Fire Safety Journal, 1991
Abstract In December 1988 the Construction Product Directive (CPD) was adopted by the Council of the European Communities. It will not be transformed into national legislation of the member states until June 1991. Amongst others, fire safety in buildings is one of the essential requirements of the CPD.

Fire and Materials, 1996
Fire prevention, detection, and suppression requirements for spacecraft are based on those established for terrestrial and aircraft systems. In the weightless (or microgravity) environment of an orbiting spacecraft, however, the buoyant upward flow typical of fires in terrestrial environments is nearly absent; and this feature profoundly influences ...

Smart Fire Safety: Serious Game for Fire Safety Awareness
2018Serious game is used as an educational tool to teach about some complex actions in the real world. Serious game helps to visualize different situations which the learner has not experienced in real life. Fire accidents are occurring generally due to careless handling of flammable substances.

Commentary on Fire Safety Requirements: Circulation and Fire Safety in Buildings
Journal of Applied Fire Science, 1990This chapter presents seven principles of fire-safe planning, including alternate routes, limited travel, adequate and unobstructed width, increasing safety, fire separation and clear definition of escape routes. The concept of fire safety implies relative safety for the occupants and firefighters in a building, during the time that they are trying to ...

Accident Analysis & Prevention, 1974
This paper summarizes some of the more important methods that have been proposed in the literature for assessing the safely of a structure on a quantitative basis and for determining what consititutes an acceptable risk. These methods have hitherto been applied in branches of engineering such as design of aircraft and dams and design of buildings ...

The study of the response of structures to fire is a relatively niche field. It is rare to find this subject in the curriculum or even as a topic of research in most civil engineering departments worldwide. There are consequences to the lack of attention to this important topic in terms of the level of safety provided to structures against the fire ...

The present study provides an overview of the terminology and concepts of fire safety with particular emphasis on the workplace setting. Various issues, such as fire protection codes, standards, and regulations, fire safety fundamentals, features of building construction related to fire protection and employee response to emergencies have been examined.
