Abstract:
Background and Objectives
Beyond being very valuable assets, hospitals are symbols of health and societal well-being. Destruction of a hospital or damage due to fire may result in a loss of trust by local authorities as well as injuries for patients and staff and will not allow provision of health care services. This study aimed at assessing fire quantify risk assessment and the effect of crisis management team on fire risk.
Methods
This study was a descriptive analytically study. At first, according to fire risk assessment method for engineering (FRAME), fire risk was calculated for 15 hospital wards and then, the crisis management team was formed and trained, and the effects of fire risk were calculated. Data were analyzed by SPSS 20 software at a significant level of P < 0.05 with the Wilcoxon test.
Results
Overall, 13.33% of the risk was for buildings (mean = 0.57 and SD = 0.51), 100% of the risk was for individuals (mean = 4.60 and SD = 2.37), and 53.33% of the risk was for activities (mean = 1.81 and SD = 1.56), which were greater than one (unfavorable). An effective crisis management team reduces fire risk by an average of 31.4%.
Conclusions
Due to the poor state of fire safety in all hospitals studied in the research, organizing a crisis management team in each hospital can reduce fire risk by a relatively large amount.
