SUMMARY
This information sheet provides guidance on modelling of pool fires hazards on steel decking. Initial experimental work at the Health and Safety Laboratory (HSL), Buxton has indicated that pool fires not contained by a bund are liable to cause severe deck plate buckling and possible weld shear.
