Brandteknisk riskvärdering av Jakobsbergs sjukhus

This report is an evaluation of the fire safety at Jakobsberg's hospital outside Stockholm. The report is a part of the course in Fire Safety Evaluation that is given at the Faculty of Engineering at Lund University. The evaluation follows a scheme that was developed on a basis of prior learning at the Fire Protection Engineering Program and focuses on risks concerning life and health. The work started with an on-site identification of possible fire scenarios. The scenarios were ranked relatively to each other by comparing probabilities and consequences. The three most relevant scenarios were investigated further. Calculations were carried out regarding the spread of fire and smoke as well as evacuation. The conclusion is that fire safety at the hospital is almost satisfying, some efforts should be made to further improve the protection. Recommended improvements concerns better education of personnel and inspection of fire compartments to ensure that they are properly constructed.
