Fire and Explosion Engineers work with Product Safety, they ensure adequate prevention of fire hazards through robust design and work with a wide range of engineering stakeholders.

The team ensures fire incidents can be detected and recovered to a safe state (e.g. through application of firefighting systems), ensuring on board personnel can escape to a place of safety and that submarine systems are able to withstand such events safely.
