BS9999 fire safety of buildings

Building Site on Fire
Statistically you are unlikely to be caught in a fire in your office, the people are awake (unless they are reading this post) and alert, other people in the building are generally aware of the fire safety requirements of the office environment. This new standard has been brought out by the British Standard’s Institute and replaces the BS5588 series of standards, parts of which had already been superseded by the BS5839 Part 8 (Voice Alarm Systems)
For the fire industry BS9999 provides a useful guidance to the process of fire risk assessments from various stages of the buildings existence, from new to refurbished.
