Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - Home cooking fire mitigation : technology assessment

Publication: Quincy : The Fire Protection Research Foundation, 2011Notes: Sumario: This report presents the results of a study commissioned by the National Institute of Standards and Technology whose objective was to Develop an action plan to mitigate loss from home cooking fires by furthering the implementation of proven effective safety technologies related to home cooking. The study was to focus particularly on prevention technologies suitable for use on or with home cooking appliances. The study was overseen by a project technical panel consisting of stakeholder leaders, and consists of a literature and Technology review; the development of an enhanced technology evaluation methodology, building on the ADL study described above to include a basis in an in-depth review of cooking fire statistics; and the evaluation of currently available technologies using this methodology. A complete table of assessed technologies and total scores, considering the prevention of fire related deaths, impacts on cooking, and the costs and conveniences associated with their use is shown in Figure ES-1. In addition, a review of installations of a stove top retrofit sensor type technology (Safe-T Element) was conductedMateria / lugar / evento: Seguridad contra incendios Seguridad doméstica Prevención de accidentes Cocinas Instalaciones eléctricas Accidentes en el hogar Estadísticas Estados Unidos Otros autores: Cleary, Jennifer
