Os sistemas de combate à incêndio e suas aplicaçõies no meio marítimo

Abstract

Since it was created, IMO seeks improvements to the work on board to make it as ergonomic as possible, and the SOLAS convention is one of the tools used for this. Although laws and regulations, as well as IMO itself, have been created and developed through accidents and negative situations, the focus is the safety of people. And the main influence of the SOLAS convention is the standardization, which is a fundamental element since it guarantees the effectiveness of the actions that will be taken by the people and the expected positive results. In chapter II of the SOLAS convention can be found the standardizations related to the fire fighting system. And from the reading of a detailed study on the on-board fire-fighting system and its applications, found in this work, one can understand the importance that this system has for the safety of human life on board.
