Passive Fire Protection for Hydrocarbon Fires

Fire protection is a moral and legal obligation to ensure the safety of people at work. If fire safety is not met, for example, with passive fire protection, the economic and social effects of a fire can be catastrophic.

Fire protection is essential because it provides:

• Protection for personnel – it gives people time to evacuate or seek shelter in the event of a fire
• Asset protection – it minimizes damage to the structure before the fire department arrives
