Means of Escape Assessment Procedure for Hospital’s Building in Malaysiatheijes
Fire safety is important specifically in hospital’s building. Evacuation during hospital fire is a complex phenomenon due to restriction of the movement capability of the patient. This paper explored the criteria and attributes for identifying the current fire safety conditions in a hospital’s building. All design criteria were extracted from the past literature as well as relevant acts to produce observational instrument. Preliminary survey (observation) done by inspection to the building and was carried out with officer from the hospital’s building. The observational instrument was analyses using qualitative method. The results found that only one out of three hospital’s building allocate the refuge area in the hospital’s building. Other than that, the recommendations has been generalized which could help in improving the safety level of means of escape in hospital’s building.

This article presents a design appraisal for the construction of a water off-take channel following Construction
Design and Management regulations (CDM). Furthermore, a case study to pump water from River Tay near the
village of Luncarty requires the construction of a water off-take channel (abstraction channel). An initial section plan of water abstraction scheme has been conducted. The design will be reviewed by taking into consideration the main concerns regarding Health and Safety concerning Construction Design and Management Regulations (CDM) 2007 and its amendments in 2015. Mostly, the greatest attention will be given to the construction stage of the project where these concerns will be questioned in terms if they can be catered for in designing the water take-off channel.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Planning
PROVIDING FOR
PERSONS WITH
HANDICAPPING
CONDITIONS
Starting with the preliminary
design stage, consideration
shall be given to the needs of
persons with handicapping
conditions who may be using
the building. The building should
be designed so that they have
easy access to it, and so that,
once inside, they can move
about and use the facilities as
readily as those without
handicaps.
14. Part II
Materials
GENERAL
a. Selection of all materials and finishes shall be made
with consideration for assuring fire safe conditions,
life-cycle costs, recyclability, economical and efficient
operation and maintenance, and consideration of
favorable fire insurance rates.
b. b. Materials shall be selected and specified with the
specific goal of promoting health and safety for
building occupants. Consideration must be given to
choose materials proven to have low emissions of
volatile organic compounds and limited production of
particulate matter over their projected life-cycle.
15. Part II
Materials
INTERIOR FINISH
a. Interior finishes are materials applied directly to walls,
fixed or movable partitions, ceilings, and exposed interior
surfaces of a building, etc., as well as the exposed finish
of construction materials. Such finishes may provide
decorative treatments and visual environment (see Part
III-V), sound control (see Part III- Acoustic Environment
requirements), thermal insulation (see S207), and
sanitation. In all cases, interior finishes must be selected
to reduce contribution to propagation of fire.
19. PART III ENVIRONMENT
GENERAL
a. Although focused on teaching and learning, education must also address the
need to maintain a safe, secure, and healthy school environment. The capacity
of children to learn is impeded if their school environment contains elements
which are hazardous to their health. The State Education Department and
educators throughout the State of New York have a responsibility to assure the
school community and the public that, based on the best available knowledge,
school buildings are safe, healthy, clean and in good repair.
34. PART V MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL PLANNING
GENERAL
a. General Provisions, Section S1 through S13 also apply to this Part.
b. b. A school building must provide for the health, comfort, and safety of children, teachers, and other occupants. No
mechanical equipment or construction materials shall be used, nor any type of construction permitted, which will
endanger the health, safety, or comfort of all occupants in the school building.
c. c. It is strongly recommended that the school board authorize engineering studies of any new building program by an
engineer, in conjunction with the architect, to determine all practical steps that can be taken in the building design to
most efficiently utilize the energy that will be consumed. Selection of equipment, and method of its use, should be
made on a basis of Life - Cycle Costing. Heat recovery systems should be utilized wherever possible. Discretion must
be used in the selection of any mechanical system; the efficient utilization of energy in one particular system may have
complementary, or contradictory, effects on other systems of the same building, and, therefore, require alternative
selections.
d. d. Schools submitting building plans and specifications to the State Education Department for Commissioner's
approval shall not place air intake vents adjacent to school bus loading/unloading areas, loading docks, or air exhaust
vents.
35. PART V MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL PLANNING
AVAILABLE SERVICE
a. At the outset of a building program an investigation must be made with
regard to the available fuels, electrical service, water supply, and sewage
disposal facilities which are available or for which provision will have to
be made.
b. b. The selection of the energy for heating and of heating mediums and
systems must be made with economic considerations for owning and
operation of the systems, as well as for their relative efficient use of
energy.
36. PART V MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL PLANNING
EQUIPMENT IDENTIFICATION
a. All heating, ventilating, air conditioning, and electrical equipment
and their controllers shall be labeled and tagged for quick
identification.
b. b. All piping and valves shall also be marked and identified as to
direction of flows and type of flows within piping in accordance with
American National Standards Institute (ANSI 13.1).
38. PART VI HEATING, VENTILATING, AND AIR-CONDITIONING
REQUIREMENTS
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
a. General Provisions Section S1 through S13 also apply to this Part.
b. b. These standards are performance standards. The Commissioner of Education has been
given wide, discretionary powers in the approval of specifications for heating and ventilating
and air-conditioning. Any type of system which meets these minimum standards will be
considered for approval. However, simplicity of design with detailed attention to the efficient
use of energy, and ease of maintenance, shall be considered which will provide an effective
system at economical cost. Consider the possibility of adding solar heat collectors in the
future.
39. PART VI HEATING, VENTILATING, AND AIR-CONDITIONING
REQUIREMENTS
HEATING S602-1
General
a. All heating and cooling generating equipment, accessories, and controls and their installation
