Today we sit down with safety science leader George Boustras - a professor at European University Cyprus, UNESCO Chair in Disaster Risk Reduction and Societal Safety in South East Mediterranean and founder of Centre of Excellence in Risk & Decision Sciences (CERIDES). With George we try to examine fire engineering from the wider safety lens, exploring why culture—not just compliance—decides outcomes.We unpack a practical definition of safety as managed risk and follow the hard-earned lessons from Bradford City, King's Cross, and Piper Alpha to today's performance-based thinking. George explains why engineering effort should focus where complexity and uncertainty truly demand it, and why modeling without common sense leads to false confidence. We dive into real-world behavior in tunnels, the gap between ASET/RSET and what people do under stress, and how a strong safety culture aligns design, operations, and maintenance across a building's life.The conversation tackles urgent risks that don't fit old patterns: lithium-ion battery fires in dense urban housing, micromobility charging in corridors, and emerging wildfire exposure in regions with little prior experience. We outline what works—education that starts early and persists, firm rules with clear roles for citizens, measurable campaigns, and system-level discipline. Borrowing from occupational safety, we highlight safety cases, annual risk assessments, and psychosocial insights that improve decision-making. And we spotlight the “fire scenario” as a powerful, testable playbook for how alarms, fans, dampers, and doors should behave, creating a living matrix for commissioning and maintenance.If you care about moving beyond checklists to safety that holds up under pressure, this conversation is for you. Subscribe, share with a colleague, and leave a review with your biggest safety culture challenge—we'll feature the most compelling ideas in a future episode.Learn more about CERIDES at https://cerides.euc.ac.cy/----The Fire Science Show is produced by the Fire Science Media in collaboration with OFR Consultants.

Some episodes help you protect your money. Some help you protect everything your money makes possible. This episode does both. Joe Saul-Sehy and OG welcome fire safety expert Steve Kerber from UL's Fire Safety Research Institutes, who delivers simple, practical, "do this today" steps that dramatically increase your home's safety. From upgrading outdated smoke alarms to understanding lithium-ion battery risks to spotting hidden hazards most people walk past every single day, Steve gives everyday Stackers the tools to keep their homes and families safer. This isn't scare tactics. It's straightforward guidance from someone who's spent his career studying what actually prevents fires and saves lives. Then the show shifts gears for the headline segment. Joe and OG unpack T. Rowe Price's latest Global Retirement Survey to explore what savers around the world are most anxious about right now. How are people adapting to inflation? Are retirement expectations shifting across different countries? What can you learn from how others are handling the same fears you probably have? The data reveals patterns that might surprise you and insights you can actually use to build more confidence in your own retirement planning. Between these two segments, you'll get Doug's trivia throwdown, a TikTok detour through airport lounge mythology, and a few classic basement moments that remind you why this show mixes serious topics with serious fun. It's a wide-ranging episode packed with actionable takeaways and a good reminder that your financial plan works best when your home, your health, and your long-term outlook are all protected. What You'll Walk Away With: • The small home safety upgrades that make the biggest difference in fire prevention • Why smoke alarms fail more often than you think and how to pick the right replacement • Lithium-ion battery safety covering where to store them, what to avoid, and which myths to ignore • How real-world fire prevention thinking overlaps with smart financial planning habits • What savers around the world worry about most when it comes to retirement • How inflation, longevity concerns, and economic uncertainty are reshaping retirement expectations globally • Practical steps to feel more confident about your long-term retirement plan based on what the data reveals • Permission to take simple safety steps today that your future self will thank you for This Episode Is For You If: • You can't remember the last time you checked your smoke alarms (or know they're overdue for replacement) • You've got lithium-ion batteries around the house but aren't sure if you're storing them safely • You're curious what retirement worries look like around the world and how yours compare • You want retirement insights based on actual data instead of just one expert's opinion • You believe protecting what you have is just as important as growing what you're building Before You Hit Play, Ask Yourself: When's the last time you actually tested your smoke alarms or checked their expiration dates? And what's your biggest retirement worry right now? Drop both answers in the comments because Steve's fire safety tips and the global retirement data might address fears you didn't even realize were universal.

Let's get the scary part out of the way first. Your mid-century house, the one you love for its charm and quirks, does not comply with the modern building code. Now, no one is going to knock on your door tomorrow demanding you rewire every outlet in the house. Your home is currently grandfathered into every code statute written and approved after the day it was built. This status is a free pass for your house to just exist ... until you decide it's time to actually start remodeling.In Today's Episode You'll Hear:Why your home's grandfathered status ends the moment you start remodeling.What the building code is really for (hint: the answer is not “making your life difficult”).How code compliance requirements create design opportunities.Get the full show notes with all the trimmings at https://www.midmod-midwest.com/2216Like and subscribe at Apple | Spotify | YouTube.

