To this end, he copied the submitted reports by each of the three partners in workpackage 3. There have no changes made to the submitted contents of the documents. WP task 3.1 provides the relevant links for all SafeT partners to the results of EU-research programme Fire in Tunnels (FIT). These links are provided by SiTu. SiTu is a partner who is involved in both FIT and SafeT. All the SafeT partners could use these FIT results for their activities in SafeT. The FIT results have been assessed and the report indicates why which FIT results are relevant for which SafeT purposes. As will be clear from this description, this workpackage does not results in proposals for EU guideliens. The appendices are the links to the FIT database on www and therefore not incoporated in this report. WP task 3.2 assesses the possibilities of computer supported training tools for tunnel intervention management. EBSCC conducted the assessment and was involved in an earlier EU research project that involved a computer supported training tool for rescue personnel. Based upon the assessment of three existing computer supported training tools for rescue personnel, the critical succes items of these training tools have been revealed. Seven guidelines are proposed for member states in case they intend to deal with computer supported training of rescue personnel with regard to tunnel intervention management. WP task 3.3 assesses the typical intervention issues in case of cross border or transboundary tunnels. Nibra conducted the assessment and was involved in various tunnel safety studies in which emergency response aspects were of primary importance. Based upon tunnel accidents, literature study and the study of existing (cross border) tunnel safety procedures, intervention barrieres because of the cross border aspects were derived. Fourteen guidelines dealing with intervention management are proposed for member states that inhabite cross border tunnels. 5 Task 3.1: Overview of FIT products relevant for the development of fire guidelines for tunnels (SiTu) Executive Summary The report gives an overview of the data bases and reports produced by the thematic network Fire in Tunnels (FIT) that are relevant to SafeT. This should ensure that no duplication of work is made and that all information developed in FIT is used as input to the documentation prepared in SafeT. 6 Contents WP 3.1 1.

Introduction to FIT network The objective of report 3.1 is to present a collection of data form the FIT web page relevant for the preparation of guidelines. The relationship of the document to the SafeT objectives is to ensure that work
