Reviews
The book is aimed at candidates for the NEBOSH Certificate in Fire Safety but its value goes far beyond such a limited audience, for this is a first-class introduction to all those who need an introduction to safety management generally before focusing on the management of fire in premises. [...] for the specialist Certificate candidate, this will cover everything they need to know. For the rest of us, this is for now the market leader in the principle and practice of fire management. It is highly recommended for its coverage, quality of writing, and ease of understanding. - Review in SAFETY & HEALTH PRACTITIONER, July 2008 It's so straightforward, with easy-to-follow arguments and advice [.]. I have no hesitation in recommending this book to all who have a responsibility for ensuring the safety of others from fire. - Review in HEALTH AND SAFETY AT WORK MAGAZINE, August 2008
