Video: Fire: Understanding Part B

Understanding Part B of the Building Regulations is an important part of any construction professional's job in designing for fire safety. A major revamp of the regulations came into force in 2007, but getting to grips with new Approved Document B accompanying the regulations is easier said than done. For a start, it's twice the size of the previous edition. It includes major changes to the compliance criteria and greater technical detail, and it's published in two parts to cover domestic and non-domestic buildings.

In this programme, we discuss the changes relating to residential and non-residential buildings, and the effectiveness of the new Approved Document B.
