In this episode of the podcast Isolert sett, we had the pleasure of chatting with Morten Berland, an experienced fire engineer from Ignist AS. The conversation focussed on the crucial role passive fire protection plays in protecting life and property.
Berland shared insightful examples of common errors uncovered during independent inspections and challenges that arise due to inadequate final inspection in construction projects. He emphasised the importance of rigorous standards and higher education to enhance the industry's competence.
Among the topics discussed were:
- The most common errors in fire protection inspections.
- Why independent inspections and final inspections are essential.
- The differences between fire protection in construction and offshore environments.
- How standardisation can save lives and improve the industry's reputation.
Morten also highlighted the importance of correct product selection, testing and approval in projects, and why it is critical to invest in competence development.
For those of you who work with fire protection, technology or want a better understanding of how we can create safer environments, this is an episode you won't want to miss.
