Fire Safety Regulations Guide

Step 1. Identifying Fire Hazards

For a fire to start, three things are needed:

  • a source of ignition
  • fuel
  • oxygen.

If any one of these is missing, a fire cannot start.

Taking measures to avoid the three coming together will therefore reduce the chances of a fire occurring.

The remainder of this step will advise on how to identify potential ignition sources, the materials that might fuel a fire and the oxygen supplies which will help it burn.
