Fire is destructive and catastrophic in nature and it is a known fact that

fire occurrence is often unpredictable. Fire claims thousands of human

lives each year and injures more worldwide. Fire in petroleum facilities

especially can lead to significant losses including life, financial, property

and subsequently damaging the environment which will lead to

catastrophic consequences. These accidents not only destroy facilities,

but also may hit nearby facilities with certain physical effects (e.g. heat

radiation or blast wave), and sometimes even cause so-called domino

effect (accident escalation), which can subsequently extend the severity

of the accident. One of the measures to reduce fire incidents and save

people’s lives is by providing knowledge and developing good

understanding of the behavior of fire and smoke, the behavior of people

exposed to fire, developing a correct evacuation plan, as well as designing

and maintaining facilities. Designing and selecting appropriate fire

protection systems. This course will provide extensive information on the

above, and will be delivered by the academic and industry experts in fire

safety and protection engineering.

This course is aimed to enhance students’ knowledge on the fundamental

theory of fire explosion and fire hazard analysis. The course also covers

topics on fire risk assessment and protection and prevention strategies.

The installation, inspection, testing and maintenance of fire and

explosion protections will also be discussed.

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to: Assess fire and explosion hazards Understand why process industries needs to

implement fire and explosion prevention and protection systems

Learn how your company would formulate fire and explosion protection systems

Understand the skills required for leaders to handle fire and explosion incidents
