The Fire Precautions Act in Practice.

Trade Paperback. Waterstain mark to top edge of first couple of pages. Written by a team of expert advisers, it describes in straightforward language the kind of work that needs to be done in securing means of escape, including devices and fire facilities that might be installed, and explains the legislative and procedural framework within which the Act operates. There is a clear, compact summary of the Act itself, incorporating the new legislation which, early in 1977, extended the scope of the Act to cover factories, offices, shops and railway premises. Although the book relates mainly to legislation in the UK, fire is a subject of universal concern and the advice given here will be of great value to hoteliers, building professionals, fire officers and insurance inspectors everywhere. Illustrated. 78 pp.
