- Abstract
- The Department of Health, Education, and Welfare believes that a new tool developed by the National Bureau of Standards can help health care facilities across the country save about one-half the amount they would otherwise have to spend to bring their buildings up to presently required levels of fire safety. Over a period of years, this could add up to as much as a billion dollars.
