DEVELOPMENTS IN FIRE PROTECTION OF OFFSHORE PLATFORMS

Nine contributions, 8 of which are indexed separately, are contained in this book. The book sets out to detail the fire and explosive risks, outline the legislative and accepted safety standards, and explain in some detail the type of equipment available and the way in which it is designed into logical systems. These systems are installed to give early warning of danger, to obtain extinguishment where possible or to control and limit fire damage until more positive action--such as emergency shut down--can be put into effect.
