Episode 1: Ian Doncaster and Pieter Lafosse, recorded at The Fire Safety Event.The Smoke Control Show is Lorenzo Jones and some industry colleagues having a chat about smoke control, usually somewhere near a cup of coffee. Standards, products, the Building Safety Act, and some bits you don't usually hear.In this first episode, the conversation keeps coming back to one word: competent. Who is, who isn't, and who's checking.

We get into: What "competent" actually means for designers, installers, inspectors and maintainers. Why experience isn't the same thing as competence ("some people have 2 years experience 5 times"). What the Building Safety Act has actually changed for designers on site, and what it hasn't. Why a stack of CE-marked products doesn't add up to a working system, End-to-end testing and the systems that have never been properly tested, 10 years on from Grenfell, the lessons learned, and the ones that haven't been guests: Ian Doncaster: Fire And Smoke Solutions. SCA representative. IMechE rep on BSI FSH25 fire standards committee. BSI rep on the CEN committee for EN12101. Pieter Lafosse: Business Development, Geostef (Belgium).
