Help you minimise risk of fire in the workplace

Process fire precautions 

Some examples of process fire precautions are:

• storage of flammable liquids in process areas, workrooms, laboratories and similar working areas

• ventilation systems to dilute or remove flammable gas or vapour

• selecting equipment that will not be a source of ignition

• extraction systems to remove combustible materials such as wood dust

Building regulations

They define the types of buildings and building work which are subject to controls and specify the requirements for building design and construction in relation to, for example, the health and safety of building users, energy conservation, access and facilities for the disabled, and fire safety (including means of warning; escape routes; internal and external fire spread)
