Fire Prevention

Fire interference needs segregating the 3 parts of the hearth triangle. In observe, a way to attain that goal is to post—and enforce—no smoking signs around combustible liquids and gases and have fireplace watches on all work involving torch-applied materials of a minimum of 2 hours when the last torch is turned off.

Flammable and flammable Liquids Proper storage and handling of combustible and flammable liquids can facilitate prevent fires from occurring; solely approved, closed containers for storage of flammable or flammable liquids could also be used beneath Occupational Safety and Health Administration rules. Such containers embrace safety cans or containers approved by the U.S. Department of Transportation. a security will could be an instrumentation that encompasses a self-closing lid, internal-pressure relief and flame arrestor with a capability of not more than five gallons. cheap, plastic cans while not those options previously mentioned, like those usually bought at hardware stores or gas stations, aren't approved to be used in roofing operations. However, manufacturers do sell plastic containers that meet the Occupational Safety and Health Administration needs for safety cans.

Flammable liquids that are extraordinarily viscous, or tough to pour, like single ply adhesive, will be left in their original shipping containers. Similarly, OSHA permits the employment of original containers of combustible liquids that are in quantities of 1 gallon or less. Static electricity could also be generated once transferring liquids, gases or solids through pipes or hoses. it's necessary to dissipate this electrical phenomenon once handling combustible and flammable materials. once transferring combustible or flammable liquids from one instrumentation to a different, the 2 containers must be “bonded” along. The bonding method involves attaching a wire with alligator clips on every finish to each container. The clips should penetrate the instrumentation coating and bit metal. you will have to be compelled to score the paint with the alligator clips. To dissipate static, the instrumentation receiving the liquid should be in-tuned with the bottom and not insulated from contact with the bottom.

For example, plastic or composite motor truck bed liners forestall the flow of static electricity to ground as a result of the liner doesn't conduct electricity. The receptacle instrumentation should have a transparent path to ground, by direct contact or use of a grounding strap or wire, to effectively eliminate static.

Service or refueling areas at job sites should have a 20 BC-rated fireplace extinguisher at intervals seventy-five feet of every pump. Safety cupboards yield bigger quantities of combustible and flammable liquids to be hold on safely within buildings. Up to sixty gallons of a combustible liquid or the maximum amount as a hundred and twenty gallons of a flammable liquid could also be hold on

indoors during a safety cupboard. every cupboard should be labelled “Flammable— Keep fireplace Away.” Up to 3 cupboards could also be hold on in one area. Without a safety cupboard, solely twenty-five gallons of either combustible or flammable liquids are allowed to be hold on within a building.

Liquefied crude oil Gas Liquefied crude oil gas (LP gas) is employed wide within the roofing trade to heat kettles and torches. as a result of phonograph recording gas could be a propellant, fairly giant quantities will be hold on in comparatively little containers. As some extent of reference, phonograph recording gas expands at a quantitative relation of 270-to-1. this implies that one liquid drop of phonograph recording gas would expand to a gas state 270 times bigger in volume.

LP gas collects in low-lying areas as a result of its vapour density is heavier than air. workers ought to be warned that if they believe a leak during a cylinder, they must not use fireplace to aim to seek out the outlet. Instead, they're to use soapy water and appearance for bubbles.

Classes of Fire

CLASSES OF FIRE  -  "A", " B", "C", "D" and "K"

Fires are classified by the types of fuel they burn.

CLASS A

Class A Fires consist of ordinary combustibles such as wood, paper, trash or anything else that leaves an ash. Water works best to extinguish a Class A fire.

CLASS B

Class B Fires are fueled by flammable or combustible liquids, which include oil, gasoline, and other similar materials. Smothering effects which deplete the oxygen supply work best to extinguish Class B fires.

CLASS C

Class C Fires. Energized Electrical Fires are known as Class C fires. Always de-energize the circuit then use a non-conductive extinguishing agent. Such as Carbon dioxide.

CLASS D

Class D Fires are combustible metal fires. Magnesium and Titanium are the most common types of metal fires. Once a metal ignites do not use water in an attempt to extinguish it. Only use a Dry Powder extinguishing agent. Dry powder agents work by smothering and heat absorption.

CLASS K

Class K Fires are fires that involve cooking oils, grease or animal fat and can be extinguished using Purple K, the typical agent found in kitchen or galley extinguishers.

SOUND LIKE A LOT?

An easy way to remember these types of Fires is (beat) Class A leaves an Ash, (beat) Class B boils,(beat) Class C has current (beat), and Class D has Dense Material (beat), And don’t forget the most overlooked, Class K for Kitchen.

