Unintentional injuries are the largest source of premature morbidity and mortality and the leading cause of death among adolescents 10-19 years of age. Fatal injury rates of males are twice those of females, and racial disparities in injury are pronounced. Transportation is the largest source of these injuries, principally as drivers and passengers, but also as cyclists and pedestrians. Other major causes involve drowning, poisonings, fires, sports and recreation, and work-related injuries. Implementing known and effective prevention strategies such as using seat belts and bicycle and motorcycle helmets, installing residential smoke alarms, reducing misuse of alcohol, strengthening graduated driver licensing laws, promoting policy change, using safety equipment in sports and leisure, and protecting adolescents at work will all contribute to reducing injuries. The frequency, severity, potential for death and disability, and costs of these injuries, together with the high success potential of prevention strategies, make injury prevention a key public health goal to improve adolescent health in the future.

“…Pada usia ini, kesadaran akan keselamatan kebakaran dapat tertanam dan melekat dalam ingatan anak-anak sehingga mereka dapat menerapkannya tidak hanya di sekolah tetapi juga di rumah. 8 Selain itu, telah lama diketahui bahwa sekolah merupakan target utama program pencegahan dan penanggulangan kebakaran. 9,10 Dalam rangka penanaman kesadaran itu, partisipasi masyarakat merupakan salah satu unsur penting untuk mencegah dan menanggulangi kebakaran.…”

“…Partisipasi masyarakat juga merupakan faktor penentu dalam meningkatkan kesadaran terhadap pencegahan kebakaran dan kecelakaan (injury prevention). 8,10 Selain itu, melalui pengenalan program keselamatan kebakaran diharapkan guru dan para siswa dapat menjadi role model baik di lingkungan sekolah maupun di sekitar tempat tinggal mereka. 8 Upaya untuk pencegahan dan penanggulangan kebakaran telah banyak dilakukan di negara-negara maju seperti Amerika, Australia, dan Selandia Baru, misalnya dengan melaksanakan pelatihan bagi para siswa dan guru SD, partisipasi masyarakat, kewajiban untuk memasang detektor asap, dan latihan evakuasi kebakaran (fire escape plan).…”

AbstrakKebakaran gedung di Indonesia merupakan masalah besar. Untuk mengkaji keselamatan kebakaran, telah dilakukan penelitian kualitatif di sekolahsekolah dasar negeri (SDN) di Daerah Khusus Ibu Kota (DKI) Jakarta. Tiga SDN di Jakarta Selatan (SDN Pondok Labu 11 Pagi, SDN Pondok Labu 12 Pagi, dan SDN Pondok Labu 15 Pagi) dan 2 SDN di Jakarta Timur (SDN Kramat Jati 16 Pagi dan SDN Kramat Jati 18 Pagi) dipilih sebagai sampel secara purposif. Empat komponen keselamatan kebakaran yang diatur regulasi (sarana proteksi kebakaran, akses mobil pemadam kebakaran, sarana penyelamatan jiwa, dan Manajemen Keselamatan Kebakaran Gedung (MKKG) dikaji secara kualitiatif dengan mewawancarai orangorang yang bertanggung jawab dan mengamati semua komponen keselamatan kebakaran. Ditemukan bahwa di semua SDN tidak ada sarana proteksi kebakaran seperti alat pemadam api ringan (APAR) dan hidran serta tidak ada sarana penyelamatan jiwa termasuk nomor telepon darurat, tempat berhimpun sementara, lampu darurat, dan petunjuk arah keluar. Namun, ada 3 SDN (SDN Pondok Labu 11 Pagi, SDN Kramat Jati 16 Pagi, dan SDN Kramat Jati 18 Pagi) yang memiliki akes jalan mobil pemadam kebakaran ke sekolah, tetapi semua SDN hanya memiliki 2-4 pintu keluar. MKKG belum dilaksanakan di semua SDN. Disimpulkan bahwa keselamatan kebakaran di sekolah-sekolah dasar sangat buruk karena hampir semua komponen keselatan kebakaran belum diimplementasikan.Kata kunci: Keselamatan kebakaran sekolah, keselamatan dan kesehatan sekolah, sekolah dasar Abstract Fire on building is a major problem in Indonesia. To assess fire safety, a qualitative research has been conducted in elementary schools in DKI Jakarta. Three state elementary schools (SDNs) in South Jakarta (i.e. SDN Pondok Labu 11 Pagi, SDN Pondok Labu 12 Pagi, and SDN Pondok Labu 15 Pagi) and two SDNs in East Jakarta (i.e. SDN Kramat Jati 16 Pagi and SDN Kramat Jati 18 Pagi) were selected purposively as samples. Four regulated fire safety components (i.e. fire protection system, fire truck access, life safety system, and Building Fire Safety Management) were assessed qualitatively by interviewing responsible persons and observing all fire safety components. It was found that in all the SDNs there were no fire protection system such as portable fire extinguisher and hydrant available and no life safety system has been implemented including emergency phone number, assembly point, emergency lamp, as well as safety signs. However, there were three SDNs (i.e. SDN Pondok Labu 11 Pagi, SDN Kramat Jati 16 Pagi, and SDN Kramat Jati 18 Pagi) had fire truck access to schools, but all SDNs had only 2 to 4 exit doors. In all SDNs, Building Fire Safety Management has not been implemented. It is concluded that the fire safety in elementary schools was very bad as almost all the four components of the fire safety have not been completely implemented.

Preventing accidental residential fires: the role of human involvement in non‐injury house fires

2016

SUMMARYResearch to date has focused on causal descriptions of residential fire fatalities and injuries, with an emphasis on ignition factor. This paper examines if, how and why human actions or inactions lead to accidental residential fires and identifies the risk factors most closely associated with those fires caused by human unsafe behaviours. Interviews of 182 people who had survived accidental residential fires without serious injury were conducted. Each fire was classified as either of the following: (1) directly caused by human unsafe behaviours; (2) directly caused by human long-term inactions; or (3) involved no human actions. Frequencies and odds ratio values were presented. Slightly less than half (46%) of the non-injury fires were directly caused by human unsafe behaviours, 40% involved no human actions and 14% were associated with long-term human inactions. Examination of the fires caused by human unsafe behaviours compared with no human involvement using odds ratios showed that individuals in the former group were significantly more likely to be mentally ill, physically disabled, asleep, not in full-time paid employment and more intimate with ignition. Many non-injury fires do not directly arise from unsafe activity, and most of them were caused by electrical or ignition system failure. New design innovations and/or improvements in appliances may reduce those fires due to appliance maintenance negligence or electrical faults. Identification of the most high-risk individuals for unsafe behaviours can help inform fire safety educational programmes. Copyright
