Managing fire safety starts with the initial design of a building. The design should minimize the risk of fire and ensure that, if a fire does occur, appropriate fire safety systems (including active, passive, and procedural systems) are in place.
The management of fire safety is an essential element in averting disaster in the event of a fire. Although many buildings will never have a serious life-threatening fire, it is essential for fully functional fire safety procedures to be an integral part of every building. The following BSI standards and publications on fire safety are essential reading for a wide audience, from company directors to fire wardens.
After over 10 years in development, BSI British Standards has published BS 9999:2008 Code of practice for fire safety in the design, management and use of buildings.
BS 9999 gives recommendations and guidance on the design, management and use of buildings to achieve acceptable levels of fire safety for all people in and around buildings.
