Smt Rita Menon Chairperson & Managing Director India Trade Promotion Organisation

ndia Trade promotion Organisation is organizing the 17th edition of India International Security Expo at Pragati Maidan, New Delhi from September 25-28, 2014. I am glad to share that this fair for the last 3 years has achieved phenomenal growth and become a major attraction for all police officers and other stakeholders like books, hotels, malls, educational institutions, refineries etc., from across the country. This is the only event being organized by a Government agency to showcase the latest trends in homeland security, fire safety, disaster management, border surveillance and riot control equipments. This year lot of stress is being laid by Central Government on concept of ‘smart cities’, safe and secure cities and surveillance across the country. The economic development of the country is directly proportional to the security and stability of the nation. Our security agencies are playing a very vital role in combating cross border terrorism, internal strifes, management of law and order and prevention and detection of crime. We at ITPO are making this endeavour every year to keep them abreast with the latest technology in the field of security.

I would like to thank CISF, SPGI, Ministry of Home Affairs and PHD Chamber of Commerce who are helping us in successful organization of this expo this year, too with their dedicated and committed support.

The aim of this Expo is to contribute to the government’s endeavour in modernizing the Central and State police forces to combat the growing menace of terror and anti social activities being experienced all over the world. Our aim is to showcase the latest equipments available in the Indian and global market before end users of security equipments and to help growth of indigenous industry. There cannot be a better venue where manufacturers, importers and suppliers of various equipments can converge under one roof and interact face to face with police officers from States and Central police organizations, specialized security agencies like NSG, SPG and officers of fire services and disaster management. On display will be latest equipments of non lethal weapons, surveillance cameras, radio communications, access control, protective gears and various gadgets which can help to secure hotels, malls, hospitals, schools, colleges, houses and residential localities.

Since 2012 this Expo has been continuously registering growth both in terms of visitors and participants so also in quality and quantum of exhibits.

This reflects upon both the popularity and usefulness of this exhibition to the industry and end users of these products. I am confident that the passion with which team ITPO and our associates from CISF, SPGI and other agencies are committed to the growth of this Expo, this would soon be the only exposition which will attract the best exhibitors and the buyers not only from India but even neighbouring countries. I would like to express my sincere thanks to all exhibitors, associates and visitors for this dedicated and loyal support to this show. I am glad to reiterate that this Expo is for the industry, by the industry and of the industry with commitment of ITPO to promote self reliance in the field of security industry and fulfill the dream of “Make in India”.

I extend my compliments to the organisers and good wishes to the exhibitors in the success of this expo.

Our co-organiser, Central Industrial Security Force and Security Prmotion Group of India who had joined hands with ITPO during the previous edition last year, have continued their unstinted support to this exhibition.

The expo also enjoys the support of the Ministry of Home Affairs, Paramilitary Forces, State Police Forces. NDMA, BPRD, Delhi Fire Services and Special Forces like NSG and NDRF. I am sure that the Expo will soon reach new height of achievement.

As the Government of India is commited to modernize the Central and State Police Forces to address and counter the perennial threat of terror and disruptive activities, the expo aims to bring the providers of security solutions and end users together at one platform to promote business interactions, collaborations, technology transfer and need-based technology.

IISE is today one of the biggest security show in India both in terms of participation as well as visitorship, the oldest and biggest by a Government agency. This year, the Security Expo will showcase the latest technology and range of gadgets, equipments and systems in the field of access control, surveillance, perimeter security, detection and disposal of explosives, fire safety non-lethal weapons, radio communications, disaster management, blast and ballistic protection gears.

Shri Vikram Sahgal DIG Police & General Manager (Security) India Trade Promotion Organisation

am extremely happy to share with you all that the 17th edition of India International Security Expo is being held at Pragati Maidan, New Delhi from September 25-28, 2014. It is the result of passion, zeal and determination of team ITPO and SPGI which has resulted in phenomenal growth of this expo over the last 3 years. Today this expo has become the oldest and the largest showcase of latest advancements in the field of security, fire safety and disaster management.

This growth is solely attributed to the commitment of ITPO in promoting the Indian trade and self reliance in the field of security, while it is extremely difficult for our manufacturers, importers and integrators to move with their equipments to various locations and far flung areas for demonstrations.

It is equally difficult for senior police officers to look for latest technology at different places. Through this expo we strive to provide under one roof a platform for suppliers and end users of security systems to interact face to face and understand requirements and limitations of each other and achieve their respective aims.

While SPGI is fully committed to growth of their industry we at ITPO are committed in providing the most economical and cost effective platform for showcasing the goods and services. We have continuously strived hard to provide the state of art infrastructure with ambiance and facilities of international fairs to attract the best exhibitors and maximum visitors. It is the result of our dedication which has resulted in phenomenal growth of this fair. I am sure the endeavours of SPGI and team ITPO will very soon make this expo truly a global expo. I take this opportunity to wish SPGI, our exhibitors and visitors all success in this expo.

Check-in for A+A 2015: Exhibitor registrations are increasing at a steady rate – This year’s partner country: South Korea Call for papers in progress for A+A Congress The planning for A+A 2015 in Düsseldorf, the leading international event in personal protection and occupational health, safety and security (trade fair & convention, 27-30 October 2015) is now moving ahead at a good pace.

The starting shot has been fired for exhibitors to check in. Registrations will be accepted until 30 November – the date when layout planning is due to start, based on the space that has been booked and on the thematic structure of the event.

“The last A+A attracted a record number of 63,500 trade visitors from nearly 70 countries, impressively establishing A+A as the number one tradeshow on occupational health and safety. This figure helped to convince the majority of A+A 2013 exhibitors to signal their interest in the 2015 event straightaway,” says Birgit Horn, Director of A+A at Messe Düsseldorf. She reached her conclusion after many conversations with exhibitors and believes that her positive estimate has been confirmed by the registrations received up to now. Exhibitors can easily register online via the following links: http://www.AplusA.de/1330 (in German) or http://www.AplusA.de/2330 (in English).

As well as registering under specific thematic areas – Personal Protection, Corporate Security and Occupational Health – exhibitors can attract additional attention by participating in a range of theme parks and special presentation platforms

that will form part of the tradeshow.

These will include the A+A Fashion Show (on corporate fashion), the Safety & Security Innovation Park (innovative products and solutions in industrial and occupational safety), a special show entitled Workplace Design (innovations in workplace design and in office & production ergonomics), the Corporate Health Plaza (special area for occupational health promoters) and the Occupational Health and Safety Meeting Point (special show presented by members of Basi, the Federal Association for Occupational Safety and Health, and its national and international partners).

