Frame for Comprehensive Fire Risk Management

Risk is the potential for realization of unwanted, adverse consequences to human life, health, property, or the environment. Estimation of risk is usually based on the expected value of the conditional probability of the event occurring times the consequence of the event, given that it has occurred. The project emphasize on the Fire Risk management in industries using the method FRAME. FRAME or the Fire Risk Assessment Method for Engineers was developed as a tool to help a fire protection engineer to define a sufficient and cost effective fire safety concept for new or existing buildings. The project was carried out in a leading public sector cattle feed manufacturing company. The major accidents reported in the industries are due to Fire. The industry needs a permanent solution for the conditions inside the raw material warehouse that could result in a fire accident. Thus the Fire Risk inside the warehouse is assessed using FRAME. According to FRAME, for the existing Risk value, Preventive measures have to be taken for risk reduction. The solution found out for the problem is the application of Thermal infrared cameras.
