1.AimThis guide has been prepared not only for safety officers and workers who are responsib|e forsuperVising and preserving safety in bu"dings but also for bu"ding ccupants especia"yconcerning government bu"dings.This is in Iine ith the Con dential General CircuIar No1 of1993reIating t improving the qua"ty of safety protection cOntrols in goVernmenta departmentsdated15March1993.

2 GeneraIIn genera1a"emp oyees or bu ding occupants ought to improve their knowledge and sk" s infire safety. This may be achieved by insti"ing the cu ure of fire prevention and safety at theworkpace Each empoyee and bu"ding occupant shouId be ab e to detect and put out fire atthe eary stage.

Pevention is better than cure The question now is, hoW Can you prevent anything forthat matte1 when you do not kno ` the Causes, Therefore, it is important that Weunderstand how fires break out.Fires can occur when a source of heat and fuel reactinoxygen Please referto diagram1for the fire triangle.

562 ConVeCtionVVhen fire occurs,the surrounding airis heated and expands,thus beComing buoyantThe ht air rises and is rep aced by coo air, causing air circuIation. This processtransfers the hot air and other fire products to the upper floors through the |ift shaft,esca ator and unprotected duct,This phenomenon w" resu"in the vertical spread ofthe fire to the upper pa ofthe bu"ding,thereby preventing the occupants from eavingthe bu"ding.F lease see diagram V I

5.6.3 RadiationFire spoead Can Occur through radiation. Radiation is heat transferred throughelectrmagnotic waves. When re occurs, heat is transferred thr0ugh ra-iationwhereby heating up the surroun-ings and when a certain cQmbustib|e i exposed toradiation becomes extreme y heated to the point of ignition, the proc0ss ofdecomposkion occurs, and the combustibIe inVolved w"l spontaneous y seignite.PIease referto diagram V",
