Fire Protection Strategy: Fatma Lestari, PHD

This document outlines a fire protection strategy, which takes a systematic approach to identifying, reducing, and managing fire hazards. The objectives of the strategy are to protect personnel, identify and assess credible fire hazards, minimize hazards where possible, optimize capital investment and expenses to minimize hazards, meet corporate goals over the facility's lifetime, and control potential adverse effects. The strategy involves integrating fire protection into the facility's overall risk management system and considers key factors such as prescriptive versus performance-based fire protection design and hazard management approaches.

Fire Protection Strategy


a systematic approach to identifying, reducing, and managing fire hazards

Objectives
Protection of personnel is considered in the design of fire protection systems. Credible hazards have been identified, assessed, understood, and documented. Every opportunity to minimize the hazards has been identified, considered, and, where practical, implemented. The capital investment and estimated operating expense is optimized with a view to minimizing hazards. Corporate goals can be met for the facilitys lifetime. Potential adverse effects on neighbors, community, and the environment are controlled. 4

Integration of Fire Protection into a Risk Management System

Key Factors of a Fire Protection Strategy

Prescriptive Fire Protection


Prescriptive fire protection is standardized guidance or requirements without recognition of site-specific factors. Compliance with regulations, insurance requirements, industry practices, or company procedures.

Performance-based design
Performance-based design adopts an objective-based approach to provide a desired level of fire protection. A more specific prediction of potential fire hazards for a given system or process. Based on performance measured against established goals Based on Fire Hazard Analysis (FHA) or fire risk assessment
