“…Factories and other workplaces should use technological practices to identify the risks of fire outbreaks and maintenance. A significant aspect is the use of fire prevention technologies and technical protection systems such as monitoring frameworks, emergency reservoirs, sprinkler systems, and leakage sensors (Kempna et al, 2018). Process monitoring systems include surveillance frameworks such as CCTV and smoke alarms.…”

Background: The Baldia Factory (BF) fire incident in Pakistan was among the most tragic workplace fires in the world claiming the lives of more than 259 people. Methods: A case study was conducted to evaluate the state of the safety measures, firefighting systems, building regulations, employees’ documentation, and compensation structures. Results: The case study found many deficiencies in the fire safety program and lack of adherence to and enforcement of existing fire regulations. Conclusion: Findings are discussed in the context of fire safety regulations and enforcement in low- and middle-income countries such as Pakistan.

“…Compared to the other substances, explosive, flammable and poisonous ones are more dangerous when released inappropriately [7]. It is well-known that the most dangerous of work accidents are explosions and fires that occur during the storage and transportation of petroleum and petroleum products, as well as other types of fuel [8,9] On the other hand, there are ones like chemical liquids, which are less found in daily life [10]. Chemical liquids are often used in laboratories.…”

The purpose of occupational health and safety studies is to protect employees from work accidents and occupational diseases and to ensure that they work in a healthy environment. Most of the work accidents happen as a result of wrong storage, transportation and use of chemicals. In order to protect employees from chemical hazards and eliminate their possible risks, a risk assessment should first be carried out. Based on the results of the risk assessment, if not done before, bottles that contain hazardous chemicals must be classified and labelled according to their risk levels. The labels of bottles that contain chemical liquids must be checked and if the labels are worn or unreadable, they must be renewed. After these have been done, hazardous chemical liquids must be classified, stored and transported according to these labels. In this study, a non-contact, liquid measurement system based on microwave data is proposed to detect hazardous liquids. In order to select the most suitable algorithm for use in this measurement system, 3 different classification algorithms have been used and the performance analysis of the algorithms has made. In the study, 3 different classification processes have been applied according to the chemical properties of the liquids. It has been observed that Random Tree algorithm has achieved the best performance while Rep Tree algorithm has done the worst performance. Using this system, hazardous chemical liquids can be detected without opening the cover of the bottles that contain the liquids. Therefore, it can be used to quickly label hazardous liquids for their safe storage and transportation.

“…One of the main tasks of society is to ensure the safety of the population and territories from emergency situations (ES) of natural and man-made characters [3]. Among man-made disasters, the most dangerous are explosions and fires during storage and transportation of oil and petroleum products, as well as other types of fuel [4][5].…”
