Live Premium Webinar Series: Practical Implementation of Reliability and System Reliability in Fire Risk Assessment

Thank you

This live web event has ended. Thank you for attending.

Description

As a performance-based tool, fire risk assessment needs to include considerations of fire protection features design and installed to mitigate the identified fire hazards.These fire protection features are often represented in the assessment using reliability and system reliability techniques. This webinar summarizes practical approaches for modeling fire protection features and described how they can be incorporated in the fire risk assessment.
