Fire Safety Management (New ed)

This is a practical hands-on guide to fire safety management presenting good practice advice on legal, financial and business context.

Sections on writing a fire policy, organizing staff training including a full fire training manual, and a log-book record enable users to put in practice a comprehensive and coherent fire safety strategy.

These practical sections are supported by information on the legal provisions such as Fire Precautions Act 1971 and new Workplace Regulations.

Other chapters cover fire prevention and defence systems, and the management of alterations to buildings with particular relevance to fire safety and environmental concerns.

References to relevant documentation including British Standards, audit checklists and further information sources, especially for special types of building such as heritage buildings, shops, hotels, libraries and construction sites, are provided.

In addition a disk of documents, including a fire risk assessment checklist and log-book for fire drills and training, is included.
