House fire injury prevention update. Part I. A review of risk factors for fatal and non-fatal house fire injury.
OBJECTIVE To summarize house fire injury risk factor data, using relative risk estimation as a uniform method of comparison. METHODS Residential fire risk factor studies were identified as follows: MEDLINE (1983 to March 1997) was searched using the keywords fire*/burn*, with etiology/cause*, prevention, epidemiology, and smoke detector* or alarm*. ERIC (1966 to March 1997) and PSYCLIT (1974 ...
متن کاملDesign of a Fire Susceptibility Index for fire risk monitoring
Wildfire risk assessment has traditionally been carried out using models based on meteorological parameters measured at spatially sparse weather stations. Remote sensing techniques can offer a cost effective way of esimating the required parameters such as fuel moisture and fuel temperature in near-real time. Moreover remote sensing can provide wide area coverage and thus circumvent errors intr...
متن کاملUpgrading Design Systems
Design systems can have considerable embedded value. Improvements in such systems are better achieved through upgrades than through complete replacements. To determine how best to make these upgrades requires a systems view of design, ^uch a view is provided by what we call TAO (testaspect-operator) graphs. Nodes in these graphs represent aspects of the artifacts being designed while arcs repre...
متن کاملFire and explosion risk assessment in a chemical company by the application of DOW fire and explosion index
Background: Fire and explosion hazards are extremely important in processing units. This study was performed to identify the risk centers, the potential damage caused by fire and explosion, and the days of production cessation in the processing company. Materials and Methods: The present qualitative case study was conducted using Dow’s index in 2015. The fire and explosion hazard index...
متن کاملSmoke alarm ownership and house fire death rates in children.
Residential fires are the second leading cause of unintentional injury death among children ages 1–14 in the UK. Case-control data show that smoke alarms are associated with a substantial reduction in the risk of death in the event of a house fire, the protective eVect being greatest in fires involving children under 5. In the UK, the Home OYce recommends that all homes are fitted with smoke al...
