INTRODUCTION FOR FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEMS – SERVICING AND INTRODUCTION

Fire protection engineering (also known as fire engineering or fire safety engineering) is the application of science and engineering principles to protect people and their environments from the destructive effects of fire and smoke.

The discipline of fire protection engineering includes, but is not exclusive to:

• Active fire protection – fire suppression systems, and fire alarm.
• Passive fire protection – fire and smoke barriers, space separation
• Smoke control and management
• Building design, layout, and space planning
• Fire prevention programs
• Fire dynamics and fire modeling
• Human behavior during fire events
• Risk analysis, including economic factors

In practice, fire protection engineers (FPE) typically identify risks and design safeguards that aid in preventing, controlling, and mitigating the effects of fires. Fire protection engineers assist architects in evaluating buildings life safety and property protection goals. FPEs are also employed as fire investigators, including such very large-scale cases such as the analysis of the collapse of the World Trade Center. NASA uses fire protection engineers in its space program to help improve safety.

LEARNING BENEFITS

At the end of the programme, participants will be able to:-

• develop a working knowledge of the various fire protection systems ;
• differentiate between the different classes of fire;
• understand better the design, construction, operations and maintenance requirements of fire protection systems;
• implement strategies and methodologies to create an effective fire equipment maintenance programme ;
• enhance their knowledge and skills to identify and address operational problems at
  all levels;
• implement maintenance plans that are cost effective and aligned to the organisation’s strategic goals;
• improve performance by developing detailed specifications with service partners;
• establish an effective maintenance team.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
The objective of this programme / course is to introduce participants to the various aspects of Fire Protection Enginering, to improve and develop further the pariticipants appreciation on the safety aspects and also on how to overcome problems etc. associated with Fire Protection Enginering.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Facilities engineers, maintenance engineers, design engineers, production and manufacturing engineers, process engineers, process designers, plant engineers, technicians and any one involved in fire protection systems and would like to widen their knowledge.
