屋宇署 BUILDINGS DEPARTMENT Code of Practice for Fire Safety in Buildings 2011 ET出 KE VENT NOT 排煙口子 此乃排遵口不得 KEEP CLEAR 生時 Foreword Fire safety in buildings is determined by a number of factors:the provisions of means of escape in case of fire the ability for a building to resist the effects of fire and to minimize the spread of fire and smoke and the provision of means of access to enable firefighters to effect rescue and fight fire. Following a review of the Code of Practice for the Provision of Means of Escape in Case of Fire 1996 the Code of Practice for Fire Resisting Construction 1996 and the Code of Practice for Means of Access for Firefighting and Rescue 2004 this Code of Practice is issued to replace the said three Codes of Practice and to provide guidance on pliance with the requirements laid down in the Building (Construction)Regulation 90 and the Building (Planning)Regulations 41 41A 41B 41C and 41D which include the requirements for fire resisting construction means of escape and means of access for firefighting and rescue to buildings.In addition it also provides guidelines on the testing standards for the fire properties of building elements and ponents fire safety management of buildings and the alternative approach in fire safety design i.e.fire engineering approach. This Code of Practice may be cited as the Code of Practice for Fire Safety in Buildings.It is prepared and issued by the Buildings Department on the basis of the consultancy study on fire engineering approach and fire safety in buildings.The consultancy study was conducted by Ove Arup Partners Hong Kong Ltd missioned by the Buildings Department and was supervised by a Steering Committee prising representatives of professional institutions and other stakeholders of the building industry as well as other Government Departments.Composition of the Steering Committee is as follows: Steering Committee: Chairman Assistant Director/Corporate Services Buildings Department Members Chief B...

Introduction 1.1 Fire ,Explosions ,and Environmental Pollution Fire ,explosions and environmental pollution are the most serious " unpredict- able "issues affecting life and business losses in the hydrocarbon and chemical industries today .The issues have existed since the inception of industrial-scale petroleum and chemical operations during the middle of the last century .They continue to occur with ever-increasing financial impacts and highly visible news reports .Management involvement in the prevention of these incidents is vital if they are to avoided .Although from some perspectives ," accidents"are thought of as non-preventable ,in fact all accidents ,or more correctly " incidents",are preventable . Research and historical analyses have shown that main cause of incidents or fail - ures can be categorized into the four following basic areas : Ignorance ,for example : Assumption of responsibility by management without an adequate understanding of risks : Supervision or maintenance occurs by personnel without the necessary understanding : Inplete design ,construction or inspection occurs ; There is a lack of sufficient preliminary information ; Failure to employ i...
