Unit of Competency | CPCSFS7001A - Define scope of and initiate special hazard fire systems design projects |
---|---|---|---|
Description | This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to define the scope of a project to design a complex special hazard fire system and put in place mechanisms to support the design work. The unit addresses the careful clarification of the special hazards project's scope, including an assessment of the level of risk attached to the equipment or facility for which the fire system is being designed, and the development of fire risk solutions. The unit covers the conduct of a thorough analysis of any relevant standards as well as of the project brief itself.Processes to guide and manage the special hazard fire systems design project are also covered. The development of a fire systems design project is subject to significant complexities due to the typical requirement to integrate multiple fire suppression and detection systems.Special hazard fire systems include gaseous, foam and water spray solutions which offer protection for life safety, and to facilities and equipment vital to business operation and success. Special hazard fire systems may fall outside the ambit of the Building Code of Australia. Client requirements may specify use of the U.S. National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards. Licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements may apply to this unit and so the varying state or territory requirements should be confirmed with the relevant body. | ||