Programme priorities at the A+A Congress As before, Basi’s A+A Congress will be a major element on the programme of A+A 2015. Papers have now been called for (online at http://www. basi.de). Basi is inviting corporate players, social service providers, research organisations, associations and institutions to contribute talks to the A+A Congress. The submission deadline is 31 October 2014.

The following thematic areas will be prioritised at the Congress: • Workplace analysis & design • Hazards and strains in the workplace environment • Technology and preventative healthcare • Mental and physical health at work • Strategies, skills and professions in workplace design • Social and socio-political developments and debates

It will be the Republic of Korea (South Korea). An agreement to this effect has been concluded between Messe Düsseldorf and KOSHA (Korea Occupational Safety & Health Agency).

“24 million employees, highly developed industrial processes and the endeavour to obtain the best possible competitive edge and productivity in all sectors of the economy – these are signs of an attractive market for suppliers of personal protection products and solutions in matters of occupational health and safety,” says Joachim Schäfer, Managing Director of Messe Düsseldorf, as he explains why his Group and the A+A Advisory Board chose South Korea for 2015.

A+A is held in Düsseldorf at twoyear intervals. A+A 2013 was attended by just over 1,600 exhibitors from 55 nations – more than ever before in the history of this event. They represented the entire bandwidth of products and services in personal protection, occupational health and safety and in the realisation of trouble-free operational routines.

Dates of the next A+A: 27 to 30 October 2015

The partner country: South Korea A decision has now been taken on the partner country for A+A 2015 in Düsseldorf, the leading international event in personal protection and occupational health, safety & security (trade fair & convention, 27-30 October 2015).

No downtime, no incidents – safe and secure all the time.

Investment in safety and security pays off every single day.

Answers for infrastructure and cities.

Protecting personnel and investments, minimizing downtime and malfunctions, largely preventing business interruptions – these are corporate objectives that figure at the top of management's priorities. They are supported to the utmost extent in this by intelligent buildings and by Siemens. We incorporate our specific industrial know-how and our many years of experience with large projects worldwide in research and development for new solutions, systems and products.

We already combine fire safety and security systems with voice-controlled evacuation systems, extinguishing and emergency lighting, as well as building management systems.

This results in all-embracing security concepts based on the latest information technology. They ensure that the users and occupants of buildings feel thoroughly safe and comfortable, and can concentrate fully on their core activities. And this pays off day after day.

Hikvision’s fisheye camera wins new product of the year award

H

ikvision USA, North America’s leading manufacturer of awardwinning video surveillance products & solutions, is thrilled to announce that its 3MP 360 Fisheye Camera (DS-2CD6332FWD-I(S)(V)) has been declared New Product of the Year by Security Products magazine in the IP Camera Wide Dynamic Range category. This honor attests to Hikvision’s unparalleled dedication to research and development of cutting-edge technology.

“This year was by far the most exciting New Products competition we’ve ever had,” said Ralph C. Jensen, editor in chief of Security Products.

“Technology still reigns as the order of the day in the security industry.”

With technology that stands out from its competitors, Hikvision

was the first to offer a true 30 FPS fisheye view in full resolution. Hikvision incorporated unique WDR algorithms to provide industry-leading 120dB of dynamic range processing, as well as an IR cut-filter and IR LEDs to ensure full 360 degree IR illumination and imaging down to 0 lux.

The camera’s 1/1.8” progressive scan CMOS sensor provides highresolution images of up to 3072 x 2048. Integrated IR allows for even disbursement over the entire image, eliminating hot spots. In fact, IR functionality provides up to 50 feet of visibility in low- or zero-light conditions.

“We are excited to be recognized again as a leader in the video surveillance industry,” noted Bob Germain, Senior Product Leader of Hikvision USA. “As we strive to bring innovative products to the marketplace, our focus remains on combining technological advances with cost-efficient solutions for a broad range of vertical markets. This award highlights our dedication to pushing the envelope on video technology.”

HS-/BHS-Series Handheld thermal imaging cameras

HS-/BHS-Series are handheld shockresistant thermal imaging cameras. The HS-Series are monoculars, the BHS-Series Bi-oculars.

They produce a crisp image in the darkest of nights, and unlike other technologies, thermal imaging needs no light whatsoever to produce a clear image.

Thanks to the HS-/BHS-Series, security can see suspects in total darkness, through light fog and smoke, and light foliage.

FLIR HS-Series

The HS-/BHS-Series are excellent tools for everyone that needs to see what’s happening in total darkness, in all weather conditions, and without being seen themselves.

A security sizzler from zicom!

Zicom rolls out spiffy 4.3 Inch color video door phone

T

he sound of a doorbell has never been music to the ears of its residents. In fact, it is a disturbance, diversion, distraction and at times a plain nuisance that makes you yell, “To hell with the doorbell”.

On Sundays it could be twice that number. Each time it heightens your anxiety, causes cardiac arrhythmia, increases your blood pressure, defocuses your attention and derails your concentration on other work. In these days of spurt in theft, robbery, burglary and gangrelated violence, you don’t know whether the visitor to your house is genuine or not. Your watchman can’t question every visitor.

But you don’t have to panic. Just relax!

Zicom has come out with a 4.3 in (10.22cm) color video door phone to save you and safeguard your household members and articles.

It has oodles of useful features that make your life safe, secure and comfortable.

Key Features, Utility & Benefits • Zicom’s color VDP with two way audio communication allows its users to view and communicate with the visitor without opening the door. It is a great boon particularly for the kids and the elderly parents when they are alone. The sleek 4.3 inch color VDP

comes in 4 different models with night vision night illumination source, clear speaker system, hands-free handset, camera, door bell, and remote unlock facility which amply provide comfort and convenience to the users to clearly identify the visitor and speak to him/her from inside the home and open the door only if they want.

• As the camera operates on a lower voltage you can have less power consumption. Plus its indoor units are wall mountable and therefore require no stands. It is extremely user-friendly and even your children can confidently handle it. It can be integrated with any house security system.

• The entire set is affordably priced at @ Rs 7999 With all these rich features Zicom’s new 4.3 color VDP has become an indispensable necessity to insulate and shield yourself and your household members from unwanted visitors and keep the home safe.

