Industrial Fire Control Concepts is a facility fire protection course in book format. For more than sixty years, between 1946 and 2007, Industrial Risk Insurers offered an intensive week-long industrial fire protection course in their Hartford (CT) Loss Prevention Training Center and at other facilities worldwide. Thousands of facility managers, plant engineers, safety supervisors, insurance loss control engineers, government officials, and many others benefitted from the course. Although this course concentrated on fundamental fire control concepts, participants often felt like they were drinking from a fire hose. They left the course with a thick binder full of handouts, articles, notes, references, and other information they could put to immediate use at their facilities. A common refrain from participants was, "Why isn't all this information available in a book someplace?" In 1988 the first edition of Industrial Fire Control Concepts attempted to fill this need. Recognizing that many individuals responsible for facility fire protection decisions have no formal fire protection training, this third edition continues the mission of providing a foundation in fire safety concepts allowing the development and implementation of effective site-specific fire protection and fire control strategies. In this content-rich, heavily illustrated book, you will learn the: ? scope of the fire problem and the often-ignored lessons of past industrial fire disasters? basic concepts behind the development and spread of a fire? holistic systems approach to facility fire safety and fire control? operation, application, and limitations of various fire protection systems and features? necessity of a properly arranged fire protection water supply system? management programs necessary for an effective facility fire control program? special fire control concerns of information technology (IT) operations, warehousing and storage, flammable and combustible liquids, and combustible dust The text contains many practical fire safety concepts that you can use immediately. Throughout the text, conversations with the "Wise Old Fire Protection Engineer" provide valuable information addressing a myriad of common fire protection and fire risk management questions and concerns.

Fundamentals of Fire Protection for the Safety Professional provides safety managers with a guide for incorporating fire hazard awareness and protection into their safety management plans. Industrial fires pose one of the greatest threats to organizations in terms of financial, human, and property losses. Understanding fire safety basics, the physics of fire, and the properties and classes of common hazards is key to designing fire safety management programs that not only protect an organization’s assets but also ensure the safe evacuation of all involved. Fundamentals of Fire Protection for the Safety Professional takes an in-depth look at fire hazards in the workplace—from the substances required to do business to the building construction itself—and provides practical fire safety principles that can be applied in any work environment. Readers will learn how to develop emergency action plans and fire prevention plans, implement effective alarm and detection systems and fire extinguishment systems, and develop a comprehensive fire program management plan that is in compliance with Federal Emergency Management Agency, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, Environmental Protection Agency, and National Fire Protection Association standards. Each chapter includes a chapter summary and sample problems, making this an ideal training tool in the workplace or the classroom. Answers to chapter questions and a comprehensive glossary and index are provided at the end of the book.
