Our guideline

(see full document attached below)

We facilitated the development of this guideline through the efforts and experience of numerous members' personnel and external bodies. This team constituted our Tunnel Fire Safety Committee. It is understood that either through legislation or the choice of tunnel developers, fire brigade comment is usually sought.

The use and application of this guideline is for the purpose of providing a benchmark. However, due to the fact that tunnel technology develops quickly, fire services should be open to alternative strategies to those contained within this document.
