Fire Safety Evaluation Frame Work for Existing Plastic Factory Buildings in Nigeria
There are many studies conducted in evaluating fire safety of different building occupancies. The evaluation techniques contributed immensely in providing better understanding of fire risk in buildings, thereby recommending measures to be taken in preventing loss of lives and properties. However, the development of some of these assessment methods was based on regulations of fire safety criteria and attributes in codes and standards for a specific type of occupancies. Thus representing and suiting the features of a particular country for which the assessment methods were made. This paper proposes an assessment framework for fire safety in Plastic factory buildings in Nigeria. The criteria and attributes of fire safety were extracted from the literature and their corresponding requirements base on codes and standards. A questionnaire was also administered during the pilot survey to (n=9) fire safety experts to rank the fire safety criteria and attributes, according to the level of their importance, using analytical hierarchy process(AHP) judgment scale. Expert choice 11 software was used in the analysis. The assessment framework for fire safety in plastic factory was proposed based on the experts’ judgment, for the fire safety criteria and attributes and their requirements in codes and standards.
