Summary

This paper describes building standards relating to the fire code and their application to cold stores, Emphasis is placed on a policy for a large industrial complex with single management capable of ensuring permanent fire safety measures, emergency procedures and intensive staff training. The management can thus co-ordinate all aspects of fire prevention and decide which buildings should incorporate fire safety measures and the extent to which these should be implemented. Emphasis is especially laid on staff safety, specifying minimum egress distances and easy fire fighting access. The use of sprinklers, located selectively, is advised in some parts of the building. The fire code represents a consensus view of design engineers, fire fighters, local government, insurance companies and meat company owners and operators.
