Type: article
Abstract: Fire is a serious risk that can cause great losses, both moral and material. This study evaluates fire prevention and control at PC. GKBI Medari, which recently experienced a major fire due to lack of fire detection. Using the AS/NZS 4360: 2004 method, nine hazards with high, medium, and low risks were found. In the underground area of the cambric factory, there are deficiencies in the existing fire extinguishing system, especially in dealing with invisible fires. Hot and dirty air is sucked and channelled through PVC ducts to the air filter, but this system is not effective in extinguishing fires. This study recommends the installation of water spray at several underground points to improve fire protection.
