Nanotechnology is used, to an increasing extent, in practically every aspect of the economy and society. One area where nanotechnology is constantly advancing is fire protection. Nanostructures are found in elements used in direct protection, such as in protective clothing, filters, and helmets. Solutions in the field of nanotechnology are also used in elements reducing the fire risk and increasing the fire safety, such as building materials and structures, paints, coatings, or fire safety equipment (e.g., fire detectors). However, new solutions may also pose a threat to the safety of people and the environment. As a result of operation or combustion and degradation processes, the emission of nano-substances with toxic properties may occur. Therefore, knowledge in this field is necessary, as it allows for the appropriate targeting and use of nanotechnology.

The operating room’s environment requires constant monitoring of fire risks. The conditions placing patients at risk for surgical fires are well defined. Most of these conditions are preventable but require a group or team effort by operating room personnel. A significant number of organizations have taken the initiative in a cooperative manner to increase awareness of the potential for surgical fires and have embarked on educational efforts on how to prevent these fires. The knowledge of how to manage the different types of operating room or surgical fires is also important, in order to reduce morbidity and mortality during these sentinel events. Therefore, knowledge of fire safety equipment in the operating rooms and policies and procedures are important in the educational process. Four scenarios are presented in this chapter to cover the information relating to operating room fires.

This study constructed professional competence indicators for technical personnel in fire safety equipment that can be used to guide curriculum planning of fire-protection-related programs in colleges and universities; training of technical personnel in fire safety equipment in the industry; and the mandatory national examinations for technical personnel in fire protection. To achieve the purpose of this study, document analysis, expert interviews, and the Delphi technique were used to verify that there are three first-level dimension indicators. These three primary indicators were categorized as knowledge, skills, and attitude, with an additional 12 second-level orientation indicators and 61 third-level detailed indicators. Furthermore, in relation to the importance–performance analysis, the falling point distribution of the detailed indicators of technical personnel in fire protection in the four quadrants of the IPA model chart was obtained in order to provide a reference for the industry, government, and academia.

Abstract. Underground utilities locating is an important process to identify buried utility facilities for inspection and maintenance purposes. The process involves the use of underground utility maps and detecting devices to identify utilities as well as paints to mark the positions. However, this practice requires sophisticated devices, and skilful and experienced workers. The whole process takes time and is costly to operate. To solve these difficulties, an easy to use Augmented Reality (AR) mobile application, namely AR Pipeline Visualiser (ARPV) was developed. ARPV has feature for identifying pipelines which allows their attributes to be displayed. Besides, it also comes with colour classification buttons based on the pipelines’ attribute values which help users to discriminate pipelines better. ARPV uses spatial data in GeoJSON format which is hosted on Mapbox’s online database. ARPV is developed using Unity3D engine and Mapbox SDK for Unity. ARPV utilizes smartphone’s sensors to determine the location and orientation of the device, then, render the corresponding pipelines graphics on top of the reality scene through camera and screen. A qualitative testing with an engineer from Pejabat Harta Bina, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia shows that the application has an advantage in providing better visualisation and understanding of water pipeline than conventional method.

Fire Scenarios

The present paper proposes an innovative system architecture for the safety management of passenger evacuation inside an Airport Terminal, in case of a big indoor fire. The basic idea, in addition to fire hazard pre-assessment, is that information from a fast-predictive simulation of the fire evolution, immediately after the fire starting, could help the airport safety management system in taking sudden decisions to manage very specific fire scenarios. The system is based on an advanced technological interconnection among a simulation model of Fire Safety Engineering, IoT safety and environmental sensors, specific Augmented Reality equipment, and a remote server, able to exchange data by Wi-Fi connections and to elaborate them on a software platform. The ultimate scope of this system is to equip rescuers and airport safety managers with added value AR tools, like AR smart-glasses or tablets, usable for supporting safety decisions and emergency interventions.
