The assessment of industrial fire and associated risks for the purpose of underwriting insurance and mitigating fire risks has a history going back to the middle of the 1800s.

Ongoing research into fire risk, floods windstorm and other require considerations of reliability and resilience have to be taken into account.

Come to Montreal to learn and network during the presentation of this world class course.

Summary

The first day seminar identifies and characterizes the fire hazards in demanding industrial occupancies varies widely and presents quite a challenge for specifying, insuring or approving fire professionals. Participants will gain a perspective and understanding of useful fire protection options from Fire Suppression Systems Association experts.
This intensive seminar will not only help you to understand the application of NFPA Standards but also how to transpose this knowledge, on your own, so that you can compare it to the requirements of others codes from NFC (National Fire Code of Canada) as applicable in Quebec and other areas of Canada to new or existing installations. The seminar material will be of assistance in your future projects as reference material.

The prevention of fire and explosions in dusty occupancies has been studied for over a century and consequently, the mechanisms of fire and explosions are well understood. The key codes and standards set out good practices to prevent and mitigate the impact of fires and explosions in various processes but relatively few professionals are experienced in conducting a complete analysis of the actual conditions in real manufacturing plants. John Bachynski B.Sc. P.Eng. will present an overview of factors leading to dust explosions and summarise state of the art approaches to explosion prevention and systems to mitigate the damage that can otherwise result.
