenda across all sectors.

    Panellists will also discuss the danger of MMC fire risks being treated the same as those in traditional construction, particularly given the reliance on contractors to ensure fire stopping measures are installed correctly once materials are taken on-site.

    Preparing for This Months Regulations. With new legislation on PEEPs (Personal Emergency Evacuation Plans) and Person-Centered Fire Risk Assessments due to take effect in April 2026, housing providers, fire safety professionals, and building owners face significant challenges. This interactive discussion will explore the real-world implications of these changes - from the resources needed to implement them, to the complexities of competence, cost, and resident expectations. How do we balance individual welfare with shared responsibilities? What does “competence” look like when medical conditions affect escape planning? And who should carry the financial burden of the required controls? Delegates will be encouraged to share experiences, challenges, and potential solutions as the sector navigates this pivotal shift in fire safety regulation.

    Managing fire safety across large, multi-site estates presents significant challenges, from fragmented reporting systems to limited visibility of risk trends. This session explores how data-driven approaches are transforming fire safety management from a compliance obligation into a strategic advantage.

    Attendees will learn how consolidating inspection, maintenance, and performance data into centralized dashboards can provide real-time portfolio oversight, improve compliance tracking, and support smarter investment decisions. Through practical examples and case insights, the session will demonstrate how organisations can use analytics to prioritise risk, reduce costs, and create safer environments across their property portfolios.
