Presenter: Tim Jones (RPS Group)

CPD: Attendance gives 1.5 hours of CPD.

As part of a structured process safety management system, fire and gas detection plays an important role in the protection of people, the environment, assets and corporate reputation. Detection is dependent on both the hardware’s ability to function on demand and detectors being located in the ‘right’ place. Historically, there has been a significant effort invested in ensuring detectors function on demand and less focus given to their positioning (termed fire and gas detector mapping).

Historically there has been limited guidance on how many detectors you need and where they should go. The reason being that the locating of detectors is not trivial and can be influenced by many factors such as ventilation conditions (both forced and natural), nature of the gas being released, congestion, confinement, amongst others. This presentation will give an overview of what can considered good practice with respect to fire and gas detector mapping and highlight key points from the recently published British Standard on the topic (BS 60080:2020).
