Details :
An
understanding of the principles of fires and explosions are critical to identifying
how a fire will start and spread, the former of which is known as primary fire
hazards, each of which has the ability to initiate or start a fire, or
exacerbate a fire. These elements will be required when completing a fire risk
assessment. Explosion and fire are interlinked in that on many occasions; fire
occurs after an explosion, it is therefore essential that those involved with
fire safety and risk management have a basic knowledge of the causes and
properties of explosion, particularly in relation to processes involving gases
and dusts which will be thoroughly covered in this course.
- Outlining
the properties of flammable and explosive materials and the mechanisms by
which they ignite.
- Outlining
the behaviour of structural materials, buildings and contents in a fire.
- Outlining the
main principles and practices of fire and explosion prevention and
protection.
- Outlining the
contribution to mechanical and systems failures to major accidents.
- Explaining the
processes involved in the identification of hazards and the assessment of
risk from fire.
- Describing common
fire detection and alarm systems and procedures.
- Outlining the
factors to be considered when selecting fixed and portable firefighting
equipment for the various types of fire.
- Outlining the
factors to be considered in the provision and maintenance of means of
escape.
- Explaining
the purpose of, and essential requirements for, emergency evacuation
procedures.
- Project
engineers
- Safety and
risk managers
- Supervisors
with safety and health responsibilities
- Facility
personnel who are involved in implementing standards for safety
instrumented systems
