Fire protection has three major goals: life safety, property
protection, continuity of operations.
Structural fire protection (e.g. land-based buildings, offshore
constructions or onboard ships) is typically achieved via three
means:
- Passive fire protection (use of integral, fire-resistance rated
wall and floor assemblies that are used to form fire compartments
intended to limit the spread of fire, or occupancy separations, or
firewalls, to keep fires, high temperatures and flue gases within
the fire compartment of origin, thus enabling firefighting and
evacuation).
- Active fire protection (manual and automatic detection and
suppression of fires, as in using and installing a fire sprinkler
system or finding the fire, fire alarm, and / or extinguishing
it).
- Education.
SSR® focus on providing sales, engineering, designing and
maintenance staff to commercial entities who deliver services and
manufacture products that meet these goals for structural
entities.
