This important new book, the first of its kind in the fire safety
field, discusses the economic problems faced by decision-makers in
the areas of fire safety and fire precautions. The author considers
the theoretical aspects of cost-benefit analysis and other relevant
economic problems with practical applications to fire protection
systems. Clear examples are included to illustrate these techniques
in action. The work covers: * the performance and effectiveness of
passive fire protection measures such as structural fire resistance
and means of escape facilities, and active systems such as
sprinklers and detectors * the importance of educating for better
understanding and implementation of fire prevention through
publicity campaigns and fire brigade operations * cost-benefit
analysis of fire protection measures and their combinations, taking
into account trade-offs between these measures. The book is
essential reading for consultants and academics in construction
management, economics and fire safety, as well as for insurance and
risk management professionals.
