February Meeting

Special Hazards

Presented by Cicero Humberto Aidar, Global Learning & Development Manager at Chubb Risk Engineering Center

This month’s chapter meeting will be a Joint meeting with Lehigh Valley IFMA

Special hazards present unique and greater fire peril to facilities. Rapidly developing fires and explosions can occur with flammable liquid use, dusty operations, flammable gas use, exotic metals, and so on. While fire sprinklers designed for occupancy hazards generally control building fires, special hazards exposures generally require additional levels of protection for control and/or suppression.
