6.1 Risk reduction
The top priority in fire risk management is to minimize potential damage to both human life and material property. Combining steel's intrinsic resilience to high temperatures with a range of safety systems is essential for effective risk reduction. Highly sensitive fire detection devices, coupled with rapid protection systems, play a crucial role in preventing the compromise of structural integrity during fires.
