Utveckling av en robust strategi för systematiskt brandskydd på sjukhus : En fallstudie om brandskydd på Västerås nya akutsjukhus

Abdel, Berivan January 2024 (has links)
Purpose: This essay aims to examine the organizational and technical fire protection for the new emergency hospital in Västerås and analyze what measures are needed to ensure a safe hospital. By involving the staff and ensuring that they have the necessary knowledge and participation, one can ensure a safe care environment for the patients and create the conditions for dealing with potential dangers in an effective manner. Method: To achieve the objectives of the study the method involved carefully selected interviews with various professional roles possessing expertise in fire risks. Through these interviews, the aim was to attain a more comprehensive depiction of the results. In addition to the interviews, a versatile approach was adopted, encompassing surveys, site visits, literature reviews, and meticulous calculations of airlocks. Furthermore, data collection was augmented by utilizing documents from the Västmanland Region. Result: The outcome of the study showed a lack of knowledge, experience and ability to act when it comes to evacuation situations. The building was designed with fire safety in mind. Despite this, the opportunity to implement measures to further improve safety was identified. With regard to the building's fire protection, the possibility of implementing airlocks was identified to supplement and strengthen fire protection in departments where there were fewer fire cells. Conclusion: l the implementation of airlocks is important to improve the evacuation situation and safety. Regular evacuation drills should be prioritized to increase staff preparation and confidence. Measures such as clear fire separations, reliable fire alarm systems, automatic extinguishing systems and well-designed emergency escape routes need to be implemented to increase robustness and improve fire protection. This requires cooperation with fire safety experts. Airlocks can streamline the evacuation process for bedridden patients and staff, which is crucial for quick and safe evacuation in emergency situations.
