...Quezon City PERFORMANCE OF THE BUREAU OF FIRE PROTECTION (BFP): CONTRIBUTIONS TO FIRE MANAGEMENT A proposal submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for PA 199.2 By: Nheo Cervantes Geofel Soriano Adviser: Vicente Mariano September 27, 2011 I. Introduction Fires are one of the few calamities of which we can prevent. Besides the efforts of the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP), and the passing of the Revised Fire Code or RA 9514 in 2008, fires are still one of the leading man-made disasters in the Philippines. In 2011, there had already been several fires like the incident last February 7 which left 3000 families homeless. Other than that, most establishments, most notably in Baguio, are fire safety violators (Dar, 2011). These incidents bring into question the effectiveness of the actions and programs of the BFP in terms of their response to fire emergencies. Because of this, the group decided to make a study that would assess the effectiveness of the BFP's response methods, campaigns and projects, and would try to come up with proposals that would increase the effectiveness of fire management in the country. II. The Problem The research problem of the group would focus on the Bureau of Fire Protection’s response to fire incidences in a specific area. Ideally, the BFP should be able to effectively respond to fire emergencies within five (5) minutes which would lead to faster suppression of fire incidences. But in actuality, the BFP is...

...Thesis Title: Fire Hazards in Dhaka City: An Exploratory Study Introduction Whereas, Dhaka, the capital city of Bangladesh has grown up haphazardly since the period of liberation creating the embryo of fire hazard and resulting into death, injuries as well as property damage. In fact, fire incidents have been recognized significant cause behind the greatest loss of life and property in Dhaka city. At present, Dhaka city is crowded with estimated population of more than 15 million people (Source: wikipedia), making one of the largest cities in the world having population density of 45,000/km2 or 115,200/sq mile (Source: wikipedia). With the passage of time, this ratio of density is ever increasing. Due to climate change issue, rural people are migrating to Dhaka city with an expectation of having least required livelihood. To meet up the need for habitation of these migrated people, more and more slums are being established without following any rules and plans. Unplanned city growth has also lead to the development of congested and unhealthy slums that are generally built with flammable materials. As a result, in the event of a fire, the fire spreads very rapidly causing great damage. There are many people in the city who lack knowledge about the safety or precautionary measures one should take to prevent a fire incident at their home or workplace. In addition, not many people also have proper knowledge or training about the preventive measures that the community should take...

...Unit 27: Understanding Health and Safety in the Business Workplace Unit code: H/502/5458 QCF Level 3: BTEC National Credit value: 10 Guided learning hours: 60 Aim and purpose The aim of this unit is to enable learners to develop knowledge of the legislation and regulations relating to health and safety in a business workplace in order to conduct an audit and carry out a risk assessment. Unit introduction It is important, when working in business, to ensure compliance with organisational procedures and legal requirements, as the consequences of non-compliance can have serious implications for employees and employers. It is important, therefore, for learners to appreciate that those working in business must understand the principal issues which affect the working environment, for all individuals and the organisations that employ them. This involves keeping up to date with information on the legal issues that affect safe working practices. Everyone at work plays an important part in ensuring health and safety and it is essential that key personnel are aware of their roles and responsibilities. Employers must take reasonable care to protect their employees, and others, from the risk of injury, disease or death, while employees must take care to protect themselves and others. Safe working conditions and the ‘welfare of employees’ can contribute to the success of an organisation. It is important that organisations take steps to prevent accidents...

...Unit 27 – P1 Explain the legal requirements for ensuring the H&S and security of those employed Introduction- in this report i will be explaining the legal requirements for ensuring the health, safety and security of those employed at Washwood heath Academy. Legislation: On estimate there are around 1.6 million accidents each year in the work place with a cost to British industry of around £700m. This may seem like a large number of accidents but compared to many other countries the safety record of workers in Britain is good. The reason for this is that we have a strong set of laws passed by parliament and the European Union that aim to protect employees.

Now, employees have more rights and responsibilities and the emphasis has shifted so that current health and safety focus on employers and employees working as a partnership to ensure that everyone is safe in the workplace. There are various explicit duties that an employer has towards their employees. Tesco must follow the statutory duties of employers and employees relating to health, safety and welfare...

...Health and safety in the Business Workplace P1/M1– All work places need to ensure the health and safety of their employees, customers and any persons who will be entering the premises of a business. Businesses have a legal obligation to do so therefore Legal requirements have to be met and guidelines to be followed such as COSHH, RIDDOR, COMAH and other safety factors have to be followed. Legislations such as the Health and Safety Act 1974 ensured that all employers would have certain duties they must perform toward their employees and customers and what duties employees would have with other employees and customers, This act did not state that employers would have to take action in reducing any risks in the work place if it impossible or that the time, cost or trouble involved outweighed the risk. This Act just ensures businesses have good management and tackle any risks that occur in a sensible manner, unlike the next legislation.

It gives more explicit instructions on what employers and employees must do within with workplace to keep it a healthy and safe environment.
