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.

Расширение производств сжиженных горючих газов и в значительном объеме сжиженного природного газа, направленное на обеспечение энергобезопасности страны, требует повышения уровня обеспечения пожарной безопасности производства и использования сжиженных горючих газов. В этой связи в целях совершенствования пожарной безопасности в работе проведен анализ данных новых научных исследований, отечественных и зарубежных стандартов по обеспечению безопасности при обращении с сжиженными горючими газами, способных содействовать решению задач предотвращения и ликвидации аварий с пожарами сжиженных горючих газов. The expansion of production of liquefied combustible gases and especially of liquefied natural gas, aimed to ensuring the energy security of the country requires an increase in fire safety level of production and usage of liquefied combustible gases. In order to improve fire safety there is carried out the analysis of recent research findings, as well as national and international standards for liquefied combustible gases application. These findings can contribute prevention and elimination of accidents related with liquefied combustible gas fires.

The training system of the volunteer fire-fightersTo enable fire-fighters to successfully fulfill their responsibilities, they need to constantly improve their skills and broaden their knowledge to help society and to be ready to deal with the new civilization hazards and threats. The legislation of the fire safety law regulations in the 1991 enforce to organize the new education system both for the professional fire management officers and the commanders of the volunteer fire units. Moreover it enables to acquire the new qualifications on the field of the fire safety equipment such as: hydraulic equipment, lifting bags, thermal camera, multi-gas sensor detector.All of those qualifications are necessary to broaden the scope of the responsibilities of the volunteer fire-fighters on the area of different specialization, where the common professionalism of firefighters can improve the efficiency of rescue actions.
