Description
The purpose of this seminar is to enhance the exchange of information for fire protection at research facilities. Participants are representatives from various particle physics laboratories worldwide as well as from universities. It continues from the workshop held at ESS in January 2015. Until now CERN, ESS, Fermilab, Max IV and the universities of Lund, Magdeburg and Wuppertal have been involved. A wide variety of topics is covered within this workshop. They range from hazard characterisation (burning behaviour of combustible items, fire simulations and gas handling (oxygen deficiency hazard, flammability)), over active and passive protection systems, the intervention by rescue teams, general life safety in underground facilities to methodologies and tools of fire risk assessments.
