Risk Assessment Plan of Fire and Explosion at Kileton Center for Nursing

Hazard: fire and explosion

Staff to assist with planning: manager, fire safety officer, environmental advisor, a member of

the Board of Directors, director of security, fire brigade department

Scenario A: the kitchen department uses gas to cook. The gas was leaking unnoticed. There was

then a gas explosion that occurred and caused a fire that burnt down a huge section of the center

for nursing.

Goal 1: the Kileton center for nursing management will effectively identify all of the assets at

risk from the fire and gas explosion hazards described in scenario A above.

Objective 1: All of the people assets affected by scenario A include the following: all of the

residents at the time, up to 70 individuals, and persons seeking nursing services at the center

during the time of the explosion.

Objective 2: All of the financial assets affected by scenario A include the following: the

revenue that could be collected during the period of the fire and explosion, fines that may

occur if patients find that the services have been affected

Objective 3: All of the physical assets affected by scenario A include buildings, information

technology, and utility systems.

Objective 4: the reputation and confidence in the entity will be at risk.

Objective 5: the fire and gas explosion will put the surrounding at risk too

Goal 2: the management will successfully identify all of the vulnerabilities from the risk of fire

and gas explosion in scenario A.

Objective 1: deficiencies in rooms to be used at the center.

Objective 2: inadequate security services

Objective 3: lack of a protection system

Objective 4: the loss of prevention programs

Objective 5: faulty defenses or lack of firefighting equipment

Objective 6: reduced staff due to reduced working space.

Goal 3: the management will successfully identify the potential impacts and measures to mitigate

the impact of fire and gas explosions as outlined in scenario A.

Objective 1: property damage

Mitigation Measure 1: property insurance

Mitigation Measure 2: Fire detection systems

Mitigation Measure 3: Fire suppression systems

Mitigation Measure 4: Designate internal safety officers

Mitigation measure 5: primarily building using materials that are not combustible;

unguarded steel and concrete blocks that are hollow.

Mitigation Measure 6: Having security measures and a lock-up in place since

fire and explosion is deemed a potential risk

Objective 2: business interruption

Mitigation Measure 1: Fire Prevention Strategies

Mitigation Measure 2: Taking suitable cautions based on known hazards.

Objective 3: fines and penalties and Increased expenses

Mitigation Measure: taking an insurance cover of the center and members of staff

Objective 4: loss of staff

Mitigation Measure 1: Building employee awareness of the hazards that may

occur

Mitigation Measure 2: Formalize fire prevention strategies for the members of the

staff

Mitigation Measure 3: Reporting of fire hazards, incidents, and near-misses to the

authorities in charge

Mitigation Measure 4: conducting training programs to teach the staff the use of

fire suppression systems

Objective 5: Customer dissatisfaction or defection

Mitigation measure 1: be proactive in communication

Mitigation measure 2: offering incentives

Mitigation measure 3: provision of excellent customer service

Objective 6: interruption of operations

Mitigation measure 1: use of strengthened concrete to minimize the risk of

burning down

Mitigation measure 2: Taking proper care founded on recognized dangers
