Italian hybrid fire prevention code

Fire safety of residential buildings and activities subjected to fire inspection is a difficult task, especially when the safety targets have to be adopted in built buildings or in activities that are going to be modified into more complex ones. Generally, these circumstances show more constraints and it could be difficult to achieve an acceptable level of fire residual risk by prescriptive based fireregulations. Therefore, the Italian National Fire Rescue and Service in charge for fire safety, in August 2015 issued a new Fire Prevention Code whose design methodology is more oriented to fire performance based design rather than prescriptive fire codes. The flexibility of this new fire design methodology offers a very complex tool to experts in order to design fire safety measures and strategies of buildings and activities subjected to fire inspection. The present paper aims tohighlig hts the contents and the fire safety strategy design methodology of the new Italian Fire Prevention Code

BUILDING PROTECTION DESIGN IN FIRE HAZARD PREVENTION (CASE STUDY: FAJAR UNIVERSITY BUILDING (UNIFA) MAKASSAR)

The growth and arrangement of existing buildings are sometimes not balanced with the readiness of building and urban infrastructure. The main danger of fire for humans is poisoning due to inhalation of smoke, about 75% of human deaths in burning buildings are caused by smoke, about 25% of deaths are caused by heat generated by fire. To carry out the functions and uses, the building consists of several systems, the system consists of sub-systems that form integrally in a single unit. Fire prevention is one of the building systems, which aims to save lives. Fire prevention is one aspect of building safety. To find out and assess the level of reliability of a building against fire hazards, a problem formulation is formulated, namely How to design a fire prevention analysis that can be applied to buildings. The conclusion that can be drawn regarding the design of a fire prevention inspection system and its application is, the design of a building reliability inspection system in fire prevention is one of the tools in assessing and inspecting buildings for fire prevention measures in buildings. Inspection of building reliability in fire prevention is carried out at the smallest level or on building components, can provide a more detailed assessment/inspection of the fire prevention system, Assessment of Rescue Means Components, Assessment of Active Protection Components, Passive Protection Assessment Means

Examining the value of fire prevention inspections in commercial occupancies

This research paper will evaluate the value of conducting fire prevention inspections within the commercial occupancy and the associated reduction in the occurrence of fires. While the fire problem within the United States has experienced a decline in the number of fires and fire related injuries, the reality is that the nation continues to experience significant fire loss. With the introduction of more comprehensive codes and standards, the enforcement of fire regulations becomes paramount in maintaining a fire safe community. Typically, fire prevention enforcement is accomplished through annual fire inspections performed by the fire department. While personnel within the fire prevention division have primarily performed fire inspections, increasingly more and more departments are utilizing firefighters to perform fire inspections in order to meet the increasing demand for inspections. The ideal solution for determining the effectiveness of fire prevention activities would be to measure the number of fires abated by the efforts of fire prevention inspections. However, directly measuring what has not occurred is not a reasonable means of evaluating fire prevention effectiveness. A reasonable methodology is found in evaluating the reduction in the number of fires for a defined population through the efforts of fire prevention. This research demonstrates the positive impact that annual fire prevention inspections have on reducing the occurrence of fires in the commercial occupancy. As the demand for community dollars becomes increasingly more competitive, the need to justify and account for each dollar are substantially escalated, and the efforts of fire prevention are often the victim of budgetary reductions imposing an unintentional impact to the community

Polyimide foams provide thermal insulation and fire protection
