Welcome to the Chair of Chemical Safety and Fire Defense
By ‘chemical safety and fire defense’ we mean …
all operational measures that interrupt or delay unintended chemical reactions and prevent them from spreading. The aim is to minimise the impact on people, animals, the environment and, in particular, buildings. Care is taken to ensure that any damage caused by these measures is avoided.
