A:Now the entire construction industry is particularly focused on fire safety right now, and electricians installing cable have a very important role to play. Use standard PVC cable by mistake, for example, and it will release thick black smoke and toxic gases when reacting to fire – a potentially life-threatening error.Smoke and fumes can be more of hazard than flame in the early stages of a fire when occupants are trying to escape – particularly in a public building, such as an airport, train station or hospital, where people may not be familiar with the layout of the building or the position of exits.
