Fire Safety Hackathon

The Association for Project Safety (APS)We are a leading professional institution in the field of construction health and safety risk management. We strive to continuously improve and promote the professional practice of design and construction health and safety risk management. We play a leading role in helping the industry meet the many challenges of implementing CDM2015 effectively and proportionately, and driving the new focus on health.Institution of Engineering Technology (IET)We are the IET and we inspire, inform and influence the global engineering community to engineer a better world. As a diverse home across engineering and technology, we share knowledge that helps make better sense of the world in order to solve the challenges that matter. It’s why we are uniquely placed to champion engineering.

About the event 
The event is a collaboration between the IET, the Association for Project Safety [APS] and Hack_Construct, bringing together the worlds of coding, new technology and traditional engineering to revolutionise the traditional field of fire safety.
The Hackathon follows on from a successful introductory event also held at IET London: Savoy Place in November 2018, when teams were formed to take forward fire safety projects for possible commercial development. This marks the next stage of the process.
The Grenfell Tower disaster was a game changer for fire safety. Following the tragedy and subsequent recommendations by Dame Judith Hackitt in her 'Building a Safer Future' report, the construction industry is now looking to offer potential solutions to improve fire safety design and regulations. As a result, the engineering and risk management communities are further committing to take fire safety seriously by tapping into new technologies to develop commercial solutions.
There are cash prizes for the top 3 solutions. We are also hoping to bring together a group of AEC funders and entrepeneurs to enable further development of the products.

This free event will bring together industry experts, building owners, tech start-ups, coders, students and developers with the aim of creating new fire safety solutions that will radically change the face of fire safety in the UK and around the world.
It represents a chance for these different groups to get together and develop projects that could help save lives worldwide, and come up with proposals which can be taken on for further commercial development. Please attend even if you believe you do not have a prticualr experience as we would have mentors for he event who would bring weath of experience and broader knowledge. 
We need better solutions, we need the best players. You are the future makers, lets build a safer built environment togther.