“The demand for video door phone has been increasing in India not only in the metros but in the cities as well.

With no effective monitoring of their activities, It was hard to fix the responsibility on a single resource in case of some casualty or theft. Neither there was any check on the driver’s activities. They may script accidents, attacks, or theft.

As a leading global security surveillance player, CP PLUS was aware of the challenges and pain areas for financial institutions while handling in-transit cash & bullions.

The solution was developed to meet the challenges to the Cash-in transit vans. A Security system cannot be fully relied on manual surveillance as it may be subjected to loitering, spoiling and similar manipulations.

CP PLUS solution implements a foolproof system by providing just one gate entry at a time with authorized access control system.

The solution deals with any emergency scenario by raising the

alarm. The Van remains on the control room screen all the time during its journey while on duty.

The solution encompasses dual authentication system, which works in integration with CCTV feeds and go-location on the GPS system.

Yogesh Dutta, CP PLUS India, said, “The monitoring of items and activities in motion and in-transit is more challenging than safeguarding them at a stationery location. It poses more threats when the items to be moved are valuables & bullions (precious metals- Gold, silver, platinum). After incidences of tampering and hijacking Vans in Delhi, the team was much aware of the challenges”.

India is fast becoming a growth center for world economy. Secured atmosphere not only acts as catalyzer for economic growth but also acts as fertilizer to sustain the booming economy. So security industry grows doubly fast in comparison with economy.

Since last 3-4 years Security industry is growing by leaps & bound year by year. Awareness has helped not only to create more secure, automated workplaces, but also created innumerable entrepreneurs in this segment. In spite of its volcanic growth in last few years, it is yet to take giant leap in coming years.

Q. What initiative steps do you expect form government for the betterment of Security industries?

Govt. boost like reduction in tax rates is an urgent need of the hour for this segment, as that would help to make INDIA a better, safer and much more secure place.

Govt. should also work on Security product certification authority like DOT as there is influx of low quality imported products in security industry. This would bring much needed checks and balance, so that clients do not end up compromising with their safety.

Q. What are the challenges that you are currently facing in India?

Security segment in India is still unorganized, scattered and flooded with innumerable brands & micro system integrators. While competing in such unorganized market getting appropriate value for quality products, solutions and efforts at times get difficult. Higher and complex tax structure for security products also adds up to the vows.

Q. What kind of plans and expectations do you have for this segment this year?

Last few years “SECURITY” is seen as topmost concern and priority in everyone’s mind, worldwide. With spreading awareness, we have seen phenomenal growth in this segment in spite of all odds. This year is also not going to be different; we foresee almost 30-40% growth for us in this segment.

Looking at the vast security requirement of the country, it’s true that more efforts are still required to secure the country. Fortunately, the trend and perception are undergoing a change now.

The new government is quite sensitive to the security

needs of the nation as expressed in the first presidential address to the joint session of the parliament and later reflected in the budgetary allocation. The government has even allocated a budget for police reforms and establishing CCTV framework to secure the infrastructure. We hope that the government will execute its plans to implement CCTV to monitor attendance and maintain cleanliness at public spaces.

Q. What is the total size of the Security & Surveillance market in India? To what size do you expect it to grow by 2020?

After the new Government setup, it is difficult to peg security market size to a number as a lot of projects, which could not see the light of the day previously, are expected to come to life, with additional FDI investments expected in the core segments.

However, as per rough estimates, Indian Security industry is expected to grow at least by 15% per year and the figures may crossRs 6000 Crores

by Year 2018.

Q. Would you suggest some change in government policy to help Security and Surveillance business penetration in the country?

No one needs security in the world,

more than what India needs as attributed to our wide geographical, social and demographic status.

However, there has been a lack of government guidelines on threat perception & solutions. The quality benchmarking of the products, skilled manpower, certifications, standard guidelines, minimal Taxation are critical to the long term health of the security industry.

Industry desires a status at par IT industry and should be considered as core. Import duties and VAT structure should be minimized to the lowest slab, to derive the benefit to the larger segment. Let us understand that It’s not a luxury item, but Security is close to all. In th same vein, we expect the Central government to provide a much needed impetus to infrastructure projects and frame policy guidelines to ensure safe and secure life to every human being in the country.

Q. There is an ongoing debate among the stakeholders about increasing FDI cap in defence to 49 or to even100 percent. How do you think it can impact the homeland security business and what could be its repercussions?

The objective of government is to fill the gap between proposed demanded expenditure and actual expenditure currently being done. Homeland security is largely an internal matter of a country. Yet, at various levels of infrastructure development, FDI will largely help and projects and related activities will liven up. We feel that infrastructure development goes hand in hand with security and surveillance business.

Q. The industry is now moving from analogue to IP-based solutions, what do you think could be the opportunities and challenges for customers?

IP based solutions are changing the security sector landscape with the advanced features due to the support

from internet and applications. Also, a synchronized development in the surveillance hardware is opening a plethora of features, like motion detection, remote & wireless tracking, High Quality, scheduling, email/sms notifications, password protection, etc. The major challenges for customers in the use of IP solutions is the availability, continuity and bandwidth of the internet. Irrespective of the time of the transition from Analog to IP, we have introduced HDCVI range that produces HD quality over the traditional analog framework and long distances.

Q. What are the other trends that are gaining popularity in the Indian Security & Surveillance Market?

The features such as HD resolution, remote and wireless accessibility from anywhere, Business Intelligence that can be integrated with the video images, IP and physical access control, email and sms notification an alerts are some common features which are getting popular in India.

Q. What are the most lucrative customer segments in terms of demand for your company?

Since all sectors need security & well aware of the benefits of surveillance, there is not just one segment that can be singled out. Yet, the significant sectors are, Retail, City surveillance, Transport, Hospitality, Infrastructure, Reality, and Banking.

Q. What are your plans for the next 5 years? Is there anything new in the pipeline?

Our focus will be on Channel Community and System Integrator’s training of the products & solutions.

Making India Digital

Mr. Saibal Roy, All India Head Channel Sales, Zicom Q. For “Making India Digital�, how your organization is going to help the country to meet the target?

Q. What are the key challenges you see as the bottleneck for the country to be fully digitized?

The Internet of Things (IOT) has enabled connectivity in a big way.

Every device is now connected with other devices and they are all together linked to the Command Control Center. Zicom is helping this process so that more and more devices become automated and the vast data empower these devices to predict ahead of things that are going to happen.

