Following my recent thread on Hospital #firesafety issues,will be picking up on a couple of interesting cases & drilling into the detail.

Interested to hear from anyone who’s familiar with the fire safety & cladding issues at @KingsCritCare given the major incident declaration https://twitter.com/byjessicadavies/status/1286679125374238723
Ok little bit of digging into hospital cladding and we’re back full circle to building regs let down by poorly drafted @govuk guidance

Think it’s bad in residential highrise - well the HTM FireCode 05-02 guide is woefully inadequate referring to Class O or Euro Class B only
Not one mention of restricting combustible cladding such as ACM HPL or foam insulation on hospitals at any height!

No mention of BS8414 tests to external wall or cladding systems

Now remember my hospital thread and number over 11m, 18m, 30m - well now we have a major problem!
