“…By dividing these ratios, the chance of being killed in a clothing-related fire is about seven times greater than for all textiles on average and for nightwear, nine times. Thus, although Table 2 An analysis of the more detailed data from the UK, DTI Consumer Unit database via HASS [1] and published sources [50][51][52][53] enables other risk factors to be assessed. Figure 4 shows the involvement of various garment types in clothing fire incidences considered in this study for the period 1990-1998.…”
