The hospital environment is a mixture of multiple risks that occur in different parts of the hospital, such as physical, chemical, or biological hazards [1]. There are many causes of fire accidents in hospitals, so it is necessary to provide multiple means to preserve the lives of patients and employers in hospitals [2]. Fires occur in hospitals for different reasons, which depend on the type of materials and different equipment that contribute to the occurrence of a fire disaster.

The study analyzed the current situation of public hospitals in the capital of Baghdad exclusively and diagnosed the resources available; especially after the high demand for these hospitals as a result of the citizen’s need to review the hospital to take care of them, especially after the Corona pandemic. Eight major hospitals in Baghdad were selected to determine the current reality of providing fire safety tools or equipment and what are the preventive measures needed to reduce it. The results after practical study showed many defects and weaknesses in the current situation due to their reliance on the traditional management to manage and provide all preventive measures and safety tools, which was also confirmed by the results of the field survey that indicated a large gap and absence of an internal protection system against fire accidents. The study concludes by suggesting basic alternatives to improve the safety of hospital buildings, including improving system evaluation, establishing a management system for firefighting equipment, periodic monitoring and accident analysis, and establishing a reliability management system for safety training. The study recommends to activating a new management system to improve the current utilization in Iraqi public hospitals.
