Abstract:
Historically, most fire safety regulation has been on
the basis of fire hazard analysis, where such
assessments were based on the judgment of experts.
Today formal, scientifically based fire hazard analysis
(FHA) is common and increasingly being required as a
means to avert certain outcomes, regardless of their
likelihood. This chapter will discuss the differences
between hazard and risk analysis, the process of
performing an FHA, and resources available to assist in
this process.
