  1. Use self illuminating EXIT SIGN in high hazard areas to reduce electricity in room. a.Need more exit signs, mount signs, protruding off wall and double sided. Not flat onthe wall.

  2. 2. Use combination of water reserve underground (50,000) per BNBC and roof top reserve to provide proper amount of water for sprinkler system. Maybe pump water from top water storage or build water tower. • a. *** Need sprinklers***: per BNBC Chapter 5 section 5.8 Occupancy F (Factory): Industrial. * Moderate Hazard Industries subsection 5.8.3 Chapter 4 section 4.2.4 • b. The fire pump shall be so designed that it shall satisfy the required pressures and flow for firefighting equipment at the highest and most remote part of the protected premises during their peak demand hour for pressure tank or for roof tank. The Fire Pump shall be housed in a readily accessible position in a building of non combustible construction. The pump shall be adequately protected against mechanical damage. See section 4.2.6 Fire Pump in Bangladesh National Building Code (BNBC) • c. Blueprints for sprinklers need copy onsite– be sure water pressure enough for system installed – need large fire pump

  3. 3. Plans for interconnected fire alarm throughout.

  4. 4. Need stand pipesper BNBC chapter 4 section 4.2.3

  5. 5. Need to separate all high hazard areas from other parts of building by minimum 2 hour fire protection. Doors to these areas shall be 2 hour fire rated and self closing.                                 1. Boiler room (ventilate properly)                                 2. Chemical room (ventilate properly)                                 3. Generator room (ventilate properly )                                 4. Elevator machine room (ventilate properly)                                 5. Bulk fuel storage (ventilate properly)                                 6. Fabric storage area                                 7. Finishing/packaging area  •                                 8. Fire Control Room: enclosed with 2 hour fire rating. Fire command rooms should contain controls for: • a. Emergency Generator • b. Smoke evacuation Controls if used • c. Fire Alarm Controls • d. Lift Overide and communication to lift

  6. 6. a. Make stairwell 2 hour fire rated enclosure. • b. Protect all openings into stairwell with fire rated material. • c. Use 2 hour rated self closing doors at the entrance to each floor with panic hardware on doors. • d. All exit doors shall swing outward toward exit. • e. All construction material in stairwell shall be non combustible. • f. HVAC ductwork or gas piping shall not pass through stairwell unless ducting through 1 hour fire rating material

  7. 7. Separate elevators (lifts) from stairwell enclosure. The lifts should be their own 2 hour fire rated enclosure. Refer to BNBC for further info.

  8. 8. Use electrical connectors/wire nuts to connect wires throughout the building,NOT ELECTRICAL TAPE.(sewing tables not properly wired)

  9. 9. Post fire evacuation maps

  10. 10. Label all rooms properly: • a. Type of room – i.e. boiler, electrical • b. No Smoking • c. Hazard • i. Diesel ii. Machine oil iii. Chemical

  11. 11. Make boiler room a projected room from building. Need 2 hour fire walls and doors.

  12. 12. Bulk fuel storage should be separated from building.

  13. 13. Need material safety data sheets from all chemicals stored on site. Chemical containers need proper safety labeling.

  14. 14. Use fire safetycabinet to isolate any chemical or flammable solvents inside storage rooms.

  15. 15. Post address on building.

  16. 16. Check fire alarm requirements for elevator (lift)recall, with elevator shunt trip in International Fire Code and Bangladesh national Building Code.

  17. 17. Fire alarm zones should be separated by device not floors. • Examples: • 1st floor zone 1 smoke detector • 1st floor zone 2 call points • 1st floor zone 3 heat detectors.

  18. 18. Eating area (canteen) for employees needs to be on lowest floor as possible. The past history of factory fires where workers were trapped and died has shown that the canteens were on the higher floors. The fires usually start on a lower floor and send smoke/fire up the stairwells trapping them. Canteens located on the lower floors allows workers a better chance of exiting safely. This also shows the importance of fire rated enclosure for stairwells.

  19. 19. Emergency power (generator) needed for fire pump and elevator. This can also be used for emergency lights and exit signs (an emergency circuit) if desired. Attention must be given to the proper size of generator in order to handle multiple circuits.

  20. 20. Reference Material: • A) The Bangladesh National Building Code • 1 .Part 4 Fire Protection with Specific reference to: • a. Chapter 5 • b. section 5.8 Occupancy (F) Factory: Industrial • c. section 5.18 High Rise Buildings • d. Appendix A: Fire Drill and Evacuation Procedure for High-rise Buildings • e. Appendix B: Fire Alarm System • f. Appendix C: Venting for Fire Protection in Industrial and storage Buildings • g. Appendix D: Provision and Maintenance of Water • B) The International Fire Code (IFC) • C) The National Fire Protection Association NFPA 101 Life Safety Code. This code was developed because of The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire in New York in 1911.
