A COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE TO FIRE SAFETY

A COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE TO FIRE SAFETY


This easy-to-read publication is virtually unique in the breadth with
which it tackles the allied subjects of fire prevention and fire safety
management. Previously published as Fire Precautions: A guide for
management, this book has been thoroughly revised and updated
to incorporate explanations and guidance relating to the Regulatory
Reform (Fire Safety) Order and related legislation in Scotland and
Northern Ireland.
For clarity of use, A Comprehensive Guide to Fire Safety divides
the subject of fire safety into a number of discrete components,
for example, fire prevention; means of escape; emergency lighting;
fire safety signs; and fire detection and alarm systems as well as COLIN S. TODD
chapters on human behaviour and staff training.
Intended for the non-specialist, A Comprehensive Guide to Fire Safety
provides an in-depth overview of all aspects of fire safety. It is a
valuable reference to provide operational managers with a framework
by which they can implement an effective fire safety strategy to meet
both their own business needs, and those of the government’s new
requirements, in a planned and sustained fashion.
