This module focuses on assisting University staff: Achieve compliance with current Queensland Fire Safety legislative requirements, and Provides information on the fire safety procedures that have been developed for UQ buildings. 2

3 Course Overview continued... The information provided in this module is generic and is not intended to cover all aspects of fire safety. Links have been included to address specific requirements of the legislation and University procedure. Those with a management responsibility and obligations for the health and safety of staff, students and visitors have a responsibility for ensuring all staff are aware of emergency procedures to minimise the risk and potential damage caused by fire. These procedures must be clearly communicated to all who work in the workplace. 3

4 1. Introduction to Fire Safety and Management Training 1.1 Legislative Requirements - BUILDING FIRE SAFETY REGULATIONS 2008 Fire Safety Induction Shall: Be arranged within one month of employment and annually thereafter. Include evacuation procedures. Include a means of escape. Include the location and method of operation of fire fighting equipment. Include the location and method of operation of fire alarms or equipment for warning of fire. Include procedure for directing the public to an exit in the event of a fire. 4

5 1. Introduction to Fire Safety and Management Training 1.2 Duty of Care All occupants should make themselves familiar with: The emergency evacuation procedures for their building, The location of fire exits, and The operation of fire fighting and emergency Equipment. 5

6 1. Introduction to Fire Safety and Management Training 1.2 Duty of Care In the case of Fire or Emergency: Sound the fire alarm system. (if there is a break glass alarm) Notify the appropriate emergency service contact number for your site (refer to YOUR emergency procedures card for local emergency contact number) Details of location, type and scale of the emergency, and The name and location of the caller. Alert other people in the vicinity and notify the Emergency Warden. If it is safe to do so, use the appropriate fire extinguisher to put out the fire. (do not attempt to fight a fire if the fire is large or if you are not familiar with the use of the fire extinguisher) 6

7 1. Introduction to Fire Safety and Management Training 1.2 Duty of Care If you hear the alert mode of the fire alarm or when instructed to evacuate by the Emergency or area warden: Walk quietly but quickly to the nearest exit and proceed to the assembly. point outside the building to await further instructions. Listen and follow instructions from the area wardens. In order to prevent injury and possible panic during an evacuation: Do not run, push, or overtake. Use stairs DO NOT use lifts. Do not return to your desk, office or room until advised. Do not return to your building until the all clear is given by the building warden or fire service. 7

8 1. Introduction to Fire Safety and Management Training 1.2 Duty of Care Outside of normal working hours: On hearing the fire alarm, occupants should evacuate the building even if the evacuate mode does not sound and await further instruction at the evacuation meeting point. 8

9 1. Introduction to Fire Safety and Management Training 1.3 Emergency Wardens Building and Floor Wardens Within all UQ buildings there is an Emergency Control Organisation team (ECO). These volunteers are called wardens and are there to provide direction to building occupants and visitors during any emergency when evacuating your building. Identification of Wardens The Wardens are identified by coloured caps, safety helmets, or vests. 9

10 1. Introduction to Fire Safety and Management Training 1.3 Emergency Wardens Role Helmet Colour Chief Emergency Warden Deputy Emergency Warden Other Emergency Warden (e.g. Floor) 10

11 1. Introduction to Fire Safety and Management Training 1.4 Types of Emergencies Fire or Explosion Bomb Threats Gas Leak / Chemical Emergencies Ventilation System Contamination Natural Disaster (Earthquake, Storm Damage, Flood Damage) Fire in Adjacent Building Civil Disorder Order by Emergency Services 11

12 1. Introduction to Fire Safety and Management Training 1.5 Chemistry of Fire Causes of Fire Smoking Open Flames Sparks Electricity Heating/Cooking Appliances Friction Heat Static Electrical Discharges Chemical Reactions 12

13 1. Introduction to Fire Safety and Management Training 1.6 Methods of Extinguishing Remove all oxygen Remove the fuel Remove the heat Chemically interfere with the reaction 13

14 1. Introduction to Fire Safety and Management Training 1.7 Smoke Danger In nearly all fires there is a large volume of smoke generated in and around the affected area. This smoke will contain poisonous and toxic gases. This toxicity comes from the burning furniture, floor coverings, office equipment and other unknown materials in the affected area. 14

15 1. Introduction to Fire Safety and Management Training 1.7 Smoke Danger Some materials such as Polystyrene (the panelling on most UQ freezers) give off cyanide gas and hydrochloric acid by-products when burnt. Smoke is responsible for more deaths and incapacitating injuries in fire situations than burns. In any situation where there is smoke in the building, EVACUATE the building immediately. 15