This in turn makes them more preemptive and preventive rather than simply reactive which was the case hitherto. So, from the security perspective digitization augurs well and Zicom is offering security solutions both directly and indirectly to many of these projects.

Making India Digital is a humongous task and therefore challenges en route are inevitable. Some of the challenges like inadequate infrastructure, lack of education and necessary skill, economic & linguistic barriers are all known bottlenecks.

But the major bottleneck is that everything is implemented at government level and not at the ground level. Even though people are aware that they can play an important role in enhancing from the security standpoint they are not acting swiftly. They know the need but not acting on it. But I do hope that things will improve in the coming years.

Your publication as a media vehicle should be able to identify key trends, provide a platform for sharing information & connect channel partners to service providers & vendors like us.

“The 17th India International Security Expo 2014 would go a long way in enhancing professionalism in the field of security, fire safety, and rescue & disaster management”

A

Mr. Arvind Ranjan, Director General of the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF)

54 |

s you all are aware, 17th India International Security, Expo is being organized by ITPO and Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) at Pragati Maidan, New Delhi from 25th to 28th Sep’ 2014. The present form of this security Expo at ITPO has evolved from the first International Security Exhibition “IND-SECURITY” organized by CISF way back in the year 1987. Over the years, this Expo has become an annual event under the aegis of ITPO with active support and co-operation of CISF. Now, India International Security Expo has earned the reputation of being the “Nation’s largest showcase of goods, products and services related to the security, fire, law enforcement, disaster management and safety industries”.

CISF being a tech savvy force has always been associated with this event and has contributed towards upgrading the technological expertise and generating awareness among managers and professionals in the field of security administration. We must pool our efforts to make the 17th edition of this event as the best ever experience for all who participants and attendees.

I am confident that during this Expo latest technology in , the field of security, law and order, surveillance, intelligence, disaster management, fire prevention, etc. will be showcased by exhibitors from both India and abroad. This Expo becomes more relevant as there is no escaping the use of technology for any operation in a facility. Security has

SEPTEMBER 2014 | INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW

become more and more dependent on effective inputs for decision making from the technology. There is a need for adoption of fast and reliable security systems, capable of generating real time response.

The need of the hour is for adoption and assimilation of appropriate and reliable technologies for operation and facilitation of the police forces and to act as a force multiplier.

This is where this Expo will provide an excellent platform for all the professional of the field.

Further, there is an urgent need for open protocols for seamless integration between various systems and sub-systems like CCTV, Access Control, intrusion Detection & perimeter protection to make the best use of gadgets. Integrated security systems lead to development of symbiotic relationships that enhance the functionality & capability of various sub-systems.

I am particularly hopeful that this Expo will throw up opportunities in utilization of video analytics as a tool for leveraging inputs from surveillance systems and integrating it with the response mechanism.

Special emphasis is required to ensure the success of the systems in Indian conditions of operations. I am also sure that training need of the police forces will also be a focus area of the exhibitors. I would like to suggest a new concept in this forum which will be highly beneficial to the manufactures and end users. Any security gadget has to be fully tried and tested in a given security system

www.ind-safety.com

IISE 2014 CURTAIN RAISER

to assess its efficacy and capability of it being integrated into the security system. At present, the manufacturer move around from place to place/ department to department for doing NCNC trials for the users. Even in this case, the trials are done for specific gadgets only and its capability for integration into the security system remains unverified. Resultantly, the preparation of QRs and Trial Directives takes inordinate time and the procurement and upgradation suffers.

The solution, therefore lies in making a model centre at an operational facility for example - ITPO Campus, where the manufacturers can install their gadgets and equipment on NCNC basis for trial, testing and evaluation for integrating into the security system. ITPO Campus has the advantage of being a CISF Unit and thus, the whole process of evaluation and testing can be done under the supervision of trained

www.ind-safety.com

technical experts. We may also associate members from other CAPFs for trial and testing in due course at ITPO. This will provide an onsite security solution which can be viewed and verified by the clients themselves for its applications in their respective locations. Apart from the government security agencies benefitting from this Expo, I also hope that the benefits will definitely be soaked by the new big player in the security service industry-the private sector.

For them this exhibition is going to be a major opportunity to buttress their resources with the right mix of gadgetry.

In this exhibition, the latest, state-of-art security systems and solutions will be on display.

This would provide a unique opportunity and platform to the security professionals to study and evaluate the products and make an assessment about their applicability in the field. This exhibition will also

facilitate transfer of technology and promotion of joint ventures by providing a common platform for interaction between different participating firms and local enterprises. CISF will put up stall for the consultancy wing in which the services being offered by CISF for security consultancy both for Private and Public Sectors will be made available to the visitors. Our team of experts will be readily available to offer assistance and guidance on any technical matter during the Expo.

The 17th India International Security Expo - 2014 would go a long way in enhancing professionalism in the field of security, fire safety, and rescue & disaster management. On behalf of CISF, I wish this exhibition a grand success in meeting the aspirations of the security professionals, agencies- both governmental and private and also extend a hearty - welcome to all the participants, exhibitors etc.

Hikvision ensures “Fun Safe Philly Summer” for city of Philadelphia

H

ikvision, a leading worldwide provider of video surveillance equipment, teamed up with the City of Philadelphia to ensure success of their “Fun Safe Philly Summer” initiative. The program connects youth and their families to free and lowcost summer activities, including many events at the recreation centers spread throughout the city. With the safety of the community in mind, the city council has pledged significant budget investment to outfit all 140 centers with CCTV by 2016. After careful evaluation of all the products on the market, Hikvision’s highperformance cameras, NVRs, and VMS technology were selected as a cost-effective solution to protect the city with cutting-edge video surveillance.

With over 600 facilities serving thousands of people each year, the Department of Parks and Recreation worked closely with City of Philadelphia Engineer Pedro Pinto to develop a high standard for CCTV design criteria. A primary concern was finding a system that could stay intact as existing infrastructure was gradually

upgraded throughout the city.

“The system needed to be scalable and had to be networked at some point in the future,” explained Sheeba Money, Special Systems Designer at Arora Engineers, Inc., a firm involved with CCTV design for the City of Philadelphia. “With every department of the city operating on a different system, it was crucial to provide a video surveillance solution in the rec centers that could be linked into a central management system.” Because Hikvison’s Video Management Systems easily communicate with each other and with systems made by other manufacturers, the feature-rich, reliable, VMS 4200 was a perfect fit.

