Mechanical Engineering Fire Protection System

The document discusses several issues that can negatively impact fire safety if not properly addressed: 1) Substandard fire protection systems that are not designed or installed correctly do not adequately protect buildings and assets. 2) Neglected maintenance of fire equipment such as extinguishers and suppression systems can lead to expensive repairs or downtime from fires. 3) Conducting infrequent or irregular fire drills means employees may not take drills seriously or be properly trained on evacuation procedures in the event of an actual fire.

Lack of Future Planning

Getting fire stopping right depends on making it a priority in any new build project. Early

engagement in fire safety is paramount; it sets up fire safety as an essential part of construction and not

an afterthought. If fire safety is on the agenda from the design and concept of a new build project, it has

a better chance of staying on the agenda for the entirety of the new build project.

if the evidence of fire safety compliance is insufficient to confirm that fire safety is

appropriate for that specific building and the intended occupant type. Early engagement in fire

safety is important.

Substandard Materials

Fire protection design and engineering are as specialized as control systems, structural design or

combustion design and require knowledge and expertise. Substandard fire protection systems are a

lose-lose situation. The plant and its assets are not adequately protected and, at best, initial savings will

be offset by higher insurance premiums throughout the life of the plant.

Unreliable Water Supply

Neglected Maintenance
Another issue is the problem of neglected maintenance. The best example to explain

this is in the kitchen. All cooking and food preparation equipment and appliances must be

inspected and maintained at set intervals, even if all they need is a thorough cleaning. With that

said, fire extinguishers, fire suppression systems, and other fire protection measures need to be

cared for in the same way. By ensuring maintenance is done when it needs to be, owners can

avoid expensive repairs and even costlier downtime due to closing down the house whether or

not the dinnertime rush is on.

Unfrequent Regular Fire Driils

One of the most important parts of fire safety training concerns exit procedures in the event of

fire. Make fire drills a regular part of your workplace schedule, and ensure that your employees treat

each one with the respect it deserves. You may also wish to appoint a dedicated fire marshal to oversee

the correct observance of every fire drill, and ensure that any employees who disregard its importance

are re-educated in fire safety to prevent further lapses.
