SMOKE CONTROL (I – II – III) COURSE
COURSE PROVIDED BY: SAFETY INNOVATION FOR TRAINING SERVICES
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This three-day course addresses the fundamentals of smoke control, including the underlying principles of smoke control, a discussion of air moving equipment and systems, stairwell pressurization, elevator smoke control, zoned smoke control, automatic controls, and commissioning. Methods of design analysis of pressurization smoke control systems are addressed, including network computer modeling using CONTAM.
Learning Objectives:
Understand the codes and standards that define the design of smoke control systems Understand the benefits of performance-based smoke evacuation Learn how fire suppression and smoke control systems are integratedDemonstrate how computational fluid dynamics (CFD) can be used in performance-based fire protection designs to more accurately predict tenability and exhaust in atria. Identify at least four design considerations for smoke control systemsDetermine airflows—infiltration, exfiltration, and room-to-room airflows in building systems driven by mechanical means, wind pressures acting on the exterior of the building, and buoyancy effects induced by the indoor and outdoor air temperature difference Review a prescriptive smoke exhaust calculation and identify shortcomings. Understand the design criteria and specific design objectives that must be met by smoke management systems and develop suitable criteria. Understand contaminant concentrations—the dispersal of airborne contaminants transported by these air flows; transformed by a variety of processes including chemical and radiochemical transformation, adsorption, and desorption to building materials, filtration, and deposition to building surfaces, and generated by a variety of source mechanisms and/or.Know the effects of personal exposure—the predictions of exposure to occupants to airborne contaminants for eventual risk assessment.
PROTECTING FLAMMABLE AND COMBUSTIBLE LIQUIDS & PROTECTION OF STORAGE OCCUPANCIES
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This three-day course seeks the participants with basic knowledge of the available technology and techniques for protecting these very challenging occupancies and will also provide participants with basic knowledge of protection options available in NFPA 30 and testing programs that may become the basis for future editions of NFPA 30.
Learning Objectives:
Discuss the properties of flammable and combustible liquids and the health and safety dangers they may present if stored or handled improperlyExplain storage arrangements and associated terminologyClassify proper commodity classification including those with mixed plastic componentsIdentify the applicable codes and standards that address safe storage and handling practices of flammable and combustible liquidsDetermine major changes in NFPA 13 involving commodity classification and options for exposed, expanded plasticsDiscuss flammable and combustible liquids concepts and identify terminologyKnow the qualification requirements for miscellaneous and low-piled storageDescribe proper storage practices for flammable and combustible liquids to prevent fire hazardsDiscuss safe handling practices for flammable and combustible liquids at point of final useDesign requirements for standard rack storageDesign requirements for shelf, non-standard rack, and floor storageUnderstand allowable configurations and protection requirements for idle pallets storage.Find and apply definitions of storage terms and locate and apply storage requirements
STRUCTURAL AND INDUSTRIAL FIRE PROTECTION ENGINEERING AND APPLICATION OF FIRE RISK ASSESSMENT
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This five-day course introduces fire protection engineering fundamentals related to building materials and design, the water supply of fire protection, fire extinguishing system, fire alarms systems, special occupancies and hazards, and storage of flammable and hazardous materials.
Learning Objectives:
Understand the major hazards associated with industrial processes and facilities Understand how to characterize the types of special hazards in various industrial occupancies and how to assist in determining suitable suppression methods Know the principles of fire protection engineering that effect building material and design.Understand the potential fire hazards common to industrial facilities and fire protection engineering techniques used to prevent or mitigate fires in these facilities.Learn how to provide an adequate water supply for fire protection.Describe the various steps associated with a fire risk assessment, as outlined in the SFPE Engineering Guide to Fire Risk Assessment.Learn the difference between available special hazard protection methods Evaluate a project; prepare representative goal statements, objective statements, boundary conditions, and assumptions. Prepare a fire hazard assessment for a designed project. Identify a minimum of eight fire scenarios that need to be included in the fire risk assessment. Identify the data needs and potential sources of the data needed. Evaluate various tools and methods available to assist in preparing a fire risk assessment and determine the appropriate one to be used for a given project.
HUMAN RESPONSE PRINCIPLES, MODELS AND APPLICATIONS FOR FIRE SAFETY ENGINEERING
COURSE PROVIDED BY: SAFETY INNOVATION FOR TRAINING SERVICES
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This four-day course which will address human response in fire and the tools that are available to represent this response within the engineering process and will attract fire safety consultants and people working with fire safety at companies, fire brigades, municipalities and government agencies.
Learning Objectives:
Describe human behavior theories that are relevant for FSE. Demonstrate a clear understanding of the subject matter to assist with their theory development and data collection.Explain which factors need to be included in calculations, and the data that is available to support these factors.Understand pedestrian dynamics, and different egress modeling approaches (network, grid and continuous models) and their limitations. Identify the impact that products may have upon an actual population, why this impact is important, and what tools can be used to demonstrate this impact. Perform egress calculations, i.e., back of the envelope calculations, which are often done in the initial phase of FSE design. Summarize how designers will have a greater insight into the effectiveness of their systems, how they might be enhanced and how the tools available can help compare performance and demonstrate it to third parties. Analyze different emergency exit and building designs in order to identify points of potential improvement. Analyze the design of exits and building layouts in a systematic way.State how fire departments will have a clear picture of evacuee performance for training, education, and emergency response applications. Discuss how safety managers can identify the impact of structural designs and procedural measures upon the occupant population in their attempts to reach safety.