16 2. First Response Fire Fighting Equipment 2.1 Fire Fighting Equipment Identification 16

17 2. First Response Fire Fighting Equipment 2.2 Fire Fighting Operation P PULL the safety pin from the handle A AIM the extinguisher nozzle or hose at the base of the fire, not at the flames S SQUEEZE the handle slowly to discharge the agent S SWEEP side to side, from a safe distance away, then move forward until the fire is expended. 17

26 3. Building Fire Safety Systems 3.1 Safety features within buildings FIRE FIGHTING / PREVENTION SYSTEMS INSTALLED IN BUILDINGS : Fire Doors Smoke Doors Suppression Systems Sprinkler Systems Fire Hose Reels Fire Extinguishers Manual Call Points Fire Indicator Panel Smoke & Thermal detectors Emergency Warning & Intercom System Emergency Lighting & Exit Signs External Hydrants Internal Hydrants Lifts with Fire & Emergency Controls 26

27 3. Building Fire Safety Systems 3.1 Safety features within buildings 27

28 3. Building Fire Safety Systems 3.1 Additional Safety features within buildings Occupancy limits Lecture theatres and function areas have occupant number restrictions. Additional fire engineering design Several buildings have additional features where a risk assessment has been performed to meet the fire safety requirements. Fire trace systems in fume cupboards Individual fume cupboard suppression systems. Supplementary water supply for fire-fighting purposes Separated boosted supply for hydrants and sprinklers. Architectural design and construction material fire index Fire retardant and resisted design criteria. 28

29 3. Building Fire Safety Systems 3.2 Active Safety Systems Fire Suppression Fire can be controlled or extinguished, either manually (fire-fighting) or automatically. Manual includes the use of fire extinguishers. Automatic systems include gaseous and foam suppression systems. Significant Solvent storage areas at UQ have these systems maintained. Foam suppression systems are also found in large commercial kitchens. 29

30 3. Building Fire Safety Systems 3.2 Active Safety Systems Sprinkler systems Sprinkler systems are installed in some buildings and are located at ceiling level and connected to pressurised water supply. A typical sprinkler system operates when the heat at the site of a fire causes a glass component in the sprinkler heads to fail, thereby releasing the water from the sprinkler head. This means that only the sprinkler head at the fire location operate-not all the sprinklers on a floor or in a building. Sprinkler systems help to reduce the growth of a fire, thereby increasing life safety and limiting structural damage. 30

31 3. Building Fire Safety Systems 3.2 Active Safety Systems Fire detection The University maintains various fire detection systems including: Smoke detection Heat and thermal detection Flame detection Aspirating smoke detection 31

32 3. Building Fire Safety Systems 3.2 Active Safety Systems Smoke detection Photo Optic and Ionisation detectors detect smoke, an indicator of fire (photos right). Smoke particles (products of combustion) provide early warning. Smoke detectors can also be activated by: Aerosol sprays Cooking fumes Construction works Heaters Steam Smoke detectors are usually isolated for construction works and other false alarm generating activities. 32

33 3. Building Fire Safety Systems 3.2 Active Safety Systems Thermal detection Heat detectors monitor steep rises in temperature. Fixed temperature heat detectors. At temperatures from 47 ⁰C to required high temperatures. Detect slowly developing fires. Rate-of-rise heat detectors Operates on a rapid rise in element temperature. Can operate in cold rooms and harsh environments. 33

34 3. Building Fire Safety Systems 3.2 Active Safety Systems Aspirating smoke detection An aspirating smoke detector consists of a central detection unit which draws air through a network of pipes to detect smoke. Smoke particles can be detected before it is even visible to the human eye. Air samples are captured and filtered, removing any contaminants or dust to avoid false alarms and then processed to the detection unit. Smoke sensitivity can be as low as.003% obscuration. Aspirating systems (such as V.E.S.D.A. Systems ) protect high-value assets particularly data rooms. 34

35 3. Building Fire Safety Systems 3.2 Active Safety Systems Manual Call Points Manual call points are located in various locations throughout buildings. In the event of a fire or emergency situation these can be operated by pressing hard in the middle of the clear window and breaking the cover. This will initiate the alarm system and alert the ECO and also Security. NOTE: White manual call points do not call the fire brigade. White manual call points operate internal building and security interfaces only. 35

36 3. Building Fire Safety Systems 3.3 Passive Safety Systems Fire Doors A fire door is a door with a fire resistance rating used as part of a passive fire protection system to reduce the spread of fire or smoke between compartments and to enable safe egress from a building. The fire rated door in combination with a fire rated frame, door hardware, and seals protect occupants in fire rated stairs for up to 2 hours. These fire rated compartments enable safe egress out of a building. Fire rated doors are stringently legislated and maintained. 36

