Special Investigation – SIR/24
December 2008
RECOMMENDATIONS
Exemptions
1. The Board recommends that licensees consider requesting exemptions from fire hazard assessment requirements where it can be demonstrated that circumstances, conditions and practices make the request appropriate.
Fire Hazard Assessment Process
2. The Board recommends that a simpler fire hazard and risk assessment process be developed to accurately assess fire hazard and risk under a wide range of field conditions. This process should include a clear definition of what constitutes a “fire hazard.”
Practices
3. The Board recommends that best management practices to abate fire hazard be developed and shared with licensees and professionals.
