SAFETY AND FIRE PROTECTION



                                        Emergency reporting can also be achieved by using a dedicated
                                        emergency telephone system. Additionally, manual fire alarm stations can

                                        be installed instead of, or to supplement, the telephone reporting system.

                                        When a dedicated telephone system is used, a special telephone should
                                        should be capable of being heard in all areas of the terminal regardless์นาวี
                                        be installed in the control room or supervisory station to receive
                                        emergency calls. The telephone should be capable of receiving incoming
                                        calls only and extensions should also be provided at other locations which
                                        have preliminary emergency responsibility.

                                        The general alarm system should, as a minimum, consist of one or more
                                        air horns, electric horns or steam whistles which are strategically located

                                        to ensure maximum coverage throughout the terminal. The alarm should
                                        be clear, audible and distinctive from signals used for other purposes, and

                                        of background noise.

                                        Auxiliary alarm devices should be provided for indoor locations or remote
                                        areas where the general alarm cannot be heard. These alarms may be
                                        bells, or air or electric horns. Whichever devices are provided, they should
                                        be the same throughout the facility and should be distinct from other
                                        warning devices.

                              19.3.4    Alternative Alarm and Signalling System Design
                                        Although a coded alarm system is generally preferable for large terminals,
                                        a non-coded, announcement type system can be used. Either system can
                                        consist of telephones or manual fire alarm stations at strategic locations.
                                        Coded manual fire alarm stations can be connected to the general alarm
                                        to sound a coded signal without manual intervention. Non-coded stations
                                        can be arranged to show fire location on a fire alarm indicator in the
                                        central control room or supervisory station so that the attendant can
                                        energise the code transmitter. Both the coded or non-coded
                                        announcement type systems should be controlled from a central fire
                                        alarm control panel.



                              19.3.5    Interface Between Detection Systems and Alarm or
                                        Fire Extinguishing Systems – Circuit Design
                                        Actuation relays, where required between detectors and alarm or
                                        extinguishing systems, should consist of closed loops that are normally
                                        de-energised, and that require an input of sufficient electrical energy to
                                        activate the alarm or extinguishing system. This arrangement will prevent
                                        a false activation of an alarm or extinguishing system upon loss of power.
                                        It also allows for provision of a separate fault signal upon power loss.


                              19.3.6    Electric Power Sources

                                        Electric power should be available from two highly reliable sources. The
                                        usual arrangement is an alternating current (AC) primary power supply,
                                        with a trickle charger supplying an emergency battery system for standby
                                        power. In some locations, authorities may require an engine driven
                                        generator as a secondary power supply in case the primary supply fails.

                                        The capacity of secondary power supplies varies with the type of alarm
                                        system and the requirements of local regulatory authorities. For local or
                                        proprietary alarm systems where signals are registered only at the
