Towards A Systemic Approach To Fire Safety

Beard, A.N., 1986. Towards A Systemic Approach To Fire Safety. Fire Safety Science 1: 943-952. doi:10.3801/IAFSS.FSS.1-943


ABSTRACT

In order to understand fully the nature of fire safety, which encompasses social values and engineering hardware, it is necessary to consider it as a part of a 'dynamic whole’. Fire may be regarded as a failure of a system. A methodology which may be of help in attempting to approach fire safety from this point of view is suggested.
