Penilaian Risiko Kebakaran Berbasis HIRADC dan NFPA 551 pada Gedung Workshop Jasa Fabrikasi Konstruksi

Abstract

The manufacturing sector frequently involves fabrication processes. The products manufactured undergo various fabrication production steps. The fabrication process utilizes machinery such as lathes, presses, bending machines, roll machines, shearing machines, welding machines, shotblast machines, and painting machines, which are classified as hot work activities that carry the potential to ignite both small-scale and large-scale fires. NFPA 1 Chapter 10 on General Safety Requirements mandates that all buildings, whether new or existing, must be designed, installed, maintained, and operated in compliance with regulations aimed at creating a safe working environment for employees. The initial phase of the research entailed hazard identification using the Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment, and Determining Control (HIRADC) approach, followed by a Fire Risk Assessment conducted in accordance with NFPA 551 standard guidelines. The HIRADC results revealed that the workshop contains work activities with the potential to spark fires, comprising 11 activities in the fabrication workshop area, 7 activities in the office area, 4 activities in the warehouse, 2 activities in the yard, and 3 activities in the employee mess, all of which lack adequate fire protection systems. Based on the Fire Risk Assessment, the 25 identified fire hazards can be downgraded to 5 moderate fire hazards and 2 moderate fire hazards by implementing active fire protection measures, such as fire extinguishers, hydrants, sprinklers, detectors, and fire alarms.
