SECURITE ET PREVENTION DU FEU DANS LES ENTREPOTS FRIGORIFIQUES.

Author(s) : SENN H.

Summary

THE FIRE PREVENTION AND THE BUILDING REGULATIONS ARE EXPLAINED. WITH REGARDS TO THE STRUCTURAL CONSTRUCTION THE FEATURES OF A FIRE RESISTANCE PERIOD OF 90 MINUTES, AND WITH REGARD TO THE INSULATION MATERIAL (PANELS) WERE DEMANDED. THE CLASSIFICATIONS AND THE METHODS OF EXAMINATION IN SWITZERLAND ARE DESCRIBED. IN CASE OF AN OUTBREAK OF FIRE, THE LOCAL FIRE-BRIGADE SUPPORTED BY THE STAFF IS EQUIPPED WITH COMPRESSED AIR-BREATHING APPARATUSES. PRIORITY IS GIVEN TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A LOSS OF AMMONIA. AN AUTOMATIC GAS-ALARM WAS INSTALLED. MORE FIRE PREVENTIONS AS THE INSTALLATION OF SMOKE VENTS OR STATIONARY GAS EXTINGUISHERS CAN ONLY BE REDEEMED BY A CORRESPONDING PREMIUM REDUCTION BY THE FIRE INSURANCE COMPANIES.