The video surveillance systems have been hugely successful in keeping the centers safe. In most cases, the presence of the cameras alone has been enough to prevent crime. Susan Slawson, Deputy Commissioner of Parks and Recreation, noted: “Where we were faced with vandalism, loitering, and burglaries before, the numbers decreased immediately once we outfitted our facilities with cameras.

We don’t just want a ‘fun, safe, Philly summer;’ we want a fun, safe, Philly. With introduction of Hikvision video surveillance equipment, not only are we covering our sites, we can tell what’s going on in the streets and coordinate with the police department if need be,” Commissioner Slawson, herself a 20-year veteran of the Philadelphia Police Department, affirmed. Superior image quality from the Hikvision cameras plays a

SEPTEMBER 2014 | INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW

key role. “We have good video,” Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey confirmed, “that should help us a great deal.”

Fidelity Alarm installed the DS-2CD7254FWD-E 3MP Outdoor Network Camera in several of the rec centers due to the camera’s wide dynamic range and true day/night functionality. “In addition to gathering footage from the immediate vicinity, it captures clear images from as far away as across the street,” explained Pat Phillips, Sales Manager at Fidelity Alarm.

This month’s shooting at the Dell Music Center is a tragic example of criminal activity dealing a blow to the community, but the police had a head start on the investigation due to cameras stationed on the building’s exterior by Fidelity Alarm. Footage was provided to the police and images were released to the public so that the perpetrators could be swiftly identified. Jeffrey He, president of Hikvision USA, remarked, “Hikvision is proud to provide versatile, convenient, and efficient video surveillance solutions to the City of Philadelphia. Hikvision technology protects our society’s most invaluable asset – our young people – in municipalities across the U.S. and Canada. As we continue to rapidly expand, we look forward to bringing even more success stories to the North American market.”

by-day as customers are getting aware about the benefits associated with it.

Customer awareness & government regulations towards maintaining security along with surveillance have always been major growth drivers for this sector. The Government of India is investing heavily in security surveillance due to the string of terrorist bombings & attacks all over India in the past few years. Moreover, India’s transport infrastructure is developing at a fast pace with healthy demand for security surveillance equipment.

The significance of security & surveillance systems have changed over the years as people are realizing the benefits derived from it. India is catching up pace with lots of projects waiting in pipeline. Recent events and terrorist attacks have significantly influenced the way one considers what are adequate levels of security in India, hence pushing demand in Indian market.

Today, a lot of developers too have started incorporating security & surveillance as one of the amenities across various projects. Most of the nationalized banks too are ramping up their security to catch up its pace with the private banks. As one of the leaders in security industry, we see huge potential in the Indian market in coming years.

Our direct presence in the Indian market for sales and support, local presence in different parts of the country, a strong clientele, good market share, better support from our principal, R&D, and excellent support from all our installer in order to get more and more references all affect our business growth.

The increasing awareness and thereby, acceptance of automation as a key player in the manufacturing arena. This in turn is brought about by demand for quality products from the consumer space.

Q. What is your vision for your company for coming year?

CAME vision is to sell quality, We value quality and make it our daily mission & this is our vision. We intend not only to supply best quality products but also to give quality service to our customers.

Q. According to what are the challenges & issues you need to address that are related to your industry?

Despite such a growing market, Indian market is still much unorganized with many traders flooding the market with inferior imported products. In short we lose many cost sensitive customers to these companies. Customers need to be educated so that they can buy the right product for their security needs and get best return on their investment. In addition, government needs to set standards for security devices that can be sold and provide guidelines for import and export of electronic security products. In addition, government needs to create policies to promote local manufacturing of security products.

The campus is one of the most innovative in the country – its careful combination of natural beauty with architectural flair has won many awards, while multi-million pound investment continues to enhance teaching and research facilities.

Catering for every conceivable need, the campus contains a large food shop, newsagent, post office, bank, two launderettes, a pharmacy,

a Waterstone’s bookshop and even a travel agent. There are also plenty of places to eat and drink.

An increasingly busy environment, with potential for further expansion, Jonathan Richardson, UEA’s Assistant Corporate Information Services Director identified the need for a security system capable of scaling up from an initial 30 doors, to handling all 12,000+ doors onsite.

“We also needed a system which would allow us to automate as much as possible”, Richardson explains.

The current system is overseen by just one full time member of staff, however, when specific controlled access is required the decision is delegated to a relevant member of staff in the department in question – access being managed via the university’s identity management system

which then integrates with the Gallagher system automatically Gallagher’s security system was first introduced at UEA in 2002, replacing seven different systems from three separate suppliers. “The Gallagher solution was chosen for its ability to work with existing card production and third party card formats, while utilising the existing cards, door readers and hardware” confirmed Jonathan Richardson.

Continued from page no.70 configurable” Richardson has been impressed by the way Gallagher software has easily adapted to help reach UEA’s aim for fully automated control. Fully integrated with a range of other systems to provide automated access to buildings, Gallagher technology currently controls all types of physical locks, including automatic swing and slide doors, car park barriers, turnstiles and lifts across a wide range of buildings including shops, restaurants, research facilities, student labs, a museum and student residences. The integration of Gallagher’s Command Centre with third party technologies additionally offers time and attendance monitoring, library management, key cabinet systems and wireless locks Expanding on the benefits of the Gallagher system, Jonathan Richardson highlights that “there is now a full audit trail of all access.

When staff or students join they automatically get access to the correct areas – avoiding the need for ad hoc decision making”. The ability to disable cards and run access reports is also advantageous and the university has used this information to support criminal investigations and trace missing people.

The installation has helped UEA significantly improve the site’s security, enabling the University to manage ‘out of hours’ access in a more formal manner. This has seen a

Testimonial “Gallagher has proved to deliver unparalleled level of configurability and reliability which made it ideal for rationalising a series of disparate systems across our 320 acre university campus. The success of Gallagher in centralising access control and reporting has meant the system is being expanded rapidly into both new and refurbished buildings. The import and export facilities have made the system ideal for combining data from a range of student, personnel and accommodation systems.

UEA decided to opt for ongoing Software Maintenance to ensure we remained current with our system – the seven disparate systems that we inherited was a direct result of allowing systems to become outdated.

Door Frame Metal Detectors

A

metal detector is an electronic instrument which detects the presence of metal. Metal detectors are useful for finding metal hidden within objects, or metal objects buried underground. A Door Frame Metal Detector (DFMD) as the name suggests is a metal detector fitted in a door to detect metal that may be hidden on the body of the person passing through this door. This is also known as a “walk through” metal detector. These are used for security screening at access points in prisons, courthouses, and at airports to detect concealed metal weapons on a person’s body.

