Defining the boundaries of responsibility for structural engineers' duties, further calls for simplifying safety margins in Eurocodes, and some thoughts on fire engineering in the wake of the Grenfell Tower tragedy are discussed.

Stephen Hargreaves discusses three evolving areas of practice that bring their own risks.
