“…When inspecting the safety and access of the buildings, the buildings are tested with their potential threats to the user's health and safety. The tests include the strength of carrying capacity of the structural load to resist in case of fire (Roslan & Said, 2017), the availability of fire extinguishers, access to self-rescue, climate risk, and financial risk. Fire disaster is still the problem in Indonesia.…”

Modern and cultural heritage buildings’ safety is mandatory. The damage they suffered, especially the heritage buildings, requires the owners and managers to further improve the supervision of the safety aspects. This study aims to identify, assess, and respond to the safety risk of the heritage buildings. This research was conducted in Jakarta utilizing interviews and questionnaires to identify the risks. Experts and other respondents were deliberately chosen were chosen according to their experience. The risks were analyzed by the probability and weight matrices. This study reveals three high risks and provides the solution to reduce the risk. In addition to academic benefits, the findings are beneficial for the owners and suggest the government carry out risk management.

“…While most of the responses for Fire Safety Practices seem to be high among the workers, there is still the chance to improve the quality of electrical units and cables to effectively check fire in hotel environments. (Hassanain, Al-Harogi, et al, 2022;Ivanov, Chow, Yue, Tsang, & Peng, 2022;Roslan & Said, 2017). According to the finding, most hotels have fire sprinklers, emergency exits, assembly (Muster) points, emergency procedures, and telephone numbers; suitable fire extinguishers are in place, and associated pumps are in good shape and up-to-date.…”

Recent findings indicate Nigeria is among the top countries with devastating consequences of fire incidences. The volatile position of Port-Harcourt as an oil-producing capital city is seen as one of the reasons why fire disasters occur in hotels, among other high rises institutional building structures. This study, therefore, explored the factors responsible for the high incidences of fires in Port-Harcourt, Nigeria. As phenomenological research involving humans, a 5-point Likert scale cross-sectional questionnaire survey instruments were developed using online Google forms to evaluate people's awareness, identify the material factors that promote fire incidents, and assess the present policy and standards to control fire incidents. The ordinal scaled data collected from 108 respondents were tested to be reliable with a Cronbach alpha of 0.958 using the SPSS Statistic software and further analyzed using the Structural Equation Modelling approach. Results show that hotel workers in Port-Harcourt are aware of fire safety management issues, though periodic retraining is required as new technologies evolve. Safety standards are also relatively maintained in the placement of equipment power points, extinguishers, and emergency controls. However, the significant causes of the fire were attributed to electrical and mechanical devices installed and utilized on the hotel premises. While the study calls for the installation of high-quality equipment in hotels, more inquiry is needed to check the reliability of individual equipment. A framework was finally conceptualized for further research and replicating the study in other contexts. This study's findings are essential to hotel entrepreneurs and managers, fire experts, building designers, and researchers.

“…Studied had revealed that many fire incidence occurs in an office building (Rahadi, 2015). The effect of the incidents on Nigeria's economic from both financial and public image viewpoints could be considerable (Roslan, 2017). These incidents happen particularly among the occupants and visitors to buildings, while they visit or carrying out their daily activities.…”

ffice buildings are generally known to have high-rise of fire due to its complexity, combustible materials, and its economic value. The primary aim of this study is to investigate the fire safety protection and prevention system installed in six randomly selected office buildings. The method adopted in achieving the study objective includes literature review, interview, and physical inspection/observation. Thus, a multiattribute evaluation approach was adopted to establish adequate, inadequate, and no fire safety systems, used the pre-designed checklist from NFPA, 2008, NBC, 2006, and NFSC, 2013. The analysis of the result shows that some of the fire safety systems are mainly provided in the buildings. Thus, inadequate maintenance affect their performance greatly; the result shows that fire extinguisher has the highest performance among the fire safety system provided with 66.6% of the buildings have adequate, good working condition, properly position, etc., while 33.4% of the building does not have adequate fire extinguisher in term of performance, are not maintenance the system display lack in term of total compliance to the standard fire regulation. The results of the other systems were as follows: place of safety (33.4%); inadequate, (66.4%) no fire safety system, (0.00%) adequate, Escape Stair (0.00%), adequate, (33.4%) inadequate, (66.6%), no fire safety system, Fire Door (17%) adequate, (83%) inadequate (0.00%) no fire safety system, Travel distance (0.00%) adequate, (83%) inadequate, (17%) no fire system, Emergency lighting (0.00%) adequate, (100%) inadequate, (0.00%) no fire safety system, Fire Alarm (16.6%) adequate (66.6%) inadequate, (16.6%) no fire safety system. The firefighters access (0.00%) adequate, (100%) inadequate, (0.00%) no fire safety system, Artificial lighting (17%) adequate, (83%) inadequate and (0.00%) no fire safety system. Judging from the findings, the study recommended that, regular maintenance of fire safety system should be done to enhance effective functionality of the systems, effective fire safety management system should be developed to enhance continuous functions of the installed system and construction of any office building should be made to comply strictly with existing fire safety regulation, standard, and code.
