Abstract

Over time, disasters and consequences have made the
society review the implementation of prevention measures at the
facilities where large-scale emergency situations can potentially
occur. The study examines data on causes and effects of fires and
industrial accidents. Fire risk assessment methodology is based
on the combined use of several techniques: checklist method,
expert method and effect analysis method. The combination of
methods allows carrying out both fire hazard qualitative and
quantitative evaluation.
