Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - NIOSH Alert : preventing deaths and Injuries of fire fighters using risk management: principles at structure fires

Publication: Cincinnati : National Institute for Occupational safety and health, 2010Notes: Sumario: Fire fighters are often killed or injured when fighting fires in abandoned, vacant, and unoccupied structures. These structures pose additional and sometimes unique risks due to the potential for firefighters to encounter unexpected and unsafe building conditions such as dilapidation, decay, damage from previous fires and vandals, and other factors such as uncertain occupancy status. Risk management principles must be applied at all structure fires to ensure the appropriate strategy and tactics are used based on the fireground conditions encountered.Materia / lugar / evento: Gerencia de riesgos Lucha contra incendios Bomberos Estructuras Edificios Fuego Mortalidad Otros autores: National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