The simplest form of a metal detector consists of an oscillator producing an alternating current that passes through a coil producing an alternating magnetic field. If a piece of electrically conductive metal is close to the coil, eddy currents

will be induced in the metal, and this produces a magnetic field of its own.

The biggest technical change in detectors was the development of the induction-balance system. This system involves two coils that are electrically balanced. When metal is introduced to their vicinity, they would become unbalanced. What allowed detectors to discriminate between metals was the fact that every metal About Author has a different phase response when exposed Kiron Kunte has over 35 years of design and solutions to alternating current. experience, in Security, Telephony and Networking infrastructure.

Continued from page no.78 the development of the rectangular gantry, now standard at airports.

Both alternating current and pulse systems are used, and the design of the coils and the electronics has moved forward to improve the discrimination of these systems. It is possible to indicate the approximate height of the metal object above the ground, enabling security personnel to more rapidly locate the source of the signal. Smaller hand held metal detectors are then used to locate a metal object on a person more precisely.

DFMD’s are designed for high throughput with fewer unnecessary alarms. Targeted objects, such as guns and knives, are consistently and accurately detected, while personal items such as keys, coins, belt buckles and eyeglasses can pass through without causing an alarm.

DFMD TYPES Door Frame metal detectors (DFMDs) are of two types: • Single zone DFMD • Multi-zone DFMD provide multi zone detection.

A Multi zone DFMD will identify whether the target is on the left side or right side of the person. If an individual walks through the DFMD with a concealed weapon located at their ankles, both the single and multi zone DFMD will locate the target. The difference between the Single

80 |

SEPTEMBER 2014 | INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW

Multi-zone technology discriminates between miniature handguns and harmless objects like keys and coins zone DFMD and Multi-zone DFMD is that the multi zone detector will be able to identify the location of the target, on either the left or right side of the individual.

Multi-zone DFMD’s deploy ‘Continuous Wave Multiple Sensor Measurement Technique’ over the commonly used ‘Pulse Induction method’. This increases screening efficiency and cuts operating costs.

Multiple zones of detection allow the exact location of concealed weapons to be pinpointed. A display shows if a weapon is located on the left, right or centre of the person being screened and if it is at ankle, knee, waist, chest or head height.

If more than one weapon is being carried each is detected and its location shown. During an ensuing manual search, security personnel can immediately target the object, or objects, that created the alarm(s.).

An important feature of horizontal multiple zone technology is its ability to efficiently discriminate between miniature handguns and harmless objects.

People being screened can pass through the detector without the inconvenience of having to empty their pockets of normal amounts of keys and coins. Weapons manufactured from steel, various grades of stainless steel, aluminium, zinc alloys and mixed alloys are

detected using a single operating mode.

The technology offers excellent electrical interference rejection, thus eradicating false alarms that halt traffic flows. The equipment is also continuously active, which means that weapons or contraband cannot be passed, slid or tossed through the detector undetected.

Enhanced Features.

Traffic Counters: DFMD’s are now built with intelligent and virtually invisible traffic counters which are integrated inside the coil panels.

Counters are bi-directional with a decrease mode. Alarms, people and alarm rates can all be counted.

Remote security management: DFMD data can now be viewed at the desktop. It enables monitoring of passenger information, passenger data collection and processing with versatile reporting tools, as well as monitoring and management of all parameters of the DFMD. Collect Statistics: Statistics can be summarized, shared by email and printed in easy-to-read reports.

Monitors Passenger Flow: Authorized personnel can view the traffic and alarm levels of the DFMD’s that are connected to the network. The view gives you a quick overall look of lines with high traffic, helping one to better deploy resources.

Monitors Security: Whenr there is a deviation from the original settings stored in the PC, the operator

receives an alert. This feature quickly indicates any misuse or malfunctions of the DFMD and increases the overall security level.

different regions of the detection field. The detection response from a particular metal object will vary as it is carried through different sectors of the gate.

Other Applications.

Most DFMD’s have phase sensitive detection circuits, that allow the user to enhance the sensitivity for certain group of metals and reduce it for others. DFMD’s are designed to detect both Ferrous & Non Ferrous Metals. With higher sensitivity they can be used in the Jewellery manufacturing units to protect against pilferage.

High Sensitivity DFMD’s are designed specifically for detecting small ferrous and non-ferrous items, such as disposable prison razors, a piece of razor blade, metal shanks, handcuff keys, detonator caps, jewellery, coins, microprocessor and memory chips. Use of such DFMD’s increases safety in prisons and jails by efficiently detecting small metal objects that can be used as weapons, even when they are hidden in body cavities. They are also deployed in manufacturing and distribution facilities to protect small, valuable assets.

Factors to consider when evaluating a DFMD. Uniform Detection: It is important to select a detector that gives uniform detection throughout the entire interrogation region. The detection response from a poorly designed conventional detector will not be linear. High sensitivity hot spots and low sensitivity regions known as dead spots may be present within

Electrical and electromagnetic interference: They can play havoc with their performance and often render them unusable. Interference rejection is what separates quality detectors from others. Quality detectors utilize highly efficient noise inhibition software algorithms. Noise originates from a variety of sources; flickering fluorescent light tubes, computer monitors, photocopiers, two-way radios, etc. The level of ambient noise will vary from location to location. It is advisable to test the DFMD in the location where it will eventually be installed.

Continuously active detection: Always select a detector that is continuously active. At no time should the detection circuitry be deactivated. Under no circumstances should a non-continuously active DFMD be installed in an unmanned automatic entry door system.

Metal types: screening and the detector of efficiently of metals in program.

By incorporating HID Global’s networked access solutions with system software, the central station administrator can now perform all execution commands, including tracking and changing security levels and access rights, as well as data backup and report generation. The system can also collect cardholders’ entry records and other information, including the employee number, name, department and title for time and attendance purposes.

HID Global’s iCLASS® R10 readers that support the existing MiFARE® credentials are installed at each access point. All students and staff now present their MiFARE cards to verify their identity at the entry points. Additionally, the security administrator can grant facility access to authorized staff during specified hours for effective facility management.

Lecture rooms: Access rights are granted according to the faculty teaching schedule.

