In
the year 2010-2011, according to the United Kingdom HSE statistics 171 workers
were killed at work, a rate of 0.6 fatalities per 100 000 workers, 26.4 million
days were lost overall, on an average 15 days per case of work-related illness
or workplace injury. In the Middle East as per the HSE statistics the most
common reasons cited for fire mishaps are non-working smoke alarms: worn or
missing batteries. The challenges that need to be tackled by communities and
organisations world wide include confined space rescue, fire prevention in
public transports, emergency preparedness, active and passive fire protection
etc. The least organisations can do is to educate and make aware the workforce
about measures to avert disasters, loss prevention, and post incident recovery.
On
a professional level organisations need to be aware about the newer codes and
standards in the industry so that the infrastructure always conforms to the
norms considered safe according to the safety standards.
Market
analysis shows that fear motives and greed motives being the main reasons
behind fire safety gaining so much importance in the industry.
Taking
into consideration the imperative industry needs Fleming Gulf conferences is
organising the 3rd Annual Middle East Fire Safe Conference to be held from 24 –
26 September 2012 in Dubai. This conference would be a staggering platform for
strategic exchange of topics related to fire safety in various industries
ranging from Construction, Oil and Gas, Hospitality, Aviation and
Transportation, to Design and Architecture Firms. The conference would have
speakers discussing on latest technologies such as fire fighting monitors,
green sprinklers and fire fighting foam-equipment, conducting effective
emergency response training for the teams, measurement techniques for
validating tunnel ventilation air flows for metro systems, sustainable fire
prevention systems, standards and codes of practice and many more.
The
conference would see an impressive speaker line up consisting of experts like
