Fire safety is one of the most important aspects of health and safety to get right as the consequences of not doing so can be catastrophic in both terms of human life and business cost.Each chapter covers an aspect of fire safety and information is relayed in a practical and pragmatic way so that the reader will know what to do and how to do it. Fire safety legislation has been under review for quite a considerable time and a new approach in anticipated during 2004. This will be focused much more on fire risk assessments.
