| Popis: | Recently, regular safety inspections for fire prevention have been carried out in universities because of the tightening of safety management regulations. Moreover, the training of research workers on laboratory safety rules has not resulted in significant changes in safety awareness. Therefore, to minimize fire damage through efficient management in the future, we analyzed the causes of fires in educational facilities using the statistical data of the National Fire Information System for fires that occurred in the universities in 2017-2021. Our analysis of the factors of fires showed that electrical factors accounted for 39% of fires, mechanical factors for 13%, chemical factors for 7%, and negligence for 28%. As electrical factors and negligence are the most frequent causes of fires, it is necessary to establish a high level of safety awareness among laboratory personnel and an active attitude towards fire prevention among managers. |
