The vast majority of fire deaths in buildings occur in dwellings. A very small percentage of fire deaths occur in non-residential buildings, yet there is very significant expenditure on fire safety and protection. There is evidence that substantial cost savings are possible while maintaining our current fire safety record. The design for fire safety in building is controlled and administered in a highly legalistic, regulatory environment. There are numerous factors which affect the fire safety of a building. Traditional approaches cannot readily quantify the integrated effect of such factors on life safety. Building regulations, for example, clearly do no take account of all the possible interactions between physical fire safety features, provisions for maintenance, and the nature of the people and activities in the building. There is a need to introduce design flexibility to consider a wide range of possible fire-safety systems. 1989-01-01T00:00:00Z https://hdl.handle.net/2123/25030 Fire Safety and Engineering Project Report Beck, Vaughan; Eaton, Claude; Freeman, Ross; Johnson, Peter; Lacey, Ray; Merewether, Ted; MacLennan, Hamish; Ramsey, Caird; Reddaway, Lawrence; Richardson, John; Thomas, Ian Australia has achieved an excellent fire safety record compared with other countries.

Patterns of demand have changed as new materials have replaced some traditional uses of copper, however copper remains a crucial material for human development. Rapid economic development in the Asian region has required, and will require, substantial volumes of copper. Many of the issues discussed in this report are highly interdependent. Though tempting, it is unhelpful to treat each issue independently and assume the outcome is the sum of each part. 2016-01-01T00:00:00Z https://hdl.handle.net/2123/24317 Zero Emission Copper Mine of the Future Sykes, Clare; Brinson, Ashley; Tanudisastro, Guy; Jimenez, Maria; Djohari, Joshua This ‘world first’ roadmap, commissioned by the International Copper Association Australia (ICAA), identifies five key target areas for technological innovation to reduce and ultimately eliminate mining emissions: exploration, movement of materials, ventilation, processing, and water use. The range of technologies copper supports is vast: autonomous drones and robot machinery, next generation sensors, Mixed Reality (immersive technology), wearable tech, in-situ ore recovery, novel leaching processes and on demand ventilation are just some examples. Achieving cutting edge innovation will also depend on collaboration across five strategic levers: policy and programs, industry networks, capital enablers, future knowledge and an open mindset. The report was researched and compiled by The Warren Centre and was funded by the International Copper Association Australia. It includes insights on how to achieve direct emissions reduction at mining and smelting sites from leading industry experts with first–hand experience of the practical challenges faced by industry. 2020-01-01T00:00:00Z https://hdl.handle.net/2123/23546 Fire Safety Engineering: The Final Report 8 of 8 Johnson, Peter; Lange, David; Torero, Jose; Brinson, Ashley; Foley, Marianne The Final Report develops a pragmatic plan on a transition from the current state of fire safety engineering and design in Australia, which differs across states and territories in relation to regulation, registration, and other practice controls, to the required regulatory, education, accreditation and registration state which will ensure a full and proper profession for fire safety engineers. 2020-01-01T00:00:00Z https://hdl.handle.net/2123/23547 Fire Safety Engineering: Comparison of FSE Guidance Documents and Assessment Criteria Special Report Brinson, Ashley; Johnson, Peter; Kip, Stephen; Torero, Jose; Lange, David; Salomonsson, Tobias The Comparison of FSE Guidance Documents and Assessment Criteria Report provides a review of four guidance documents for fire safety engineering to determine their suitability for use in Australia.
