E – Fire protection (1995)

This code sets out the fire prevention and protection rules and procedures to be followed in order to ensure primarily the safety and well-being of anyone and to protect the property on CERN’s premises. It lays down the procedures to be observed concerning the construction, alteration and use of buildings or installations, the safety standards for furniture and contents of buildings and the procedure applicable to the fire permit for work with “hot” tools. It gives information on fire-detection and extinguishing appliances and provides essential information in the event of a fire.
