Tieling Container Temporary House

Tieling container temporary houses are temporary buildings transformed from containers, offering convenience but also posing fire safety hazards. Strict adherence to safety regulations is required during use.

Characteristics of Tieling Container Temporary Houses

Container temporary houses in Tieling are usually transformed from shipping containers, resembling containers in shape and also known as container houses or residential containers. They are environmentally friendly, energy-efficient, flexible in combination, and easy to disassemble and transport. They are commonly used as workers' dormitories on construction sites, as well as for field operations, offices, and temporary buildings at tourist attractions.

Existing Fire Safety Hazards

• Illegal construction materials: To save costs, some temporary houses on construction sites and illegal buildings of some enterprises often use flammable materials such as polystyrene and polyurethane foam for the core materials. These materials have poor fire resistance and safety, and can be ignited by electrical welding sparks and cigarette butts.
• Rapid combustion: Once flammable and combustible sandwich materials catch fire, they will melt and deform at 80℃ and drip, causing more serious combustion. The combustion products are highly toxic.
• Difficult firefighting: After a fire breaks out, the flames spread rapidly and are prone to collapse in a short time. The collapsed container houses are wrapped in iron sheets, making it difficult for firefighting water guns to shoot water inside and increasing the difficulty of firefighting and rescue.
• Difficult escape for trapped people: When polystyrene and polyurethane burn, they produce thick black smoke. Toxic smoke accumulates inside the rooms, making it difficult for trapped people to escape and prone to casualties.

Safety Use Recommendations

• Material selection: It is best to use rock wool boards or fireproof cotton as fillers for production, achieving an A-level fire resistance rating or above to meet fire safety requirements.
• Standardized use of heat and fire sources: Heat and fire sources should not be placed close to container houses. Open-flame operations should maintain a certain distance.
• Electrical wiring safety: Wires and cables should be protected with sleeves. Socket and switch boxes should be made of metal galvanized boxes and installed in an exposed manner. Simple firefighting equipment should be provided inside and outside.
• Maintain a safe distance: Container houses should maintain a safe distance of at least 6 meters from each other.