About the GLOBAL POSITIONG SYSTEM

About the  GLOBAL  POSITIONG  SYSTEM

Global Positioning System (GPS) is a worldwide radio-navigation system formed from the constellation of 24 satellites and their ground stations. The Global Positioning System is mainly funded and controlled by the U.S Department of Defense (DOD). The system was initially designed for the operation of U. S. military. But today, there are also many civil users of GPS across the whole world. The civil users are allowed to use the Standard Positioning Service without any kind of charge or restrictions.

Global Positioning System tracking is a method of working out exactly where something is. A GPS tracking system, for example, may be placed in a vehicle, on a cell phone, or on special GPS devices, which can either be a fixed or portable unit. GPS works by providing information on exact location. It can also track the movement of a vehicle or person. So, for example, a GPS tracking system can be used by a company to monitor the route and progress of a delivery truck, and by parents to check on the location of their child, or even to monitor high-valued assets in transit.

A GPS tracking system uses the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) network. This network incorporates a range of satellites that use microwave signals that are transmitted to GPS devices to give information on location, vehicle speed, time and direction. So, a GPS tracking system can potentially give both real-time and historic navigation data on any kind of journey.

GPS provides special satellite signals, which are processed by a receiver. These GPS receivers not only track the exact location but can also compute velocity and time. The positions can even be computed in three-dimensional views with the help of four GPS satellite signals. The Space Segment of the Global Positioning System consists of 27 Earth-orbiting GPS satellites. There are 24 operational and 3 extra (in case one fails) satellites that move round the Earth each 12 hours and send radio signals from space that are received by the GPS receiver.

The control of the Positioning System consists of different tracking stations that are located across the globe. These monitoring stations help in tracking signals from the GPS satellites that are continuously orbiting the earth. Space vehicles transmit microwave carrier signals. The users of Global Positioning Systems have GPS receivers that convert these satellite signals so that one can estimate the actual position, velocity and time.

The operation of the system is based on a simple mathematical principle called trilateration. Trilateration falls into two categories: 2-D Trilateration and 3-D Trilateration. In order to make the simple mathematical calculation the GPS receiver must know two things. First it must know the location of the place is to be traced by at least three satellites above the place. Second, it must know the distance between the place and each of those Space Vehicles. Units that have multiple receivers that pick up signals from several GPS satellites at a same time. These radio waves are electromagnetic energy that travels at the speed of light.

A GPS tracking system can work in various ways. From a commercial perspective, GPS devices are generally used to record the position of vehicles as they make their journeys. Some systems will store the data within the GPS tracking system itself (known as passive tracking) and some send the information to a centralized database or system via a modem within the GPS system unit on a regular basis (known as active tracking) or 2-Way GPS.

A passive GPS tracking system will monitor location and will store its data on journeys based on certain types of events. So, for example, this kind of GPS system may log data such as where the device has traveled in the past 12 hours. The data stored on this kind of GPS tracking system is usually stored in internal memory or on a memory card, which can then be downloaded to a computer at a later date for analysis. In some cases the data can be sent automatically for wireless download at predetermined points/times or can be requested at specific points during the journey.

An active GPS tracking system is also known as a real-time system as this method automatically sends the information on the GPS system to a central tracking portal or system in real-time as it happens. This kind of system is usually a better option for commercial purposes such as fleet tracking or monitoring of people, such as children or elderly, as it allows a caregiver to know exactly where loved ones are, whether they are on time and whether they are where they are supposed to be during a journey. This is also a useful way of monitoring the behavior of employees as they carry out their work and of streamlining internal processes and procedures for delivery fleets.

FIRE SAFETY TIPS

FIRE SAFETY TIPS

Check Your Smoke Alarms

• Working smoke alarms reduce the chances of dying in a fire by nearly 50 percent. They are a critical first step for staying safe, but in order to be effective, they have to be working properly.
• For the best protection, install smoke alarms on every level of your home, outside every sleeping area and in each bedroom.
• Use Daylight Savings Time as a reminder to check your smoke alarms. Replace conventional batteries at least once a year, even if alarms are wired directly into your home’s electrical system.
• Consider installing a smoke alarm that has a 10-year battery.
• Smoke alarms expire after 10 years. So if your alarm is more than 10 years old, you should install a new one.

Create and Practice a Fire Escape Plan

• Create and practice a home fire escape plan with two ways out of every room.
• As part of your plan, designate one person to get infants and small children out safely. Have a back-up plan for young children just in case the primary person is overcome by smoke.
• Smoke is toxic. Teach children to “get low and go” if there is smoke when they are leaving the home.
• Practice feeling the door, doorknob and cracks around the door with the back of your hand to see if they are too hot. Help your children practice this step.
• Choose a place to meet outside that is a safe distance away from your home.

