Local authorities require standards to support building control officers, and their need to ensure that buildings are safe and comply with the Building Regulations.
British Standards provides many publications relevant to emergency planning with specific standards covering:
- Emergency lighting
- Fire precautions
- Ergonomic design of control centres
- Records management (A guide to disaster prevention & recovery).
Listed below are some of the key publications for those involved in Emergency Planning within Local Authorities. If you need more specific and detailed information on Building and Construction, Fire and Information Communication and Technology standards or related products visit our dedicated microsites.
For a complete listing of standards or to search for a particular standard or publication please visit our electronic catalogue, British Standards Online and use the search function.
