THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT FIRE PREVENTION AND FIGHTING STANDARDS IN CONSTRUCTION
Fire protection (PCCC) is one of the important factors in construction, especially for residential buildings, high-rise buildings, commercial centers, factories, and other public works. Compliance with fire protection standards not only helps protect property but also ensures the safety of people and workers in construction works. Below are things to know about fire protection standards in construction.
1. What are fire safety standards?
Fire safety standards in construction are regulations and guidelines issued to minimize the risk of fire and ensure effective fire fighting when an incident occurs. These standards include requirements for design, materials, warning systems, automatic fire extinguishing systems and rescue methods.
These standards are often regulated by competent authorities such as the Ministry of Construction, the Ministry of Public Security, and international organizations such as NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) or ISO (International Organization for Standardization).
2. Requirements for construction design to ensure fire safety
a. Building structure
- Fire resistance: Buildings must be designed with fire-resistant construction materials, such as concrete, galvanized steel, and fire-resistant bricks. The main structural components of the building (walls, ceilings, floors) must ensure fire resistance long enough to limit the spread of fire.
- Load-bearing structure: It is necessary to carefully calculate the factors on the load-bearing capacity of the structure when a fire occurs. This helps the building not to collapse during fire fighting or rescue.
b. Fire exits
- Clear fire exits: There must be at least two fire exits for each area, especially high-rise buildings. Exits must be designed to be wide enough and easy to access in case of emergency.
- Escape stairs: Fire exit stairs must ensure safety in case of fire, be unobstructed, and have an effective emergency lighting system.
- Signs: There should be a clear and visible sign system to help people quickly identify the exits in emergency situations.
3. Automatic fire alarm system
a. Fire alarm system
A fire alarm system is an early warning device when a fire occurs. These devices include:
- Heat and smoke sensors: Installed in areas with high risk of fire such as kitchens, electrical rooms, warehouses, elevators. The sensor will detect changes in temperature or smoke and send an alarm signal to the control center.
- Alarm bell: After receiving a signal from the sensor, the alarm bell will emit a loud sound to warn everyone in the building.
- Connection system: The fire alarm system needs to be connected to the control center or directly to the fire department for timely handling.
b. Automatic control system
- Sprinkler system: This is an automatic fire extinguishing system, using water nozzles to extinguish the fire when the temperature reaches a dangerous level. This system can be installed in areas such as corridors, storage rooms, or warehouses.
- Gas Fire Extinguishing System: Used in areas where water cannot be used (e.g. computer rooms, electrical rooms), this system uses a gas such as CO₂ to extinguish fires without damaging equipment.
4. Construction materials must ensure fire safety.
The selection of construction materials plays a very important role in ensuring fire safety for the project:
- Refractory materials: Use materials such as concrete, refractory plaster, heat-resistant bricks and galvanized steel to build the structure of the project, helping to prevent the spread of fire.
- Finishing materials: Finishing materials such as paint, wallpaper, fabric, carpet must have fireproof certification and limit the ability to spread fire.
- Soundproof and heat-insulating materials: Attention should be paid to the selection of safe soundproof and heat-insulating materials that are not dangerous when exposed to high temperatures.
5. Fire water supply system
Fire water supply system must be designed and maintained adequately to serve when fire occurs:
- Fire water tank: Each building must have a water tank large enough to supply water to sprinkler systems, fire hydrants and fire fighting when necessary.
- Fire water pipe system: A water pipe system with sufficient pressure must be installed to maintain the flow of fire water to areas at risk of fire.
6. Fire prevention training and propaganda
a. Staff training
- Fire safety training for staff: All workers and employees in the building or construction site need to be trained in fire prevention and fighting, how to use fire fighting equipment and how to escape when a fire or explosion occurs.
- Organize fire prevention and fighting drills: Regular fire prevention and fighting drills will help employees and residents in the building respond quickly and effectively in emergency situations.
b. Propagating fire prevention and fighting awareness
- Propaganda for residents: High-rise buildings need to organize fire prevention and fighting propaganda sessions so that everyone can master knowledge, escape skills and how to prevent fire and explosion.
7. Conclusion
Complying with fire prevention and fighting standards in construction not only helps protect the property and lives of residents and workers but also helps improve the quality of construction. The application of fire safety regulations such as building design, fire alarm systems, selection of appropriate materials and safety training are key factors in creating a safe living and working environment. Always put safety first in every stage of the construction process, from design to construction and use of the building.
