Floor plans

Record potential pollutant sources in the building. Note the locations of major sources. Major sources such as large items of equipment can be recorded on the floor plan. Record the names and locations of chemicals or hazardous substances used or stored within the building, such as those that may be contained in cleaning materials, biocides, paints, caulks, and adhesives. Ask your suppliers to provide you with Material Safety Data Sheets. You may be unaware of the potential hazards... 

Identify known HVAC zones and complaint areas Begin to identify potential sources and pollutants (e.g., special use areas near the complaint location). Having a copy of mechanical and floor plans can be helpful at this stage, especially if they are reasonably up-to-date.

The creation of gi aphics can be menu-driven, often utilizing a building floor plan or system schematic to display the collected data. The floor plan is first drawn by the customer, and then variables, such as current room temperature, are superimposed. 

A woman with a Vuitton bag drank beer from a bottle. Her companion, wearing his camel-cashmere topcoat, drank Guinness on draft.They were talking about dream real estate, which is what men and women discuss in mixed company today. If you re not in mixed company, you talk about men or women. A martini in a moisturized hand passed my ear periodically as the woman behind me retrieved and sipped and returned her glass to the bar as she went over a floor plan and prospectus with her companion.

Those elements of conventional laboratory design that must be refined for facilities in which toxic chemicals will be handled are presented. Alarms, communications, construction materials, containment cabinets, filter systems, floor plans, security, compressed gases, and waste disposal are discussed. Emphasis is given to design considerations dictated by the use of large numbers of fume hoods.

Five weeks air survey was conducted to determine the air quality at the clinic. The reception area has a lower bioaerosol loading of 300-800 CFU/m3 owing to better airflow and open floor plan. The doctor s consultation room displays 2-to-3 times higher amount of airborne bioaerosol (i.e., 600-1400 CFU/m3) due to poor air ventilation. The airflow is roughly 0.1 m3/s, giving an overall air... 

Portable fire extinguishers should be shown in their proposed locations on process unit or area plot plans and on building floor plans. A list of the extinguishers and their locations should be made for inspection and maintenance purposes. 

The accommodation and the environmental conditions in the laboratory must fulfil certain requirements. Such requirements have to be described in the quality manual. Usually the rooms are listed and a floor plan is added. 

Preparation In preparing for an audit, all data and documentation for the study are assembled for the inspectors to view (Figure 8.3). The study director, or other designated technical contact, should review the files and prepare to answer any questions. The master schedule and all files assembled by the quality assurance unit should be reviewed. An agenda, a work space, and a test facility floor plan should be prepared for the inspectors. The staff should be fully briefed and prepared for the visit.

Most written exams simply test basic skills and aptitudes how well you understand what you read, your ability to follow directions, your judgment and reasoning skills, your ability to read and understand maps and floor plans, and sometimes your memory or your math skills. In this preliminary written exam, you may... 

Firefighters have to be able to read, understand, and act on complex written materials—not only fire law and fire procedures, but also scientific materials about fire, combustible materials, and chemicals. They have to be able to think clearly and independently because lives depend on decisions they make in a split second. They have to be able to do enough math to read and understand pressure gauges, or estimate the height of a building and the amount of hose needed to reach the third floor. They have to be able to read maps and floor plans so they can get to the emergency site quickly or find their way to an exit even in a smoke-filled building. 

Firefighter exams include two kinds of memory and observation sections questions based on a drawing of a fire scene, and questions based on a floor plan or similar kind of diagram. 

Similarly, you may be presented with a diagram of a floor plan of a building, perhaps filled with smoke. Again, this is a test of your ability to remember details. As mentioned in Chapter 11, Spatial Relations, the ability of a firefighter to read a floor plan is crucial, as you may someday find yourself making your way through hallways and rooms filled with smoke. When presented with a floor plan, you will want to note the location of potential hazards and dead ends you may be asked the placement of exits or smoke alarms or where to position a ladder for rescue. 

At the end of this chapter, you will find a floor plan and several questions about it that you can use to practice. 

Below is a floor plan like those found on some firefighter exams. Following the floor plan are several questions asking about details of the floor plan. Use this diagram to practice your memory skills. Take five minutes to study the diagram, and then answer the... 

Firefighter exams often inciude questions that test your ability to read maps, floor plans, and pictures. This chapter shows you how to tackle such questions on spatial relationships. 

The store directory has just presented you with a typical spatial relations question. Spatial relations is the ability to visualize in three dimensions. As the store directory example suggests, everyone needs to be able to translate a two-dimensional representation into a three-dimensional sense of where they are and where they want to go. But this ability is particularly important for firefighters, who must read maps and floor plans to get to the people who need their help.
