In contemporary architecture and construction, incorporating essential safety measures and fire engineering into building designs is crucial. This proactive approach does not only protect lives and property but can also aid firefighting operations. Fire safety engineering, with its holistic perspective, and design customises strategies to meet specific building needs and occupational use, by enhancing resilience against fire hazards and ensuring firefighters are well-prepared for emergencies. This integration not only improves safety but also equips firefighters with vital tools and knowledge of the building and its ESM. From fire prevention to emergency response, these measures are vital for safeguarding lives, property, and the efficient functioning and integration of the ESM’s as it relates to the building’s design and occupational use. Collaborative efforts among all stakeholders are essential for creating safer and more resilient built environment
