There is a good scope of safety engineering. It helps in prevention and management of risk associated with health and safety. Safety engineering practices are required in various fields of life. Each field of research will require specialized procedures and techniques for assurance of safety.
The Engineering department is one of the 6 major operational departments in any 5 star or 5 star deluxe category hotel. It has 3 major functions: 1. Property operations - includes running the utilities like HVAC plant and machinery, water treatment and distribution, boilers and water heating, sewage treatment, external and common area lighting, fountains and water features etc. This is carried out by a dedicated set of personnel working in shifts to cover 24 hours of the day as per a predetermined time schedule. Operations will also include minor trouble shooting and technical support required for guest room snags and banquet setup. 2. Planned Preventive Maintenance (PPM): This is one of the most important functions of Engineering and often cited as the most critical from longtime building asset maintenance point of view. The philosophy is to regularly carry out a set of preventive actions for every machine in the building rather than allow it to run to failure and then tackle expensive breakdown maintenance costs. A PMM schedule is drawn at the beginning of the year and a team of dedicated persons execute it accordingly. In some cases like elevators and kitchen equipments, temporary downtime may be required which is planned in coordination with the affected user departments. 3. Fire and Life safety: Engineering is also responsible to ensure a safe building for its inhabitants. This includes ensuring 100 percent up-time of all the fire pumps serving the sprinkler and hydrants around the building, the Fire Alarm system consisting of smoke detectors, manual call points and alarm bells, egress lights, emergency backup power gensets, inverters, UPS, public address system, CCTV cameras, fire doors, bollards and boom barriers etc. They work hand in hand with security personnel in carrying out evacuation drills and safety checks of the property. Apart from these lately a new area of focus called Environmental and Energy Management has increasingly taken priority. This includes energy conservation, waste management, recycling and using green measures to reduce the carbon footprint of the building. Some measures would be like replacing incandescent lamps with fluorescent lamps or LEDs, economisers in boilers, heat recovery from AC condenser water etc. The Engineering expenses including the energy cost and repairs and maintenance expenses accounts anywhere between 10 to 18 percent of the revenue depending on size and external environmental factors of the building. This lays added emphasis for accurate budgeting and efficient spares and consumable inventory management. Chief Engineers (or Director Engineering in larger hotels) would spend most of their time planning, budgeting or doing complain analysis to figure out medium and long term solutions for the hotel's technical challenges.
Yes it is, but they are slightly different. In order to standardize both fire curves, in 1975 the International Standards Organization issued the ISO 834 "Fire-Resistance Tests -- Elements of Building Construction", to became the worldwide standard fire curve.
Type your answer here... what is another term for combution chamber in a furnace or fire place.
A wheel and axle
Matches
The causes of electricity fire outbreaks in buildings are bad wires or overloading the circuit.
Sparks from welding slag and not having a fire extinguisher nearby.
Build a workshop
Journal of Fire Protection Engineering was created in 1989.
Some of the most common causes for electric fire are faulty and frayed wiring. Most items with wires that throw wear and tear begin to show the copper filaments, which can send sparks.
Lightning, cigarettes, not putting out a fire correctly, and heat may be the causes of common brushfires.
broken machies, leaking oil
The most common cause if usually PETROL and a MATCH!
swag srag and more swag haha in in school
If after studying mechanical engineering you feel you could work on a ship you must go to a college to do all the practical based requirements in a workshop like welding, machining, filing etc and all your safety courses like first aid at sea and fire fighting etc then go to the MCA and take an oral examination to receive your marine engineering officers ticket. If you do not ( as its a completely different world ) then you must go to a Maritime Academy and do a degree in marine engineering.
It is a fire hazard.
