Fire Safety Concept & Strategy
The document that decides everything downstream — and the one most often written last.
What it establishes
- The inventory: media, states, quantities, handling operations
- Hazard identification and the credible fire and explosion scenarios
- Protection philosophy: prevention, detection, control, suppression, containment
- Performance targets each system has to meet, and why
- Interfaces with process safety, emergency response and the operator’s own procedures
- The design basis handed to the design teams
Deliverables
- Fire safety concept for the facility
- Fire and explosion hazard identification register
- Design basis and performance requirements
- Protection philosophy documents per unit or area
Where a client already has a concept, we review it against the process rather than against a checklist. That review is usually shorter and more useful than a rewrite.
