Method for calculating individual fire risk for a large warehouse complex

Abstract

Objective. The objective of this study is to assess a large warehouse complex's compliance with fire safety requirements and analyze its fire hazard level.

Method. A method for calculating quantitative indicators of fire hazard levels for large warehouse buildings is presented. The developed method is designed to reliably assess the potential threat of a fire breaking out and developing in a large warehouse complex. Fire hazard generation parameters are examined in detail, including architectural and planning features, fire load, fire safety equipment, and more.

Result. Fire risk determination is based on calculating values reflecting the fire hazard for the facility in question. The resulting data are compared with the limit values defined in regulatory documents. The calculated fire risk parameters quantify the likelihood of a fire occurring at a facility and demonstrate the potential consequences for building occupants and the safety of material resources.

Conclusion. The individual fire risk calculation method can be used to implement fire prevention measures, ensure personnel safety, and safeguard material resources at warehouse facilities. The proposed approach enables optimization of facility fire safety costs by selecting the most appropriate and well-reasoned solutions. The author proposes additional measures to ensure fire safety in warehouse facilities.
