Download or read book Fire Safety and Loss Prevention written by Kevin A. Cassidy and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fire Safety and Loss Prevention explores the ramifications of fire prevention and how the security department can implement fire safety systems and designs, even when fire codes conflict with prudent security practices. Fire Safety and Loss Prevention is a necessity for security directors, managers, and supervisors as well as owners of health care, retail, and commercial facilities. With all the various building codes, life safety codes, and fire codes, one must become familiar with every aspect of a building's design prior to formulating a strategic fire safety plan. Critical decisions must be made regarding the conflicting importance of fire safety versus security. Often security priorities must be lowered in deference to fire safety mandates, which are required by law. This book recommends practical advice for situations ranging from conflicting codes and regulations to criminal liability to handling hazardous materials.

Download or read book Industrial Fire Control Concepts written by Jeffrey Moore and published by . This book was released on 2022-04-15 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Industrial Fire Control Concepts is a facility fire protection course in book format. For more than sixty years, between 1946 and 2007, Industrial Risk Insurers offered an intensive week-long industrial fire protection course in their Hartford (CT) Loss Prevention Training Center and at other facilities worldwide. Thousands of facility managers, plant engineers, safety supervisors, insurance loss control engineers, government officials, and many others benefitted from the course. Although this course concentrated on fundamental fire control concepts, participants often felt like they were drinking from a fire hose. They left the course with a thick binder full of handouts, articles, notes, references, and other information they could put to immediate use at their facilities. A common refrain from participants was, "Why isn't all this information available in a book someplace?" In 1988 the first edition of Industrial Fire Control Concepts attempted to fill this need. Recognizing that many individuals responsible for facility fire protection decisions have no formal fire protection training, this third edition continues the mission of providing a foundation in fire safety concepts allowing the development and implementation of effective site-specific fire protection and fire control strategies. In this content-rich, heavily illustrated book, you will learn the: ? scope of the fire problem and the often-ignored lessons of past industrial fire disasters? basic concepts behind the development and spread of a fire? holistic systems approach to facility fire safety and fire control? operation, application, and limitations of various fire protection systems and features? necessity of a properly arranged fire protection water supply system? management programs necessary for an effective facility fire control program? special fire control concerns of information technology (IT) operations, warehousing and storage, flammable and combustible liquids, and combustible dust The text contains many practical fire safety concepts that you can use immediately. Throughout the text, conversations with the "Wise Old Fire Protection Engineer" provide valuable information addressing a myriad of common fire protection and fire risk management questions and concerns.
