What is “Fire Safety Engineering”?
	Fire safety engineering is defined as, “the process of quantifying the risk that a fire hazard presents, taking into account the specifics of the building, its occupancy, its use and the resultant fire dynamics and, if shown to be unacceptable, establishing the measures needed to control the hazard until the risk reaches acceptable levels”.

Approved Document B “Fire Safety” in support of the Building Regulations 2000 suggests,

“Fire safety engineering can provide an alternative approach to fire safety. It may be the only practical way to achieve a satisfactory standard of fire safety in some large and complex buildings, and in buildings containing different uses, e.g. airport terminals”.
