Oil & Gas UK Fire and Explosion Guidance Issue 2 2018

This document sets out guidance and good practice for designing against fire and explosions on offshore installations. The guidance focuses on setting a philosophy for design and assessment in a realistic and accessible manner. In doing this, it provides a rational and pragmatic foundation to support design decisions, allowing the basis of such decisions to be understood and justified.
Topics addressed include fire and explosion hazard types, fire and explosion management, the derivation of fire loadings, heat transfer and explosion loads and the response of equipment and systems to fires and explosions.
This document was developed by the Fire and Explosion Working Group of the Oil & Gas UK (OGUK) Major Hazards Management Technical Group. This guidance supersedes the OGUK ‘Fire and Explosion Guidance’ – Issue 1 [1].
