The complex use of complex buildings, which combine residential and commercial accommodations, can easily lead to unclear fire safety responsibilities, lack of day-to-day fire safety management, unauthorized structural changes to buildings, nature of use, etc., and exert considerable pressure on fire control。
“what are the emergency measures to be taken in case of fire?”
In an electrical distribution room in a high-level commercial building in hunanyang, faced with a wall-wide control button, the state security committee made unannounced inquiries about the electrical engineers on duty。
"to turn off the fire power." the duty electrician gave a wrong answer。
Fire-fighting power is the emergency power supply unit that can provide centralized power for evacuation lighting and other important primary power loads in case of fire in buildings。
“electrotechnical” is a bit tense.” there are attempts to “problem”. “this is not even clear about the most basic operating procedures.” according to one of the team staff members。
On 6 december 2021, working group ii, sent by the office of the secretary-general of state for security, conducted a fire safety inspection of high-level commercial buildings in hunan, which revealed a lack of expertise among property management staff and a lack of security responsibilities by the main head of the unit。
"if there's an accident, it's a big problem."
At the time of the inspection in the above-mentioned high-level commercial building, the undercover team also found that in the fire pump room, a wet alarm valve that was supposed to be regularly opened by an automatic sprinkler system was closed. This means that, in the event of a fire, the automatic spraying system will not be connected and will not work properly。
"the last time i did it, i forgot to open it." unusual silence for a moment was explained by property staff。
Members of the team took out daily maintenance and inspection logs of the fire pumps. The logbook shows that, for pumping houses, property staff are required to inspect eight projects on a daily basis, one of which is “the inspection of pipes and valves”, and that the inspection column for “the inspection of pipes and valves” was ticked in a table from 1 to 7 december。
“the daily inspection should not go through.” on-site, undercover team members requested that the property industry train staff to enhance operational expertise in fire-fighting facilities and add operational signs to key facilities for marking management。
In addition, while checking part of the floors of the high-rise building, a number of households kept bicycles, chairs, shoe cabinets, etc. On the stairs. The wall is also accompanied by a rectification notice of the deadline posted by the property on 6 november 2021, requiring the household to complete the restoration within three days。
A month has passed since the property posting was posted, and miscellaneous items in the building are still being cleared. "we also reminded the owners, but they didn't listen and we couldn't." the manager of the property management company, chen, was worried。
Members of the undercover team stated that the building was a public area and that the property had a duty to deal further with personal items placed in the building by the owners that had not been cleared。
The emergency management department's regulation of 21 june 2021 on the safety management of fire safety in high-level civil buildings states that property service enterprises shall stop the use of evacuation corridors, safe exits, etc., and stop any ineffectiveness and report promptly to the relevant administrative authorities, such as fire and rescue agencies, in accordance with the law。
In the early morning hours of 14 october 2021, there was a fire in the salt zone of takayu city, taiwan. The investigation report of a survey team from the city capital of gao yu indicated that the fire had broken out in a vacant house occupied by a man on the first floor, that 59 motorcycles had been parked in violation of the law and that there were too many flammable materials in the vicinity, which was the cause of the fire. The accident resulted in 46 deaths and 41 injuries。
"if an accident happens, it's a big problem." the members of the undercover team reminded chen yae at the scene that the lack of scrutiny and the lack of cleaning were security risks and that attention should be paid to routine hazard screening。
On 6 december 2021, the security committee of the state council carried out a fire safety inspection of high-level commercial buildings in hunan, yuyang, on the premises of the mingtsung mission。
The diesel generator's batteries are disconnected
The group then went to the generator room in the second basement of the site. On-site, the team discovered that the dedicated batteries for diesel generators were not connected to diesel generators and that the dedicated connections were left behind by the batteries and were in disrepair。
“no batteries are available, and if there is an emergency, what will be done?” the team staff asked。
Electrical engineers replied that they would then come to the room and connect the batteries。
The team staff told southern journalists on weekends that diesel generators should be connected to dedicated batteries. Thus, in an emergency situation, batteries could be used to initiate the generation of diesel generators, and it would be too late if they were in a state of disconnection and when an accident occurred。
The group then asked chen if there were any procedures in place for the operation of the electrical lockout following the fire and for the training of electricians in emergency operations。
When some feedback was provided to chen on the risks and problems identified, the team pointed out that those problems were perceived as a lack of knowledge of staff safety, inadequate emergency disposal procedures and poor fire safety, but rooted in the main head of the unit, with security responsibilities not being met。
Article 21 of the newly amended safety and production act stipulates that the principals of the production and operation units shall have the following responsibilities: organize the preparation and implementation of the work safety education and training programmes of the units; organize the establishment and implementation of a double prevention mechanism for the management of safety risks and the detection and detection of hazards; monitor and inspect the work safety of the units; and eliminate in a timely manner the risks of accidents in production. According to the inspection, the principals of the property management unit are not in control of the relevant legal provisions, are not in charge of fire safety, are not organizing basic safety training for their staff and are not inspecting the performance of the unit's fire safety, resulting in irregularities in the management of fire safety in the unit, low emergency response capacity and inadequate security screening。
The group stressed that the main head of the unit was fully responsible for the fire work and would be subject to legal sanctions in the event of non-compliance, fire incidents, major damage to property and loss of life. The principals of the units are required to learn and comply with the law, to carry out fire safety management responsibilities in strict compliance with the relevant provisions of the safety production act and the fire safety act, to regulate fire safety management in the units, to improve the safety awareness and emergency response capabilities of the staff, to effectively screen for fire hazards and to ensure the safety of the lives and property of the population。
On weekends in the south, journalists learned of the integration of residential complexes of commercial complexes, the complex nature of their use, which can easily lead to unclear fire safety responsibilities, lack of day-to-day fire safety management, unauthorized alteration of building structures, nature of use, etc., which puts considerable pressure on fire control。
At the end of the unannounced visits, yueyang fire and rescue conducted interviews with the principals of the property management and issued corrective orders for problems, requiring companies to meet deadlines。
