TAS Part I12 Premises for manufacture or processing of glass reinforced plasticsTAS Part I12 Premises for manufacture or processing of glass reinforced plastics
Introduction to this Part
This Part contains additional requirements for premises used for the manufacture or processing of glass reinforced plastics.
Deemed-to-Satisfy Provisions
- provide for the safety and comfort or workers; and
- be constructed in a manner that will avoid the spread of fire within the building and to other buildings.
Application of Part
A building for the manufacture or processing of glass reinforced plastics must be—
- separated from other buildings or parts of an occupancy by means of impervious walls with FRL at least 120/120/120; or
- separated from all other buildings by a clear space of not less than 6 m.
Separation from other buildings
The building must be of single storey construction.
Rise in storeys
The floor area of any building or fire-separated section must not exceed the relevant maximum floor area set out in Table TAS I12D4.
Type A building construction | Type B building construction | Type C building construction |
---|---|---|
Not sprinklered: 1500 m2 | Not sprinklered: 1200 m2 | Not sprinklered: 1000 m2 |
Sprinklered: 6000 m2 | Sprinklered: 5000 m2 | Sprinklered: 3000 m2 |
Maximum floor areas
Required exits
The walls and floors of areas to be used for hand laminating and spray depositing must be constructed of non-combustible materials.
Hand laminating and spray depositing
- produce a negative pressure within any exhaust ducting within the work place so that a leak in the ducting will not vent exhaust air back in to the work place; and
- vent the exhaust air to the atmosphere so as to prevent recirculation of that exhaust air.
Ventilation
Each fire-separated section must be provided with automatic smoke and heat roof vents.