37 4. Evacuation Procedures 4.1 Evacuation Responsibilities and Procedures Ensure you follow these procedures in the event of a fire or evacuation Be familiar with your work areas and the locations of the Emergency Exits. Know the location of all fire equipment and manual call points. Know the evacuation procedures and Emergency Assembly Areas. Respond to all evacuation alarms as planned even if you think it is a false alarm or the annual fire drill. Staff in charge of a class are responsible for the safe evacuation of that class. Follow the directions of Chief and Emergency Wardens. Report all fires and other serious incidents as per Emergency Procedures Card. If you are not sure of any of the above procedures, contact your Chief Emergency Warden in your building or the UQ Security Office on

38 4. Evacuation Procedures 4.2 Evacuation Assembly Areas and Paths of Egress 38

39 4. Evacuation Procedures 4.2 Evacuation Assembly Areas and Paths of Egress Emergency evacuation plans are displayed throughout buildings in prominent areas, normally at exits, lift lobbies and foyers These diagrams show: Fire exits and escape routes Manual call points Fire extinguishers and other emergency equipment Emergency shutdown Emergency spill equipment Emergency showers and eye washes Evacuation assembly areas Safety equipment Evacuation procedures 39

40 4. Evacuation Procedures 4.3 Emergency Response Exercises (Fire Drills) Fire evacuation exercises are carried out annually within individual buildings on university campuses. The purpose of these exercises is to educate building occupants in the correct manner of evacuating the building in the event of an emergency situation and to meet University legal obligations. Evacuation exercises are conducted by the Emergency Wardens under the guidance of the Fire Safety Officer. Buildings that have been assessed as high fire safety risk, may be required to undertake additional fire evacuation exercises and chemical emergency response drills (HAZMAT requirements). Participation is mandatory. 40

41 5. Fire Prevention 5.1 Housekeeping Emergency Exit routes and stairways, MUST BE KEPT CLEAR of loose or moveable items including, wheelie bins, chairs, and tables etc. No items are to be stored in the fire stairs. Never store ANY item other than fire equipment in the fire hose cupboards and within ONE metre of any fire equipment item. Avoid build up of combustible waste such as paper, cardboard polystyrene and wooden crates etc in the office areas and exit routes. 41

42 5. Fire Prevention 5.1 Housekeeping Keep the use and storage of flammables and combustibles substances to a minimum and only as required. Store in appropriate cupboards. Clean up all spills such as solvents, grease, oil, or water immediately. A delay could result in accidents. Fire Rated Doors and Exit Doors are not to be chocked open at any time. These Fire & Exit doors may only to be permanently held open by an electronic magnetic release and close automatically when the Fire alarm is activated. 42

43 5. Fire Prevention 5.2 Dangerous Goods and / or Hazardous Substances Some UQ buildings may contain Dangerous Goods and Hazardous Substances. The Chemical Manifest can be obtained upon request and will need to be authorised for release. UQ has an on-line Risk Management Database which allows for hazard identification and risk assessment of all hazards including chemicals. Every UQ building that houses chemicals has HAZCHEM signage. 43

44 5. Fire Prevention 5.2 Dangerous Goods and / or Hazardous Substances OH&S audits and Fire Safety audits are conducted in all UQ laboratories annually. All laboratory staff at UQ are trained in how to deal with hazardous material emergencies that may occur in their lab. There are after-hour emergency call-out lists held at the UQ Security Office, and displayed at the front entrances (on doors), of all UQ Laboratories. The University of Queensland has a Crisis Management Plan in place for serious emergency situations. All PC2, PC3, Laser Labs, Animal Breeding Houses and Workshops at UQ are restricted areas and staff or visitors to the area must be escorted by a trained staff member. 44

45 5. Fire Prevention 5.3 Electrical Emergency Lighting Emergency lighting and Illuminated exit signs are installed throughout the building. The emergency lighting appears as small round halogen lights mounted in the centre of the room ceiling areas. They show a red light on the side to indicate that they are operating correctly. These fittings only come on when power is lost to the building. 45

46 5. Fire Prevention 5.3 Electrical Illuminated Exit Signs These can be white with green lettering or Green with white lettering or a white running man symbol on a green background. The older fittings do not need to be illuminated all of the time but will come on when power is lost to the building. The newer fittings must be illuminated at all time. All of these signs indicate the way to the fire isolated stairs and the safe way out of the building. 46
