On 19 June Andrew Alexander, Head of Strategic Policy, Oversight & Risk Strategy Division, Building Safety Portfolio, Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government will provide an overview of the Government consultation on fire safety legislation

The ASFP Passive Fire Protection Zone aims to help visitors to gain a greater understanding of the essential role of passive fire protection within today’s built environment and offer advice for all involved from designers, specifiers and contractors, to building owners, risk assessors and facilities managers. It brings together in one location a number of ASFP member companies, representing a cross section of the passive fire protection sector.
