Fire Safety Management Evaluation Model for Existing Plastic Factory Buildings in Nigeria
Most of the Global fire incidents occurred as a result of failure in fire safety management (FSM), which considered as the most important aspect of fire safety. Several evaluation/risk assessment techniques for fire safety have been developed over time. Despite the application of this techniques and procedures there is still increase in fire disasters which portrayed the failure of FSM. This paper proposes FSM evaluation model for existing plastic factory buildings in Nigeria. Ten categories of FSM were adopted from the literature which further arranged to form criteria. Analytical hierarchy process (AHP) concept was utilized to rank the criteria of FSM base on their level of importance. Questionnaire was administered to (n=15) fire safety experts with experience in fire FSM. The data was analysed using Expert choice software. The assessment model was proposed base on the experts’ judgment. Physical inspection was then carried out at an existing plastic factory to test the model. The result suggests that there is high potential risk of fire as a result of poor FSM.
