There is need of synergic thinking from the very conceptual stage to avoid contradictions in

the installation.

Fire is one of the major risks in every walk of life. We must protect our self against Fire

hazard by adhering to the instructions/laws while at home or otherwise.



Spending money and worrying for aesthetics could be important and understood but not at the

cost of Fire safety!revention and !rotection.

• The fundamental principle "!rotector must be protected first# should not be

ignored.

• The cost of basic fire protection system is just less than $ % & of the total

infrastructure cost and is worth spending.

Spending money and worrying for aesthetics could be important and understood but not at the

cost of Fire safety!revention and !rotection.

Why do we not introspect'

Deviations: These are departure from the intension which are discovered by systematically

applying the guide words.

Intention: The intention defines how the part is e(pected to operate. This can take a number

of forms and can be either descriptive or diagrammatic. )n many cases it will be a flow sheetor line diagram.

Causes: These are the reasons why deviations might occur. *nce a deviation has been shown

to have a conceivable or realistic cause+ it can be treated as meaningful.

Consequences: These are the results of the deviations.

Hazards: These are conse,uences which can cause damage+ injury or loss.

Guide Words: These are simple words which are used to ,ualify the intention in order to

guide and stimulate the creative thinking process and so discover deviations. - list of guide

words is given in table below

* or *T

The complete negation of

these intentions o part of the intentions is achieved by

nothing else happens0*12

3uantitative increases or decreases

These refer to ,uantities 4 properties such as

flow rates and temperatures as well as

activities like 562-T7 and 512-8T792SS

-S W299-S

- ,ualitative increase-ll the design and operating intentions are

achieved together with some additionalactivity

!-1T *F - ,ualitative decrease*nly some of the intensions are achieved:

some are not12;21S2



The logical opposite of the intention

This is mostly applicable to activities+ for e(ample reverse flow or chemical reaction. )t

can also be applied to substances+ e.g.

5!*)S*7 instead of 5-T)<*T27 or 5<7

instead of 597 optical isomers*T621

T6-8omplete substitution

o part of the original intention is achieved.Something ,uite different happens.

2. Team Composition:

6azard and *perability Studies are normally carried out by multi=disciplinary teams. The

e(amination re,uires the team to have a detailed knowledge of the way the plant is intendedto work. This re,uires both concerned with the design of the plant and those concerned with

its operation.

3. The rocedure !or a stud":The principles described in the previous section are put into practice in a procedure which

consists of the following steps

>. <efine objectives and scope$. Select the team

%. !repare for the study?. 8arry out the e(amination

@. 1ecord the resultsA. Follow up actions

<o we think sincerely to include "Fire safety measures# at conceptual stages of any project

while planning in regards to construction+ production+ B0S/utility+ maintenance+

environment+ health and accidents concerning there own safety as also human safety'

The non=industrial is no longer fire safe. Crban development heavy growth of population and

lack of space has forced to go for multistoried and high rise constructions.

6ospitals+ malls+ multiple(es+ 6otels+ housing Towers and similar comple( building are

becoming potential fire risks+ endangering the !1*!21TD -< 9)F2.

-lmost periodically we hear news on fire incidences causing immense loss of property and

life. We still do not give enough importance to fire protection.



9aws do e(ist. 6owever the supervising and implementing organizations are almost totally

inade,uate in every branch of administrative re,uirements.

The occupiers/constructing people are also not serious about their own habitat+ largely

ignorant+ almost careless and miser to spend on fire safety.

-s a matter of fact we should ask ourselves=

Why should we wait till somebody telling us we are wrong or for any mishap'

<o we not have "9-<D# instinct to foresee to prevent and protect= from fire risks'

<o we are not bothered about business continuity E loss of good will due to partial or total

closure of activity'

What percentage of total project cost we allot to fire safety installations'

The 1eality=

)t is generally seen that fire safety installation is the delayed entry in planning which results

into a somewhat patch work and forced to adjust some how with the prevailing planned

building structure and allied systems including the electrical cabling+ process piping+ air

handling systems+ drainage systems etc.

Such patch up installation generally pose major problem in complying with good engineering

practices as also the techno=legal provisions of NBC/BIS/TAC/NFPA/FM /#9ocal regulations

as the case may be.

-s a matter of fact the fire protection system which is a protector which is not duly respected

and safeguarded.

6ow can an unprotected and a lame system work effectively in 2mergency situation' - weak

team+ system or structure whether it is army+ fire/security and vigilance can not prevent or

protect as e(pected.
