SAFETY FEATURES OF A BUILDING / STRUCTURE Major Components of Fire Protection and Life Safety Means of Egress Fire Detection

n and Alarm Fire Suppression Structural Fire Resistance Illumination of Signs Elevators Control Emergency Power Supply System (EPSS) Smoke Control Interior Finish Others Means of Egress A means of egress is a continuous and unobstructed way of exit travel from any point in a building or structure to a public way. Stairwells Emergency Exit Ladders/stairwells Indoor / Outdoor Panic hardware Fire Detection and Alarm A complete protective signaling and control system including fire detection, alarm and communication primarily intended to provide the indication and warning of abnormal conditions, the summoning of appropriate aid and control of occupancy facilities to enhance protection of life. Heat Detectors Smoke Detectors Stand-Alone Smoke Detectors System Type Fire Alarm

Automatic Manual Strobe Light Fire Suppression Sharply reducing heat release rate of a fire and preventing its regrowth by means of direct and sufficient application of water through the fire plume to the burning fuel surface. Fire Hose Boxes Fire Hose and Nozzle Forcible Entry Tools Standpipe Dry Standpipe Wet Standpipe Fire Extinguishers Sprinkler System Overhead / Cistern Tank Structural Fire Resistance Fire resistance refer to the ability of a structure to act as a barrier to the spread of fire and to confine it to the area of origin. Fire may spread from one area to another by collapse of the barrier, or by openings through which hot gases may pass or by conduction of sufficient heat to ignite combustibles beyond the barrier. Fire Resistant Wall Fire Rated Doors Fire Dampers Compartmentation Illumination of Signs Every sign required should be suitable illuminated by a reliable light source. Externally illuminated signs shall be visible in both the normal and emergency lighting mode. Emergency Lights Portable / Centralized Fire Exit Sign Battery operated / System type Elevators Control

How quickly it can travel from floor to floor, the means and speed of door opening and closing, built-in time factors for passenger transfer, its ability to level swiftly and accurately. Pressurized Elevator (Required to have at least one) Upon sounding of the alarm, all elevators automatically goes down to the ground floor and open its doors. Emergency Power Supply System (EPSS) The function of the EPSS is to provide a source of electrical power of required capacity, reliability, and quality for a given length of time to load within a specified time after loss or failure of the normal supply. Generators Fuel Fed Battery Operated SAn engineered system utilizing barriers, airflows, and pressure differentials so as to confine the smoke of the fire origin and thus maintain a tenable environment in other zones. Smoke Curtain Smoke Damp Smoke Control Interior Finish Interior Finishes are the interior surfaces of a building that are generally secured in place. The requirements pertaining to interior finish are intended to restrict the spread of fire over the continuous surface forming the interior portions of a building. Fire Resistive Finishing

ll. ASSESSMENT CHECK IF IT WAS PRESENT/PROVIDED (x) IF IT IS NOT PROVIDED Do you have any fire safety plan? Is it already incorporated in your camp defense plan? Is it written or not? Is it functional? meaning are there employees specifically tasked to handle the assigned activities during fire emergencies? Are involved employees trained and skilled to handle their respective functions? How are they trained and prepared to accomplish the task? Do they have the equipment/ tools/devices needed during emergencies? How do they maintain the equipment? How often are drills conducted? Have you asked other agencies to assess or conduct safety audit? Do you have a safety committee to look into some of your safety flaws? Have you already identify your critical infrastructure? What did you do about your critical infrastructure protection?
