New strategies for rail fire safety

[

A seminar on managing the outputs of fire strategies in the rail sector is being organised by the Rail Industry Fire Association. Topics include managing fire safety on the ground, fire consultants, the regulators’ view of CFD analysis, and emergency planning.

The event is on 2 April at the London Fire Brigade headquarters.

Meanwhile, the association has been working on a number of rail fire safety initiatives, including:

  • a pro-forma for the development of fire risk assessments in the industry

  • updated guidance on the provision and location of portable fire extinguishers on rail premises

  • the collection of data on fire loads in different rolling stock to better inform smoke and evacuation modelling
    • The association is also working with the Institution of Fire Engineers to develop a transport special interest group. For more information on the seminar email [email protected]
