Risk Management affirms the latent capacity of governments businesses to effectively manage Safety, Security, and Environmental risks. Risk management provides a clear and structured approach to identifying and management of risks and is carried out pre-loss. It is a core requirement for the sustainable development and growth of a business or nation. For ORM,
Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) Process Explained Failure Modes and Effects Analysis is a formal methodology for identifying potential failure modes and their associated hazards which is suitable for the detailed engineering design of a product or process. The steps are as follows: Describe the system or process whose failure modes are sought. Identify the ways in which the system or process might fail. These failure modes may be identified by historical data, personal experience, or a process similar to brainstorming. Identify the symptoms of each failure mode that might aid in the detection
ICT, TELECOMMUNICATION FACILITIES & CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE PROTECTION: ACCEPTED STANDARD, BENCHMARKS & MITIGATIVE MEASURES
Fire safety is a fundamental consideration in building design and management, but unfortunately, one that is often overlooked as concepts like firewalls are today more likely to be associated with IT security than with physical safety. This concept utilizes both passive and active means for fire risk detection and mitigation. From an engineering perspective, fire risks are avoidable to residual levels or to As Low As Reasonably Practicable (ALARP) and this is achieved using proper engineering principles benchmarked to several performance criteria to prevent the occurrence of a fire incident or contain and extinguish the incipient fire.
Generally, policies put in place to combat wildfires are rallied around several policies. To start with, Government and all stakeholders must be fully prepared in acquiring first intervention equipments such as forest fire trucks, aircraft dispensers, communication gadgets amongst many others. Also new technologies such as Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems should be leveraged on to improve on data acquisition and analysis for fire forecasting and prediction as prevention is increasingly considered as the most important approach to wildfire management. Investing in fire prediction and prevention is paramount proactively; and a commitment that must be at the heart of all which must evidently play out at local, sub national and regional levels. Africa must strengthen education and awareness improvement on wildfire prevention to teach citizens on personal and corporate safety tips . More so, policymakers must focus on strengthening cooperation and mutual integration between stakeholders and countries as fire knows no borders or sector. This will require greater coordinated expertise through public – private partnership and concerted multidisciplinary research.
JCI continues to trail the SAFETY & SECURITY PATH in the new Energy Culture.
Engineered for Lithium-Ion batteries used in fixed energy storage systems, our new early warning detection system indicates when there is a malfunction within the battery cell, through the detection of off-gases, allowing actions to be taken that can prevent thermal runaway.
“An explosion is a rapid expansion in volume associated with an extreme outward release of energy, usually with the generation of high temperatures and release of high-pressure gases… A conflagration is a large fire.” What suddenly increases is temperature, pressure, energy and material volume, thus making explosion and conflagration destructive. Flammable solids (especially dusts or particulate solids), liquids, and gases are most sources of explosion. There are three types of explosions, namely CHEMICAL EXPLOSION, MECHANICAL EXPLOSION, and NUCLEAR EXPLOSION.
Constructability review is a process used during project design phase to inculcate construction knowledge into the design process. Constructability reviews are analyzed at the project level by comparing change order percentages on projects reviewed against those not being reviewed. Computed percentages that requires change are computed to report how constructible the project design is. A design is poor for implementation if the percentage change orders is high and vise-vasa.
Firefighting vehicles vary from trolley-based firefighting equipment, skid-based firefighting equipment, mobile firefighting vehicle, unmanned firefighting aircraft, and manned firefighting aircrafts. These depend on the nature of fire incident, firefighting tactics, criticality of fire incident, size and coverage of fire outbreak.
A data breach could cripple your small business, costing you thousands or millions of dollars in lost sales and/or damages. High-profile cyber attacks on companies such as Target and Sears have raised awareness of the growing threat of cybercrime. Recent surveys conducted by the Small Business Authority, Symantec, Kaspersky Lab, and the National Cybersecurity Alliance suggest that many small business owners are still operating under a false sense of cybersecurity.
