This duty is imposed on a \"Responsible Person\" and also on any other persons having control of buildings in compliance with the requirements specified in the regulations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlthough regulations only require a qualitative assessment of fire risk, a quantitative assessment is an essential first step for performing cost-benefit analysis of alternative fire strategies to comply with the regulations and selecting the most cost-effective strategy. To facilitate this assessment, various qualitative, semi-quantitative and quantitative techniques of fire risk assessment, already developed, are critically reviewed in this book and some improvements are suggested. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is intended to be an expanded version of Part 7: Probabilistic risk assessment, 2003, a Published Document (PD) to British Standard BS 7974: 2001 on the Application of Fire Safety Engineering Principles to the Design of Buildings.
