Abstract

Emergency management is a fundamental part of occupational safety and health. Fires are the most common emergencies in the industries of our country and throughout the world. Applying the multi-criteria analysis method, the investigations using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) in fire risk assessment allowed the identification of fire risk factor. An experts group was consulted about the level of importance of fire risk factors in the fire risk evaluation, for these purpose each expert used the AHP. Results of research can be use to perform the detailed assessment of fire risk, allowing state owners and investors to carry out actions for reduce possible losses in case of fire. Insurance companies can perform the detailed assessment of fire risks on the object and to calculate a risk extra charge to an insurance premium. Fire departments can determine the compliance of a condition of object with requirements of regulations
