FIRE PROTECTION IN COLD STORES.

LA PROTECTION CONTRE LES INCENDIES DANS LES ENTREPOTS FRIGORIFIQUES.

Author(s) : JACOB P.

Summary

THE CAUSES OF FIRES ARE OFTEN DUE TO FAULTY ELECTRICAL GEAR, MISHAPS DURING WELDING OPERATIONS AND, IN SOME CASES, DELIBERATE ARSON. IT IS THEREFORE ESSENTIAL TO TAKE EVERY MEASURE AGAINST FIRE RISKS AND ALSO EMPLOY FIREPROOF CONSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS. PERSONNEL MUST BE PROPERLY TRAINED IN MATTERS OF FIRE PREVENTION AND PROMPT ACTION IN DEALING WITH AN OUTBREAK OF FIRE. SAFETY MEASURES CAN BE IMPROVED BY ALARM SYSTEMS AND FIRE RISKS CAN BE REDUCED BY TESTING AND PROPERLY RATING THE INFLAMMABILITY LEVEL OF VARIOUS MATERIALS.