Patrol system: iCLASS® R10 readers work as patrol points, where the security administrator can assign specific guards to present their cards at designated readers. Security patrols are performed after the use of laboratories or lecture rooms, during non-office hours and to conduct random security checks of the hazardous materials storage rooms.

The patrol staff is required to check in at designated location and time to ensure these areas are secured.

The new system seamlessly integrates with video surveillance and fire alarm systems. The CCTV captures the image of the patrolling guard after the patrol guard has presented their card to the reader.

In case of a door being forced open, tamper alarm or unauthorized entries, the system can determine the incident type & indicate the door location at the central station. The system can also unlock emergency doors for evacuation in the case of a fire.

Results Office building areas: During office hours, the doors are accessible to all staff members; authorized staff must present their access cards for identity verification and facility access at any other time.

Laboratories and hazardous materials storage rooms: Advanced reservations are required for use of these areas. The administrator at the central station is able to grant access to authorized staff at specific times according to the reservations records.

This can prevent accidents and damage to lab equipment caused by unauthorized access.

everything in the Performance Buildings grid.” said Dr. Vishal Mallick, CEO of Performance Buildings, “A strong identity management governance structure was required from Design Offices to facilitate a seamless experience for their existing tenants and clients using the facilities ‘on-demand’, including the ability to book rooms and catering services online, open conference room doors, and sign out once their session is over. It was important to offer a wide menu of services to enhance the way we do business.”

“We’re not just offering rooms, we’re offering end-users of the office space – tenants or temporary ‘on-demand’ end-users of the office space, a secure environment where they can work, meet, hold conferences and provide training sessions in a location where they feel comfortable, and for us, which includes offering all the technological solutions they need in today’s modern world,” said Phill Handy, Managing Director from Design Offices. “So, for example, we wanted to be able to offer 24-hour access to rooms, automated check-in and check-out services but without having to provide staff or all the paper-based procedures,” Handy explained.

“We also wanted people to be able to book rooms on the move, so it was critical that easy-to-use online options were available.” This broad range of functionality and flexibility supported by HID Global’s solutions allowed Performance Buildings to offer a comprehensive service that catered for different user needs as well as multiple application requirements.

Results With a robust system that powered Design Offices’ shared workspaces, Performance Buildings reported that it had seen a return on investment (ROI) within six-months

of their deployment in Munich and improved efficiencies thereafter. As the company continues to expand, the use of HID Global solutions will continue to broaden.

The solution has also enabled Performance Buildings to accelerate the on-boarding of four new deployments in different German locations, as it has been able to utilize the experience and expertise gained from this implementation. This has resulted in cost and time efficiencies.

“We were curious about how a large, global company would deal with a small, developing company like us but we were thrilled that HID Global responded quickly and provided us with the level of support and consultation that we needed to progress,” said Dr. Vishal Mallick.

Design Offices is delighted with the results. “Using HID Global’s solutions in conjunction with Performance Buildings’ technology is all part of our future expansion plans,” said Handy. “We’re going to take their combined solutions with us when we move to Dusseldorf, Berlin and Hamburg and we’re doing this because it allows us to be more efficient while providing our clients – existing tenants or temporary clients ‘on-demand’ with the security, privacy and ease of use that they’ve been looking for.”

“Our end users who are renting our office spaces love it. It’s easy to use, and allows them to use the online booking system from the road and come to the offices with their PIN code to access meeting rooms whenever they want – they love the flexibility and security,” added Handy. “And we love it because we don’t have to supply staff 24 hours nor all the paper-based checking-in and checking-out, so feedback has been fantastic. For us, this is a confirmation that this is the right product for our different types of clients.”

o provide safety and comforts to large numbers of people the architectural designs have got to be safe and realistic from every angle.The fire Safety management System for High-rise building begin with selection of site, design, construction of material & supervision, use of fire retardant plumbing & piping, sealing of unseal openings, use of fire retardant fabrics for interior decoration, emergency evacuation plan which includes escape route, refuge area, emergency illumination, smoke management system, Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning system, identification and arrangements for Positive pressure zone to avoid spread of fire, hazards identification and layers of protection analysis, installation of fire detection and alarm system, fail proof communication system, installation of portable and fixed fire protection system and storage &water supply for firefighting system.

Performance Based Fire Safety Design: Fire containment is the basic aim of building fire safety through passive and active fire safety measures. The building design is embodied in National Building Code 1983(Revised 2005 part – 4) and international building code NFPA 101, UK approved document “B�, Japanese Building Safety Law & National building code of Australia.

In spite of the fact these regulations have played vital role in raising the level of fire safety in the buildings the provisions are considered exorbitant and incur high cost.

Further, these fire safety provisions are not quantified to determine the level of fire safety that is achieved in the buildings & what level of fire safety must be attained. They do not explicitly state what their objectives are or how they are derived. It is very difficult to justify the equivalency of other fire safety measures &provision.

An innovative fire safety solution in the developing world is achieved with the performance based building design. Performance based approach is more likely to be useful for large and complicated building where the prescriptive approach does not offer the requisite design flexibility

Performance based approach: The use of an alternative solution allows the Fire Safety Engineers to design the building using fire engineering rather than relying on prescriptive rules.

Some codes contain performance requirements and but fire safety engineer can put forward alternative solutions to satisfy the requisite standard or even better solution.

Incase if the building does not comply with the regulatory fire safety provisions, performance based design could find other appropriate and convenient option.Fire engineering relies on the principles of fire science, human behavior and risk management. The key component of performance based approach consists of design fire safety criteria and fire models. The objective of fire safety planning is specified and fire models can be established for a predetermined condition for design of fire.

The prescribed technical standards are taken into consideration for the conformity whether the desired level of the fire safety engineer or designer to think through the issue of Fire ignition growth and spread,

location of people in the building and their state, how people will become aware of a fire and what they might do, how quickly occupants escape, development of fire, generation of smoke & spread of smoke, effect of smoke and fire on occupants and Behavior of building material in fire.

The advantages of performance based approach in design of building construction are: Allowance of use of alternative materials, forms of construction or designs to the present prescriptive requirements, Innovative use of materials, forms of construction or designs, Flexibility in the use of materials, forms of construction or design, modified based design approach for a particular building and Cost effective.

