Abstract
Following the Grenfell Tower tragedy and the subsequent recommendations by Dame Judith Hackitt in her 'Building a Safer Future' report, the construction industry has started to respond, offering potential solutions to improve high-rise fire safety design and regulations.
The Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) and Association for Project Safety (APS) are teaming up to run a series of ‘construction technology’ (#contech) workshops in 2018 and 2019 to explore how new technology integrations could develop much-needed market solutions to known fire safety issues.
The IET and the APS are calling for a mix of industry experts, building owners, tech start-ups, coders and developers to register their interest through the following website:
