Industrial Fire Protection Handbook (2nd Ed.)
Auteur : Schroll R. Craig
Fundamentally, fire prevention and control refer to systems and practices that increase a facility's ability to avoid fires, limit the development and spread of fires, and rapidly and effectively control fires. Changing safety codes and regulations along with recent technological advances have rendered the first edition of this popular handbook somewhat out of date and left fire safety professionals without a current, reliable reference devoted to their needs.
Comprehensive, uniquely focused, and completely up to date, the Industrial Fire Protection Handbook, Second Edition provides a practical guide for improving fire prevention and protection within a work environment. The author has made extensive revisions, significantly expanded his discussions in key areas, and added numerous examples and illustrations to provide a better-than-ever overview of all essential areas of fire protection, including loss control programs, fire behavior, life safety, hazard control, and emergency planning.
New in the Second Edition:
Introduction. Nature of The Problem. Fire Behavior. Loss Control Programs. Life Safety. Hazard Control. Installed Fire Protection. Portable Fire Extinguishers. Emergency Planning. Emergency Teams & Fire Brigades. Coping With a Fire. Appendices.