Australian performance based building code: The performance based fire safety design is highly regarded and used in Australia developed in the year 1996. The BCA includes several technical requirement of building construction with performance factors 1. Aspire : To safe guard occupants, property and neighbors 2. Well-designed: To meet the expectation of community 3. Performance: To meet the suitable layer of protection by building materials , components, design factor and construction method to meet pertinent efficient statement 4. Building key: To develop a building solution to achieve the performance requirements two methods can be followed as deemed to satisfy provisions and alternativesolutions Assessment methods: Expert opinion, Verification method, Documentary evidence comparison with a deemed

Application of software modules: The advantage of these software modules are toensure life safety of occupants by creating simulation based study for clear understanding and action plan for smoke management, compartmentation, egress plan and firefighting operation & building structure stability due to heat radiation impact. These software are the back bone of performance based fire safety design.

The modules are ie CFAST, PIPA shell shepherd, ALHO, FAST, FIREWIND, FDS, CFX, JASMINE, SMARFIRE. Egress modules determine the time required for occupants to evacuate the building and mapped with Zone modules to calculate safe evacuation time.

Design Objective: The FSEB objectives are to review the architectural concept design, identify potential fire hazards and define the fire safety problems in qualitative terms suitable for detailed analysis Acceptance / Performance criteria The performance / acceptance criteria may include threshold values for the temperature of materials gas temperature, car boxy hemoglobin level, smoke obstruction and thermal exposure level.

Time Line Analysis for Life and property Safety: All Fire safety design are based on Time- line as ignition, time of detection, occupant response time, occupants coping time, occupant movement time to a place of safety, required safe evacuation time, available safe evacuation time, fire brigade intervention and structural stability or failure.

Required Safe Evacuation Time(RESET): Involves the charactertics of the building population & their ability to recognize an emergency and to respond to that emergency to a place of safety. It consists the time of detection,occupant’s pre-movement

time, and occupant’s movement time.

The few methods are used for calculation RESET are hand calculation, Mathematical formula and egress simulation computer models.

Fire Brigade Intervention Model: This software guide the emergency response team to calculate the time that indicates the period in which the fire brigade is likely to be arriving at the site, setting – up equipment and carrying out search and rescue activities in the building and initiating fire attack. Fire fighter intervention time is based on two response scenarios first is expected intervention time and delayed intervention time.

Intervention time is calculated only for the purpose of providing an acceptable environment for fire fighter to attack a fire from within the building.

Available Safe Evacuation Time (ASET): Is the time when design fire commences to affects the building population & the building structure.

The acceptance criteria identified in the FSEB are used as the basis to identify the time at which tenability commences to occurred. The methods are used to identify ASET hand calculations, Mathematical formula, Zone models, field models. ASET must be greater than RESET basically ASET is the time taken to fill the compartment with smoke and RESET is the time taken for occupants to escape from the building Safety factor: ASET/RSET- Uncertainty is relative to the unpredictable nature of fire and the number, state and location of building occupants at the time of the worst credible fire scenario.

The safety factor must be greater than 1. Although a safety factor of at least 1.5 is based on sound engineering practice taking of uncertainty, safety factors for occupants and fire fighter are mutually agreed.

Construction of building: The design of the building and type of materials used in its construction are important factors in making the building resistant

to a complete burnout and preventing the rapid spread of fire, smoke or fumes, which may otherwise contribute to the loss of lives and property which in turn bear direct relationship with the escape routes under specified time.

Building contents: In storage of similar design & dimension, noncombustible material for example , may sometimes be stored in one building and combustible materials as paints and associated products in the building

Building occupancy: Population Density: Number of persons the compartment, story or room is designed, number of bed spaces for which the flat is designed and number obtained by dividing the area in M2 of the compartment story or room by the occupant load.

Population distribution: Parts of a building are open to public function; rooms& part of building remain closed for public sleeping accommodation Population Mobility: Occupants Young, old, infirm, disabled, hospitalized or physically challenged personnel and protected escape route is a necessity.

Population reaction: Greatest danger arise in panic, Orderly evacuation is done by familiar people, In hotels, hospitals familiarity is less so more care is necessary.

Time for Evacuation: This is the time taken by a person to go from any occupied part of the building to a place of safety time of evacuation should be as less as possible and escape rote should be a short as possible because more evacuation time may lead to panic. The building with few floor evacuate 2 to 3 minutes.

Travel distance: it is defined as the distance from the remotest point on a floor of building to a place of safety which could be a vertical exit, horizontal

Emergency lighting: Primary function of an emergency light is to provide illumination to enable occupants to move around or to carry prescribed functions within the building without any interruption. It should come under automatic operation within 10 seconds during any interruption of normal lighting system. The duration of supply of emergency light shall be 30 minutes to four hours depending on height of the building.

Online monitoring of HVAC system and inspection & audits & preventive maintenance ofelectrical cables, wiring and equipments: Electrical short circuit, overheating and mechanical failure of electrical equipment are the main cause of fire incidents. These can be controlled by using online monitoring of HVAC system maintenance and healthiness & half yearly thermography of electrical cables annual inspection and use of Fire Resistant Low Smoke cables to minimize the generation of toxic gases and smoke in case of fire.

Smoke Management: Smoke and toxic gas is the main culprit of more than 70 % of death in fire incident , which can be avoided by implementing good design of smoke management system through building design stage.

There are three techniquesfor smoke management - natural ventilation, mechanical ventilation and pressurization.The causing smoke movements within building are buoyancy of the smoke plume, stack effect, direction and velocity of the prevailing word

and mechanical air movement system.

Passive fire protection system: The provision of fire compartmentation and other passive measures of fire resistance will ensure that fire will not spread to other compartments within a given period thus allowing occupants to leave. The fire retardant paints and barriers control the generation of smoke and toxic gases and maintain the good visibility to emergency response team as well as occupants for fast &safe evacuation from building.

Selection & Use of flame retardant fabrics for interior decoration: It is good option to select FRP or less combustible fabrics for interior decoration to restrict the spread of fire and minimize the smoke generation.

Exit: An exit may be door way, corridor, passage way to an internal staircase or external staircase or to averandah or terrace which have access to the street or to the roof of a building or a refuge area, an exit may also include a horizontal exit leading to an adjoining at the same level.

Heaven or refuge area: It is an area where occupants take shelter for certain duration depends on the fire rating 1 to 4 hours with lifesaving and communication arrangements for occupants till the emergency rescue services arrive to rescue them at each floor of high-rise building or interconnecting building.

Collapsible bridges and escape chutes for emergency escape of occupants: Innovation is required at the design stage for provision of collapsible bridges between two adjoining high
