介绍如何最大限度地降低发生意外火灾的可能性，以及如何设计、检查和维护消防系统。它强调有必要培训消防人员，进行例行演习，并制定安全疏散的方法和程序。本出版物中讨论的消防系统旨在为初期火灾提供早期响应，以防止其蔓延。本出版物适用于固定式开放式海上生产平台，这些平台通常安装在温和气候条件下，并具有足够的自然通风，以尽量减少蒸汽的积聚。通常安装在该类型平台上的封闭区域，如宿舍楼和设备外壳，将予以说明。

Presents recommendations for minimizing the likelihood of having an accidental fire, and for designing, inspecting, and maintaining fire control systems. It emphasizes the need to train personnel in fire fighting, to conduct routine drills, and to establish methods and procedures for safe evacuation. The fire control systems discussed in this publication are intended to provide an early response to incipient fires to prevent their growth. This publication is applicable to fixed open-type offshore production platforms which are generally installed in moderate climates and which have sufficient natural ventilation to minimize the accumulation of vapors. Enclosed areas, such as quarters buildings and equipment enclosures, normally installed on this type platform, are addressed.
