This easy-to-read publication is a comprehensive guide to the allied subjects of fire prevention, fire protection and fire safety management. The approach adopted is to divide 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. Originally published as Guide to Fire Safety, this updated edition has completely new chapters on fire risk assessment, fire safety engineering, human behaviour in fire and voice alarm systems. Most importantly, the section on legislation has been substantially revised to take account of the major changes which have taken place since the first edition.

Intended for the non-specialist, Fire Precautions: A Guide for Management provides comprehensive guidance on all aspects of fire safety, so constituting a valuable reference for health and safety practitioners, facilities managers, building managers, building service engineers and others with responsibility for fire precautions in buildings. It also forms a useful resource, at a basic level, for fire safety professionals.
