Safety Guidelines and Good Practices for the Management and Retention of Firefighting Water

The safety guidelines and good practices have been developed by the Joint Expert Group on Water and Industrial Accidents, in cooperation with an Expert Group on Fire-water Retention and the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) secretariat, to enhance existing practices regarding firefighting water retention and promote harmonized safety standards. By using these guidelines, governments, competent authorities and operators can more effectively minimize the risk of fire and safely retain firefighting water.--Page 4 of cover.
