      • Chapter 1: Elements of a Fire Safety Program 8

        The primary objectives of a fire loss control program is the prevention of fires (pro-active measures) but despite all efforts fire incidents do still occur. Programs should therefore also provide for minimizing losses and injuries when fire incidents occur.

      • CHAPTER 7: CLOSE-DOWN PROCEDURES 8

        Most major fires occur during unoccupied periods and it is therefore of vital importance that a close-down procedure specifically aimed at fire prevention be adopted. This standard covers procedures and checks to be used for normal close-down at the end of a working day and must not be confused with emergency close-downs, witch may require different action. Also, were shift work is involved, care must be taken to incorporate applicable procedures/checks between shifts as well as at end of day or week.
