Evacuation training as a part of fire strategies for timber buildings

Menzemer, Leo Willem LU orcid (2022) Nordic Fire and Safety Days 2022 p.112-113
Abstract
With biobased buildings making the transition into mainstream construction, the safety of their occupants needs to be adequately ensured, since the introduction of combustible building materials is bearing fundamental ramifications for fire safety strategies of such buildings. The present work introduces a research project on safe evacuation of timber buildings. More specifically, it targets to investigate the effects from evacuation training of building occupants on the required safe egress time (RSET).
