Occupant Toxicity Threat from Rain-Screen Cladding Systems
Listen agiain to Dr James Glockling, Technical Director of the Fire Protection Association, reporting the results of the post-Grenfell RISCAuthority project looking at the potential for occupant exposure to toxic emissions sourced from building fabric materials. This work, conducted in association with UCLAN, suggests that in combination, the lack of protection afforded to occupants from fire ingress by building regulations, and toxicity playing no role in material suitability assessment, occupants may be inadequately protected from harm.
