responsibility to their employees and local residents to maintain safety as having a commitment to shareholders and other stakeholders (Lockton, 2003, Webley, 1999). General safety is an issue for all
industries, but it may be argued that fire is of particular interest to industries deal with flammable materials. For a gas plant there is the need to be fully aware
of the risks of fire, how and why they can occur and the use of safety measures to minimise the risk and deal with the risk if it becomes a
reality. This paper will look at the root causes of fires, how they occur and then consider the management of the risk in gas plants. When we consider the inherent
risk and increased risk as a result of security concerns and terrorists the need to be aware of fire risks is further enhanced. 2. Root Causes of Fires. For
a fire to occur there needs to be an ignition point which, with gases will result in explosions. We will consider the causes of fire classified by the different types
of explosion that can occur. Due to the nature of gas many fires will result in some type of explosion so we need to consider the causes and how to
deal with these potential events. There are three basic types of explosion, the first ids the result of a detonation of a device or spark causing an explosion, usually
with a shock wave, the second type of potential explosion is where there is a vapour cloud or dust cloud that is either in a non confined space or in
a partially confined space (Haines, 1995). The last type of potential explosion is due to a sudden rupture of a container that is held under pressure (Haines, 1995). In
