Principles of Fire & Explosion Hazard Management



Introduction:


An understanding of the principles of Fire and Explosion are critical to identifying how a fire will start and spread, the former of which are 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.

 

The course is designed for employees with fire safety responsibilities in the workplace, including managers, supervisors and anyone in charge of ensuring that their organization meets its fire safety legislation responsibilities. It is also suitable for individuals who are looking into roles as fire safety advisors. No previous health and safety or fire safety knowledge is required. During the course, delegates will gain a thorough knowledge of fire health and safety management, including legal requirements. Also covered are the principles of fire and explosion, fire causes and prevention, fire protection in buildings and safeguarding people in the event of fire.

Course Objectives:


By the end of this course, delegates will be able to:

 

  • Learn the properties of flammable and explosive materials and the mechanisms by which they ignite
  • Identify the behavior of structural materials, buildings and contents in a fire
  • Know the main principles and practices of fire and explosion prevention and protection
  • Outline the contribution to mechanical and systems failures to major accidents
  • Explain the processes involved in the identification of hazards and the assessment of risk from fire
  • Describe common fire detection and alarm systems and procedures
  • Outline the factors to be considered when selecting fixed and portable fire­fighting equipment for the various types of fire
  • State the factors to be considered in the provision and maintenance of means of escape
  • Explain the purpose of and essential requirements for, emergency evacuation procedures