In an Emergency, Leave Home Immediately

• In the event of a fire, leave your home immediately. Once you’re out of the house, stay out.
• Wait to call 911 until after you are out of the home.

If You Live in an Apartment, Pull the Alarm

• If there is a fire and you don’t hear the building’s fire alarm, pull the nearest fire alarm “pull station” on your way out. 
• Know all of your building’s fire escape exits and use the stairs to get out. Don’t use the elevator.

If You’re Stuck Inside, Cover the Areas Where Smoke Might Come In

• If you cannot safely escape your home or apartment, keep smoke out of the room by covering vents and cracks around the door, and call 911 or your fire department as quickly as possible.
• Then signal for help at the window with a light-colored cloth or a flashlight.

Keep Flammable Materials in Safe Areas

• Remember to keep space heaters at least three feet away from anything that can burn, and always closely supervise children and pets when the heater is turned on.
• Make sure you turn space heaters off when you leave the room.
• If using gasoline-powered devices, store gasoline in a locked location where children cannot access it. Keep only small quantities in an approved container that has child safety features.

Don’t Over Plug

• To prevent possible fires, avoid plugging several appliance cords into the same electrical socket.

Stay Focused Around the Kitchen

• Use common sense in the kitchen. Limit distractions when cooking and don’t leave a hot oven or stovetop unattended.
• Keep anything that can catch fire, such as dish towels or wooden spoons, away from your stovetop.
• Have a fire extinguisher in the kitchen in case of emergency, and make sure you know how it works. You might be surprised that most people don’t know how to use one.

Install Barriers Such as Safety Gates Around Fireplaces, Ovens and Furnaces

• Make sure your fireplace is protected by a sturdy screen. Remember that glass screens can take a long time to cool down.
• If you are using a fireplace or wood stove, make sure you burn only seasoned hardwood such as oak, ash or maple.
• If small children live in or visit your home, use a safety gate around your fireplace or wood stove.

Blow Out Candles and Store Matches Out of Reach

• Keep candles at least 12 inches away from anything that can burn, and always blow them out when you leave the room or before you go to sleep.
• Make a habit of placing matches, gasoline and lighters in a safe place, out of children’s reach. Avoid novelty lighters or lighters that look like toys.
• Teach kids never to play with matches and lighters. Make a habit of placing these items up and away from young children.

Green Building Concept

Green Building Concept

Green building refers to both a structure and the using of processes that are environmentally responsible and resource-efficient throughout a building's life-cycle: from siting to design, construction, operation, maintenance, renovation, and demolition. In other words, green building design involves finding the balance between home building and the sustainable environment. This requires close cooperation of the design team, the architects, the engineers, and the client at all project stages. The Green Building practice expands and complements the classical building design concerns of economy, utility, durability, and comfort.


Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) is a set of rating systems for the design, construction, operation, and maintenance of green buildings which was Developed by the U.S. Green Building Council. Other certificates system that confirms the sustainability of buildings is the British BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) for buildings and large scale developments. Currently, World Green Building Council is conducting research on the effects of green buildings on the health and productivity of their users and is working with World Bank to promote Green Buildings in Emerging Markets through EDGE Market Transformation Program and certification.

Although new technologies are constantly being developed to complement current practices in creating greener structures, the common objective of green buildings is to reduce the overall impact of the built environment on human health and the natural environment by:

Efficiently using energy, water, and other resources
Protecting occupant health and improving employee productivity
Reducing waste, pollution and environmental degradation
A similar concept is natural building, which is usually on a smaller scale and tends to focus on the use of natural materials that are available locally. Other related topics include sustainable design and green architecture. Sustainability may be defined as meeting the needs of present generations without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. Although some green building programs don't address the issue of the retrofitting existing homes, others do, especially through public schemes for energy efficient refurbishment. Green construction principles can easily be applied to retrofit work as well as new construction.

A 2009 report by the U.S. General Services Administration found 12 sustainable designed buildings that cost less to operate and have excellent energy performance. In addition, occupants were overall more satisfied with the building than those in typical commercial buildings.These are eco-friendly buildings.

Smart Classroom

Smart Classroom (Technology Enhanced Classrooms) designate those classrooms that have been augmented with a variety of technological tools that can enhance the learning environment. Most commonly, these classrooms will offer as enhancements: an Extron Touch-Panel Control System (attached to the instructor's desk); a PC; a Data Projector; a Samsung Document Camera; a DVD/VHS combo unit; and an incorporated audio system. Many rooms that include the aforementioned tools also come equipped with an interactive whiteboard or tablet powered by SMART technologies. Additionally, these rooms are outfitted with the necessary equipment that will allow for a laptop to be connected to the in-room system (to use Apple products, you will need to provide your own VGA interface adapter).
