This study aimed to assess both the fire risk assessment quantitatively and the effect of trained crisis management team on fire risk.
Method: In this descriptive analytical study, fire risk was calculated for the 15 wards of Hazrat Rasoul-e Akram hospital of Fereydunshahr through fire risk assessment method for engineers (FRAME) firstly. Then, crisis management team was formed and trained; in the following, the effects of fire risk were calculated. Data analyzed by SPSS-20 at a significant level of P <0.05 with Wilcoxon test.
Findings: According to the results, the building fire risk and their contents was on average (mean=0/57, SD=0/51), the risk of fire for individuals was (mean=4/60, SD=2/37) and the risk of fire for activities was (mean=1/81, SD=1/56); Given the unacceptable extent in the FRAME method, the risk of fire for activities and individuals were in an undesirable range. In addition, a trained crisis management team reduced the fire risk level by an average of 31.4%. The effect of crisis management team was significant in reducing the risk of fire. (P<0.05)
Conclusion: Due to the unfavorable conditions of fire safety in the mentioned hospital, fire risk can be reduced greatly by organizing the crisis management team at the hospital.
