Courtney Cook Carignan:
We are conducting a study investigating the efficacy of different types of pit cubes against the revised TB117-2013 smolder standard. Our goal is to identify a preferred solution for maintaining/improving fire safety in gyms while reducing gymnast exposure to flame retardants. Prototype testing will take place at Worcester Polytechnic Instituteās Fire Protection Engineering Laboratory. Results will be shared with gym owners, fire marshals, industry, gymnasts, coaches and parents.
