Transport for NSW fire life safety standards are crucial for ensuring the safety of passengers, workers, and infrastructure in various public transportation systems for heavy rail, metro, light rail, road, and maritime assets. The Transport fire life safety series of standards focus on key principles that govern the whole of life application of design, implementation, operation and maintenance along with end of life disposal of assets both in fixed assets and conveyance assets. These standards are built on the principles of:
- Protecting Lives
- Minimising Property Damage
- Ensuring Regulatory Compliance
- Enhancing Public Confidence
- Reducing Operational Disruptions
- Improving Emergency Preparedness
- Mitigating Environmental Impact
During this presentation, a brief overview will be provided on requirements nominated within the Transport fire life safety suite of standards, how the standards are structured and the interdependencies of these standards with other standards and fire engineering process that are to be used by the engineering design organisations and contractors for delivery of fire safety systems within the Transport for NSW environment.