It is a massive effort to rewrite a national fire safety code around measurable risk, explicit targets, and cost-effectiveness. But sometimes, there are great reasons to do so. In this episode, together with Gianluca De Sanctis and Sofia Kourgiantaki we take you inside Switzerland's sweeping reform, where a new federal law sets a maximum individual risk for life safety, ties property protection to a clear marginal cost rule, and harmonises practice across cantons. Together, we trace how the framework defines acceptance criteria, builds a shared “model code” of probabilistic inputs, and keeps prescriptive pathways for standard projects—only now grounded in risk-optimised measures.You'll hear how the system replaces vague equivalence with transparent math. Life safety is anchored at 5×10^-5 fatalities per user per year; if a building exceeds that threshold, measures are required until it doesn't, regardless of cost. Beyond the threshold, optimisation is driven by the marginal cost principle and a nationally defined social willingness to pay, aligning fire with flood, transport, and earthquake risk policy. For property, the rule is simple and strict: do not spend more than the expected damage you remove.While the code was being developed, Sofia put the method to the test in a retail centre case study using Bayesian networks and ASET/RSET. The model compared detection, sprinklers, and smoke exhaust while capturing occupancy, fuel loads, growth rates, system reliability, and fire service response. The surprising result: in a seven-meter hall, detection met the life-safety target on its own, and the most cost-effective optimisation paired detection with sprinklers, while smoke exhaust added little benefit in that geometry. The lesson isn't that one system always wins; it's that context and data should decide, not habit.Switzerland didn't stop at policy. A peer-review approval process, ETH's advanced training in probability and risk, and a national model code make the approach usable and reviewable. The reform is in technical review ahead of political approval, with mechanisms for minor updates as evidence grows.

SHOW NOTES: Coast to coast and floorboards to shingles, this is The Money Pit! As we enter this wonderful, thankful time of year, we are focused on making sure your home is prepped to look nice and stay safe before the holiday guests and cooking sprees begin. Listen in for this week's home improvement topics and calls, including: - Refreshing Your Home's Exterior: Fall provides crisp, dry weather that is perfect for refreshing your exterior paint. We'll give you some tips on how to boost curb appeal and better protect your home. - Preventing Holiday Plumbing Disasters: Before guests arrive, take steps to avoid kitchen clogs and toilet backups, such as avoiding putting grease, potato peels, or bones down the garbage disposal. - Essential Fire Safety for the Season: Holiday lights and decorations can increase fire risks, so use surge protectors and avoid daisy-chaining extension cords, which can overload wires. Also, always remember that unattended cooking is the leading cause of home fires. - Quick Clean-Up Preparation: Since spills are inevitable during big meals, prep a quick grab-and-go stain-fighting kit with essentials like paper towels, a carpet-safe stain remover, white vinegar, and a scrub brush.   Q & A: - Cameron has a 100-year-old home with counterweighted windows, and he needs to restring the weights. To fix this, he needs to carefully remove the interior trim/casing to gain access to the cavity behind the sash, making sure to use a utility knife to cut the paint seam first to avoid damage while repairing the window. - Nicole is dealing with loud banging pipes in the basement every time water is run. The noise is either "water hammer" from loose pipes shaking against the wood framing, or the well pump turning on and off too frequently. - Linda wants to build a single concrete structure that can serve as a patio in the summer and a covered carport for her collectible car in the winter. To get a solid, permanent base, we recommend consulting with a professional. - Bill installed a new LED light fixture and noticed there is a 1.5 to 2-second delay before the light actually comes on when flipped. This behavior is actually normal due to the complex internal circuitry required to bring the light up and maintain the correct level. - Gail emailed to say she recently moved and asked how to stop the stains left by falling acorns on her concrete driveway. The recommended solution is to stay on top of maintenance by scrubbing the stains with a strong solution of oxygenated bleach.   ASK A QUESTION: Need help with your own home improvement or décor question?

SHOW NOTES: It's spooky season and cozy season, which means the weather is outstanding for tackling home improvement projects, both inside and out. Coming up, we're sharing a quick heating system checkup, life-saving fire safety tips, and creative ideas for decorating your yard safely for Halloween! Let's get to it! - Heating System Seasonal Checkup: Don't wait until the first frost to discover your heating system isn't working! We will walk you through the steps for furnaces, boilers, or heat pumps to keep your home warm, safe, and energy efficient all winter long. - Fire Safety and Prevention: Since October is Fire Safety Month, we share practical, life-saving tips that every household should know, including the importance of developing and practicing a home escape plan. - Safe Halloween Decorating: We provide creative tips for decorating your outdoor space for Halloween safely, whether you're adding a few eerie touches or going for a full haunted house vibe. - Interior Lighting Tips: Since the days are getting darker earlier, consider swapping out cool-toned bulbs for warm white LEDs to make cozy corners more inviting. You can also add personality and light using beautiful plug-in sconces, which require no complex electrical work.   Q & A: - Vincent from Delaware was concerned about recent cracking in his cousin's 1930s brick home. We recommend hiring an ASHI (American Society of Home Inspectors) certified professional home inspector for diagnostic advice, or, if the problem is severe, a structural engineer who can specify the required repair. - Mike from Chicago found that his walls likely had no insulation and asked for safe options to insulate the brick while avoiding moisture issues. We advise that his primary option is the disruptive project of removing the interior drywall to install rigid foam insulation sheets. He can also focus on cutting down drafts by caulking around windows and trim, plus maximizing attic insulation. - Sue noticed moss growing on her roof and wanted to know more about using copper flashing to prevent buildup. We confirm that copper flashing is effective because the metal naturally fights moss and mildew as rain washes over it. - Tim planned to install luxury vinyl flooring and asked if an additional sound barrier was necessary. We feel that no additional sound deadener is needed because the flooring is going directly over concrete. - Sherry from Iowa asked if it was worthwhile to have her air ducts or furnace ducts cleaned in her 50-year-old home. We believe that duct cleaning is typically not needed unless there's an existing problem, and the best preventative measure is to invest in a high-quality air filter and replace it regularly.   ASK A QUESTION: Need help with your own home improvement or décor question?
