religiously might have noticed, the cover this month tells a different story! The reality is that we have had a lot of articles around buildings come in since our July/August focus, and with the Grenfell inquiry restarting again – as well as a couple of cancellations (par for the course in the magazine world) – we decided to change tack from our programme for this month. So our focus instead is on safety strategies, the engineered

approach and tailored solutions. As building regulations are potentially set to change, and with fi re safety at the forefront for the construction industry as never before, plans for instilling a sense of responsibility and diligence are in the ascendancy. On safety strategies, Arup’s Alistair Murray and David Stow

Articles can cover aspects related to fire, business and resilience planning, protection of lives and buildings, or insurance.
Our minimum word count is 1,500 words – we also require a two to three sentence author bio and print quality author headshot, for our contributors’ page, and high resolution images to support your piece. We do not run overt advertorial – the best way to proceed is to explain general principles or technologies in the context of fire and other risks, with mention of relevant products in a case study.

examine issues in the complex area of fi re safety standards in construction, and point to a way to help achieve quality. Taking a look at fire engineering approaches meanwhile, FDS Consult’s Steven Morgan discusses how a strategic approach to this element of fire design can meet duty of care, whilst still achieving the architect’s vision. Finally, tailored safety solutions are required most often in older or heritage buildings, and as historic sites pose many complexities for fire protection, Amanda Hope considers actions for effective systems and installations. We also have three current affairs articles in this issue, with the fi rst a follow up on an earlier article from this year. While government and industry discussions continue post Grenfell, Secured by Design’s Jon Cole updates us on entrance doorsets, and covers key issues that have arisen on that note over the course of 2018. Next, Wayne Terry of the Building Engineering Services Association points to the fact that with fire safety in the spotlight post Grenfell, building owners are increasingly aware of risks from poorly cleaned and maintained ventilation in commercial kitchens. Last but not least, both myself and production editor
Jan Wassall attended the AIRMIC conference in Liverpool back in June, and our report from the event covers a series of workshops examining themes including construction risks, fire spread in high rise buildings, and managing risk in a connected world. You’ll also have noticed that this issue’s centre spread
features information about the Fire Sector Summit and a programme (which was correct at the time of our going to press). For more information on that event, please visit
www.thefpa.co.uk/events/summit.html Our November issue will be focusing on recycling and
waste, including waste management and sustainability risks. If you’d like to contribute an article to a future issue, please get in touch with me at
