The best way to protect your employees, your property and the environment is to prevent a fire from happening. The most effective way to do this is to eliminate or minimize all fire hazards. If a fire does occur immediate steps should be taken to control it, and prevent it from spreading. Fire prevention and control is achieved by combining engineering, work practice and administrative controls.
Fire water systems provide an adequate water supply for firefighting, vessel and structural cooling in the event of a fire within the plant. Along with the fire water system are several other associated extinguishing systems that must all work simultaneously to deal with industrial fire situations.
This course provides the basic knowledge for the safe operation, maintenance and management of equipment associated firefighting systems. The course emphasizes the extreme importance of theses systems on the safe and efficient operation of the entire plant and compliance requirements.
