Title: World War II Fire Safety Propaganda Posters Authors: Anonymous Abstract: This document contains scanned copies of seven different World War II fire safety propaganda posters currently kept at the FRS/BRE Fire Research Archives at The University of Edinburgh. These posters were design and first printed by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) in Boston, Massachusetts, between 1942 and 1944.

Title: Falmability of Christmas Trees Authors: Van Wagner, C. E. Abstract: The flammability of conifers used as Christmas trees depends mainly on the foliar moisture content and also on the crown density. Trees allowed to dry can be ignited with matches when the moisture content falls to about 50 per cent, and will burn with great violence when moisture content falls below 20 per cent. Trees standing in water remain at over 100 per cent moisture content and cannot be ignited with a point source of flame; they will, however, ignite when flame is applied in a ring around the base. Butt immersion was equally effective in reducing hazard for all three species tested: Scots pine, balsam fir, and white spruce. But if the moisture content of the foliage has already dropped below 75 to 85 per cent, the tree will continue to dry even though set in water.

Title: Electrical apparatus for explosive gas atmospheres, Part 4: Method of test for ignition temperature Authors: IEC Technical Committee Abstract: This Recommendation was prepared by IEC Technical Committee No. 31 , Electrical Apparatus for Explosive Atmospheres. It forms one of a series of publications dealing with electrical apparatus for use in explosive gas atmospheres. Some of these publications are concerned with particular techniques. Others, of which this is one, are relevant to all techniques. Description: ERAF: 48432

Title: Code of Practice Safety of Load on Vehicles Authors: Anonymous Abstract: The object of the Code is to provide operators, drivers and loading staff with guidance as to the basic safety principles that must be followed generally, and as to some particular precautions that can be taken to ensure the safe carriage of several of the more common types of load. This Code provides a useful range of information based on recognised proven good practice in this field and has regard particularly to the increasingly higher performance capabilities of modern vehicles.
