Book excerpt: Fundamentals of Fire Protection for the Safety Professional provides safety managers with a guide for incorporating fire hazard awareness and protection into their safety management plans. Industrial fires pose one of the greatest threats to organizations in terms of financial, human, and property losses. Understanding fire safety basics, the physics of fire, and the properties and classes of common hazards is key to designing fire safety management programs that not only protect an organization’s assets but also ensure the safe evacuation of all involved. Fundamentals of Fire Protection for the Safety Professional takes an in-depth look at fire hazards in the workplace—from the substances required to do business to the building construction itself—and provides practical fire safety principles that can be applied in any work environment. Readers will learn how to develop emergency action plans and fire prevention plans, implement effective alarm and detection systems and fire extinguishment systems, and develop a comprehensive fire program management plan that is in compliance with Federal Emergency Management Agency, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, Environmental Protection Agency, and National Fire Protection Association standards. Each chapter includes a chapter summary and sample problems, making this an ideal training tool in the workplace or the classroom. Answers to chapter questions and a comprehensive glossary and index are provided at the end of the book.

This book was released on 2015-08-06 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Protection Against Fire, the Best Means of Putting Out Fires in Cities, Towns, and Villages: Practical Suggestions for the Security of Life and Property Near the close of a hot summer day, many years since, the people of Charlestown, Massachusetts, were startled by the cry of "fire." On a small house near the bridge, there was a little fire, perhaps three feet in diameter. An earnest man could have dashed it out in a minute or two, with a pail of water. No one, however, made an attempt to do what every one supposed would be done in a few minutes but the firemen. The firemen did not come as expected, and as there was a high wind, the fire quadrupled its proportions every minute, and soon the flames leaped upon two large buildings, which before the first engine go to work were well all on fire. The people now saw their error, but it was too late. The engine was powerless, and soon other great buildings were in flames, and a conflagration was imminent.
