Goal

Introduce students to: risk analysis, risk management and risk engineering, regulations on fire prevention, preventive fire protection, fire extinguishers, firefighting tactics and equipment to fire fighting and smoke removal for installation.

Outcome

Students will be familiar with risk analysis, risk management and risk engineering, as well as with modern fire-fighting procedures and technical measures of preventive fire protection.

Theoretical teaching

Review of basic concepts of risk аналзсис, risk management and risk engineering Hazards: toxicity, flammability, explosion, noise Sources of ignition - the impact of the temperature, pressure and mixture composition on the ignition Calculations of index of fire, explosion and toxic pollution The regulations on fire protection EquipmentT for extinguishing - Classification and application. Technical and other preventive measures for fire protection and their application General fire hazards, fire-sensitive technology Fire prevention technologies - The classification of objects according to fire risk The basic elements of the design system for the prevention and extinguishing Fire load calculation of buildings

Practical teaching

Application of regulations on fire protection Fire extinguishers Stable fire extinguishing systems: water, foam, etc. Installations for the removal of smoke General fire hazards, fire-sensitive technology - Fire hazards and protection measures in various industries Fire load calculation of buildings
