Fire Protection and Life Safety

The discovery of fire was one of the remarkable milestones in the evolution of mankind. Our ancestors found fire to be a source of heat, food preparation, weapon manufacture and protection from wild animals. In course of time, they also discovered that fire was equally destructive. It could burn down anything in its way indiscriminately. Since that revelation, mankind has continually been looking for new and more efficient ways to keep fire from being destructive. Preventing fires has always been a concern. Be it the simple addition of a water container by the fire pit or the development of scientific detectors that monitor air temperature and structure, the quest to keep fire at bay continues. Despite the advances in technology, the best way to prevent a fire is to put trained people on the task. It is a key component of any security function or operation.

Hazards of Asbestos in the Workplace (GI)

Asbestos is a substance that has been used for centuries. Its heat-resistant properties make it almost indestructible; due to this property, asbestos have been widely used in the construction industry, especially for pipe and boiler insulation. Before 1973, asbestos was sprayed onto different surfaces for fire protection purposes, but this practice was banned due to the hazardous nature of asbestos. Furthermore, it is no longer used for insulating pipes and boilers. However, asbestos can still be found in many older buildings.

Fire Prevention and Safety Procedures

Fires in long-term care facilities can be devastating for residents, staff, and the entire surrounding community. In any setting a fire is an unsettling event, but in facilities housing residents who may or may not be ambulatory, any fire can be a truly horrific experience. Two fires occurring in 2003 focused attention on the need to improve preparation and prevention measures used in long-term care. Since then anti-smoking legislation as well as sprinkler system mandates and increased government oversight has decreased the potential for fatal fires, which might otherwise mean multiple deaths and unnecessary suffering.
