Description

Centralized automatic fire alarm and smoke detection system with control panel is not available. Only stand
alone detectors are available.
On ground floor of main building, an exit access corridor serving an occupant load exceeding 30 is not
separated by walls. It has no separation from the production floor.

All of the doors in the means of egress are collapsible and sliding type and some are open (no door provided).

There are collapsible gates with locking arrangements like hasps, locks, slide bolts at the exit doors but doors
are not locked.
Door widths are more than 0.8m at main building, but all doors along the path of egress (i.e. doors leading to
staircase) are not fire rated doors having a rating of 1.5 hour as required in accordance with section 6.3.1.2.2
and 4.6.

Out of 2,443 people, 120 are trained and certified in fire fighting, first aid, and rescue by the appropriate
authority.

All the openings, penetrations and ducts through rated walls in the assessed buildings were found to be non-
rated. Some major locations are stated below: Store room has non-rated opening along the path of egress on
ground floor of main building. Penetration was observed beside of electric distribution board on 1st floor of
main building and this penetration go through all floors of the building. Similar openings and penetrations are
noticed on different floor of different building.
Height of the highest occupied floor of the main building is 21.34 m (70.00 ft) above grade which is greater
than 10m (33 ft) above grade. Therefore, class III standpipe system needs to be installed throughout the
building as per NFPA 14. There is a class II stand pipe system is installed in the main building. Four class II
standpipe hose connections (40 mm) are installed on the floors. There is no hydraulic calculation for the
installed system. However, on roof, hose pressure found negligible (less than 4.5 bar). Hose diameter and
water capacity are not sufficient. There is no Class-I standpipe hose connection (65 mm) in required stairwells
including occupied roof. Noted that 25 mm plastic hoses are also installed in different location of the premises.

There are 4 stair enclosures in the main building. None of the stair enclosures are fire rated. No fire doors
installed at exits of any floor. Non rated slab opening found in the exit enclosure on 5th floor. Similar non-rated
construction barriers of exit enclosures are noted at different locations of different buildings.

There is no dedicated fire pump in the factory premises to supply water in case of fire incidence as per NFPA
20. A pump is available but not dedicated for firefighting. No hydraulic calculation for installed standpipe are
available.
Standalone detectors are available. Manual switch or pull stations for occupant notification installed at egress
point of production floors.

There are two elevator shafts in the main building. One for passenger lift and one for cargo lift. The passenger
lift has openings inside stair enclosure. The cargo lift has openings towards production floors, which are not fire
rated.

There are 2 nos stair in the utility building. Both of them terminate at ground floor generator room.
In the utility building exit discharge terminate at ground floor generator room..

Automatic fire alarm and detection system control panel is not available in the factory. Currently there is no
monitoring company in Bangladesh. Fire service and civil defense are also not capable of monitoring fire alarm
and detection systems of the factories.

Occupancy separations are not fire rated, and the opening protections are not fire rated, as well. Some major
locations are stated below: Compressor is kept open between production area and idle machine store on 1st
floor. There are openings at walls of production area and machine store of main building. Spot removing rooms
are noticed on different floor and spot lifter(highly flammable gas can) use for spot removing. Spot removing
rooms are not properly fire separated from production floors. Proper separation is not provided on 6th floor of
main building among dining(area more than 75 m2) and store(not accessories occupancy). Kitchen also exist
in 6th floor beside dining room and gas cylinder use for cooking, which is prohibited. Proper separation
required between in process store and production on 3rd floor of main building. Proper separation is required
between store and office on 5th floor of main building. Proper separation required between temporary store
and electrical distribution board on 3rd floor of main building. Proper separation required on 3rd floor of main
building between production and store. These different occupancies need to be fire separated.
