Risk-Informed, Performance-Based Industrial Fire Protection
An Alternative to Prescriptive Codes
by Thomas F. Barry, P.E.

In Risk - Informed, Performance Based Industrial Fire Protection, Thomas Barry presents a timely how-to book that bridges the gap between qualitative and quantitative fire risk assessment. The steps, methods, and tools described in the book fill the void between the educated opinion and objective decision support information. "Risk - Informed" adds another dimension to fire safety and fire protection analysis. It provides a path forward for situations where the application of prescriptive codes may not be feasible or cost effective.
