NOT ONLY JOB VACANCIES WE ARE CARE ABOUT YOUR SAFETY IN THE FIELD OF CONSTRUCTION. LEARN ABOUT FIRE SAFETY

Fire safety decisions are mainly dominated by building codes or regulations, linked standards of practice, and insurance considerations. This is usually because they have been a part of the building process for almost a century and have established achievement in reducing fire losses.

Active fire defences

A machine or action that must receive a stimulus to take action in a real or a perceived fire condition.

Automatic detection and fire alarm system

• Fire detection
• Alert or Alarm process
• Fire department announcement process
• Tenant alerting procedure 
• Equipment activation 

Fire detectors are little devices that intelligence the intrusion of burning stuff, Detectors can be

Designed to sense heat, smoke, flame or other products of burning Performance

efficiency depends on their position relative to the fire, the movement of the burning

stuff, and detector sensitivity. These instruments may notice or detect fires ranging in amount from very small to comparatively large.

Water sprinkler system

Water sprinklers spay an automatic spray to the area of fire outbreak.

heads contain temperature-sensitive components that react instantly to heat releasing the

contents of the water main to which they are connected. In addition to a fast response which

reduces and isolates fire injury.  water sprinklers use less water than fire-fighting

Service, to control the fire.

                                                                 

Special Hazard Automatic Suppression Systems

• Carbon dioxide systems
• Dry chemical systems
• Foam agent systems
• Water-spray systems

Some buildings materials (Flammable liquids, gases, some chemicals and some materials) are easily ignitable and speedy burning. typically the building's functional operations use these materials. There can happen special hazards in commercial or manufacturing buildings such as storage tanks for flammable liquids. regularly these hazards are located in a smaller area within larger working spaces, therefore automatic protection for this area is spot protection or specific hazard protection. 

Automatic extinguishing systems customized to the hazard provide rapid extinguishing action and maintain operational Downtime to a lowest. General types of special hazard extinguishing systems are carbon dioxide, foam, dry chemical and water spray systems.

 Hose reels system

Hose reels are the fire-fighting kit for use as a first-aid measure by building occupants. The hose most far-away from the source of water should be capable of releasing. They have to be placed where users are least probable to be endangered by the fire, the staircase landing.

chemical, foam, and water spray systems

• Fire suppression
• Search and rescue
• Property protection and salvage

Occupant Activities

Occupant should inform the fire department' quickly provide assistance or Extinguishment to limit the fire. alert others, information transmitting, Try to protect others and properties escape.

Features

• Smoke management
• Automatic elevator recalls
• The programmed closing of selected doors or ducts
• Emergency lighting and signal sounds
• Communication devices
• Crisis power

Buildings are able to provide numerous special features that help in fire suppression, outlet, and Emergency Operations. 

Altering an air-handling system into an emergency smoke management mode is

becoming a usual feature in many building designs. The smoke managing system often

Attempts to exhaust smoke from fire floors and to force other rooms, such as stairwells and

corridors, preventing smoke from migrating into those places.

Passive, structural Fire protection and egress (outlet)system

Prevents fire spreading to other areas. slow down the fire. providing more time to the occupants to way out. structural fire protection is providing protection against the temperature transfer on building materials or structural parts in buildings. egress part is an expected part of building to provide occupants to way out from emergency situations.
