RISING INSECURITY A SAFETY CONCERN

For over a decade, Nigeria has been fraught with insecurity challenges. Gradually, Nigeria is notoriously known for the poor level of safety and security threats within its border.  This problem has gradually metastasised to most nooks and crannies of the nation as there is palpable fear in the land. It is a fact now that the issue of insecurity has invincible social and economic dimensions.  No day passes by without reports of wanton killings and attacks.  This menace seems to defy prolonged efforts aimed at addressing it. Recent security breaches underscore the dire need for concerted and deliberate efforts coupled with a resolved commitment to fight our security woes.  Truthfully, insecurity is a global issue; it is not a Nigerian thing. However, what is important here is that this challenge is identified and tackled timely.

WHY CHOOSE FM200 NOVEC 1230 AND INERT GAS FIRE SUPPRESSION SOLUTIONS

FM-200, NOVECTM 1230, and Inert gasses are the most common clean agent fire suppression systems in the market today. The clean agent fire suppression (total flooding) systems here include – Heptaflouropropane (HFC227ea or FM 200TM) and other halocarbons, including Halon 1310, HFC-125, HFC-23. Flouroketone ‘Dodecafluoro-2-methylpentan-3-one (FK-5-1-12) or NOVECTM 1230’ is a good clean agent. Inergen (IG541 or Nitrogen 52%, Argon 40% and CO2 8%), Nitrogen IG-100 (N-100 or 100% Nitrogen), Argon IG01 (Argon 100%) and Argonite (IG55 or 50% Argon, 50% Nitrogen). They have a high capacity to extinguish a fire without leaving residue after evaporation. Clean agents are non-toxic, non-corrosive, electrically non-conductive and environmentally friendly.

AVERTING INCESSANT ROAD ACCIDENTS SAFETY FOR ALL

Road safety is critical to the socioeconomic agenda of nations across the world. The world wide cost of road traffic is estimated to be U$518 billion annually.  This impact has emerged as a significant safety concern where its occurrence on each passing day leads to the untimely end of valuable human and material resources. It is tiring to express that road safety is a timely critical move that must be urgently fixed and wholly addressed.

MONITORING SAFETY AND SECURITY IMPLEMENTED SYSTEMS THROUGH THE INTERNET OF THINGS

Wikipedia states that “The Internet of things describes physical objects with sensors, processing ability, software and other technologies that connect and exchange data with other devices and systems over the Internet or other communications networks.” The things in the IoT can be a person with a heart monitor implant, an endangered animal that is embedded with biochip transponder that helps the wildlife managers in tracking animals, a building with motion detectors for intrusion detection and alarm, a fluid level monitor for notifying the facility mangers of need to procure and refill the storage tank, fire detection system that notifies the fire service department during a fire emergency, an aerial scanner that carries out geospatial analysis and feeds the output to map exploration and transportation management applications in individuals’ devices over the internet.

THE URGENT NEED FOR POLUTION CONTROL

The consequences of environmental pollution is visible in severe. In recent times the world is grappling with and chronic deadly diseases; the destruction of aquatic life (both flora and fauna) has damaged the natural habitat of man and some precious irreplaceable wildlife as the world keeps getting warmer and hotter, continuous depletion of soil quality has greatly altered food production (quality and quantity), depletion of earth resources has resulted to deterioration of life cycle and expectancy and opened the door for other calamities like earthquakes, cyclones, flooding to wreck our world. Evidently, all of these have caused irreplaceable damage to humankind.

SAFETY FACTOR CONSIDERATIONS IN ENGINEERING RELIABILITY

Engineering Reliability puts Safety margins in consideration. Safety margins are the measure of the planned, estimated or calculated values of engineering parameters against the actual at implementation or production phase. This entails that there could be some level of deviations from of the design parameters from the actual values that are considered as standard error. Safety Factor is the structural application of safety margin, which considers the structural design loads against actual design loads. Fire protection services has significant influence in this as major contributor of dead and live loads in structural systems, especially buildings.

DECARBONIZATION AND THE FUTURE OF ENERGY

The global strategy of achieving zero-carbon emissions from burning fuels is to optimize, electrify and decarbonize to maintain natural threshold of atmospheric CO2 levels and environmental safety, while achieving sustainability through alternative, renewable and efficient energy options.

Fire Safety Strategy
THE HSE PERSPECTIVE OF THE EBEANO SUPERMARKET FIRE OUTBREAK

From the standpoint of NFPA 101, the occupancy type (mercantile) and loading of shopping malls directly make them a high hazardous area as the majority of the items stored are some sort of fuels and inflammable materials, alongside, the oxygen-rich environment and the high traffic of buyers in them. And even with the recent E-commerce trends, some malls have installed data centers for ease of transaction processes. All these considerations make malls a location with a potentially high fire-hazard classification area. With this knowledge of the fire hazard classifications of malls, HSE policies such as RTNs, hazardous signals, age-limit restrictions, appropriate demarcation for highly inflammable materials are to be incorporated into malls to ultimately reduce the risk of damages to HSE and assets, ensuring compliance to standards and regulatory requirements.
