FIRE & EXPLOSION RISK ASSESSMENT (FERA)

What is Fire & Explosion Risk Assessment (FERA)

A Fire and Explosion Risk Assessment (FERA) is carried out to identify and evaluate fire and explosion occurrences linked to flammable stocks that could affect employees, buildings, and equipment. It is a system for determining and assessing fire and explosive risks in a structured and methodical manner. The findings are used to ensure safe facility layouts, specify passive and active fire protection requirements, and provide input for studies such as Escape and Evacuation Risk Assessment, Emergency Systems Survival Assessment (ESSA), Building Risk Assessment (BRA), and Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA).

 The Fire and Explosion Risk Assessment Study (FERA Study) quantifies the likelihood of fire and explosion accidents, as well as their repercussions. The asset risks associated with incidents induced by Loss of Containments (LOC) will be quantified by FERA.

The objective of Fire & Explosion Risk Assessment (FERA)

• • • • All credible fire and explosion events linked to flammable stocks that could have an influence on the facilities must be analysed and objectively assessed.
      • To ensure appropriate recommendations for the design and operation of facilities in order to reduce the risk of fire.
      • To contribute to decisions about system and equipment design, the arrangement of primary areas and equipment, and the need for barriers.

OUR SCOPE OF WORK

We provide you with the latest performance-based design solutions and engineering best practices while helping to determine applicable codes and standards. We comply with the national codes and standards, engineering best practices, performance-based consulting, and fire & life safety audit criteria. Our team also specializes in construction and system investigation during the lifecycle of a building and assists in designing a go-forward plan and helps manage the upgrade.
