SAFETY AND FIRE PROTECTION

Use of fire detection equipment that is designed to activate fixed
fire-fighting equipment automatically may be advisable where a terminal
---ใช้เพื่อการศึกษาเท่านั้น---
extends away from shore in such a way that manual fire-fighting is
difficult, dangerous or ineffective. This may also be advisable where
fire-fighting boats are not available and accessibility with fire-fighting
automatic fire or gas detection systems include transfer pumps, valveย์นาวี
vehicles is poor, or at locations where trained fire-fighting personnel are
limited in number and/or not always available for rapid response.

In most cases, a manually operated fire protection system is to be
preferred. Upon actuation of a detector, the detection system should
sound a local alarm and send a signal to a continuously attended control
panel. If conditions warrant, the fire protection system may be manually
activated by an operator, the fire brigade, or by personnel who monitor the

alarm.
Equipment and terminal areas that are sometimes monitored with

manifolds, loading arm areas, control rooms, electrical switch gear
enclosures, operator’s sheds, below deck areas, and other equipment or
areas susceptible to hydrocarbon leaks and spills or that contain ignition
sources.

19.4.2 Control Rooms/Control Buildings
ึ
When determining necessary detection and alarm equipment for control
rooms, the first consideration should always be the requirements of local
regulations. Once these have been met, the installation of additional gas
and fire detection devices with associated alarm equipment depends on
site specific factors such as control room pressurisation and attendance.

The following general detection and alarm facilities are suggested for all
control rooms or buildings:

Manual fire alarm stations should be provided at all exits. The
operation of a manual fire station should sound a local alarm and
should activate an alarm at the main fire control panel, if provided.
A fire detection system should be installed in any area of a control
building that is normally unattended. Each detector should raise a

and should activate an alarm at the main fire control panel located in a
continuously attended area.
Combustible gas detectors should be installed in the supply air intake
vents of pressurised control rooms and inside non-pressurised control
rooms. Each gas detector should sound a local alarm and should
annunciate an alarm at a main fire control panel located in a
continuously attended area.

equipped with additional facilities. If the terminal handles volatile liquids, a
fixed fire extinguishing system, activated automatically upon detection of
combustible gas or fire, may be installed. The gas or fire detection system
should then be arranged in a cross-zone array (see Section 19.2.6).
