Fire safety in public and commercial places: What measures should be considered?

Imen Datis Asia » articles » Fire safety in public and commercial places: What measures should be considered?

Public and commercial spaces, including stores, shopping malls, hospitals, and office buildings, are at risk from fire due to the high traffic and variety of equipment. A fire in such spaces can quickly turn into a disaster, causing irreparable loss of life and property. Therefore, fire safety measures in these spaces are more than a legal requirement, a moral responsibility, and a business necessity. In this article, we will comprehensively review the necessary measures for fire prevention and preparedness in these spaces.

Fire Prevention

The most effective way to deal with fire is to prevent it from happening. These measures focus on identifying and eliminating sources of danger.

Electrical Equipment Maintenance: One of the most common causes of fires is faulty electrical systems. Worn wiring, overloaded circuits, and the use of substandard equipment can all lead to sparks and fires. Periodic inspections by electricians are essential to ensure that equipment is functioning properly and that substandard extension cords are not used.
Flammable materials management: Flammable materials such as paper, cardboard, chemical liquids, and waste must be stored properly and in designated locations. Exit routes and public spaces must always be free of any obstructions and flammable materials. Also, in industrial environments, safe storage of hazardous chemicals and equipment is a necessity.
Safety training and culture: Employees are the first line of defense against fire. Regular training for employees, understanding potential hazards, and informing them about how to use fire extinguishers and the location of fire alarm buttons creates a strong safety culture in the workplace.

Fire Alarm & Suppression Systems

These systems act as the backbone of fire safety and take action quickly in the event of a fire.

Smart Fire Alarm Systems: A modern, addressable fire alarm system not only detects the presence of smoke or heat, but also pinpoints the exact location of the fire. This information helps firefighters respond quickly and effectively. In addition, loud sirens and flashing lights help people quickly become aware of the danger and take the necessary action.
Automatic fire extinguishing systems: Fire extinguishing systems such as sprinklers, gas and powder systems, suppress fires automatically and without the need for human intervention. The choice of the type of fire extinguishing system should be based on the type of use of the environment and the nature of the materials contained therein. For example, in data centers, the use of clean gas systems that do not damage electronic equipment is essential.
Hand-held fire extinguishers: Fire extinguishers should be installed in designated, accessible locations and in sufficient numbers. Training employees on how to use them correctly will greatly help contain the fire in the early stages.

Crisis Management & Preparedness

Even with all the preventive measures, preparation for a crisis is essential.

Emergency exit routes: All exit routes should be clearly marked with standard signs. These routes should always be clean, well-lit, and unobstructed. Also, emergency exit doors should be easy to open and unlocked.
Conducting evacuation drills: Conducting periodic evacuation drills helps employees and people in the building become familiar with exit routes and assembly points. These drills should be conducted regularly and according to fire department standards.
Safety equipment and maps: It is essential to have safety maps and exit routes on all floors of a building, especially in places where people are unfamiliar with the environment (such as hotels or shopping malls). It is also vital to ensure that equipment such as emergency lights, ventilation systems, and fire pumps are in place.

Legal responsibilities and standards

استانداردها و گواهی‌نامه‌ها: تمامی تجهیزات اعلام و اطفای حریق باید با استانداردهای بین‌المللی معتبر مانند NFPA، UL، FM یا EN تطابق داشته باشند. این استانداردها، تضمین‌کننده کیفیت و عملکرد سیستم‌ها هستند.
Fire Department Approvals: The design and installation of fire alarm and suppression systems must be carried out by licensed companies with final approval from the fire department. These approvals ensure that your system complies with national and local regulations.

Ultimately, fire safety in public and commercial spaces is an ongoing process that requires a combination of advanced technology, ongoing training, and organizational commitment. By investing wisely in this area, we can best protect lives and valuable assets and create a safe environment for everyone.
