Education In Fire Safety Management

The recent graphic televised tragedy of a fire engulfing the block of flats in South London, clearly illustrated the need for diligence and attention to some basic but extremely effective fire safety disciplines which can make the difference between life and something most people can not even bear to think of.

The appreciation of occupant profile within specific built environments should also be considered in order to create a sympathetic yet aggressive strategy for escape and evacuation planning and execution. The determination of simple and effective communication systems, procedures and well-practised discipline also contribute to a robust fire safety management regime.
