Introduction An outbreak of fire in a building can be very disastrous at times as it not only kills but it is costly as well. In serious fire outbreaks the consequences can be very bad and often result to, business closure, the destruction of property worth lots of money, lose of livelihoods, displacements, damage of property, causality in human beings and even the loss of life. As shown by Bluff (16) “In 2004 (England and Wales) fire and rescue services attended to over 33,400 fires in non-domestic buildings. These fires killed 38 people and injured over 1,300, the cost of these fires was estimated at £2.5 billion”. With the situation of this accommodation centre it was relevant to carry out a risk assessment with reference to the health & safety legislations which shows that “requirements need to be encouraged or many organizations would not act upon their moral obligations, especially to occupational health and safety acts” (Bluff 72). This assessment report is therefore going to focus on fires occurring at an accommodation centre caused by student’s lifestyles, which made students have inhalation problems and 2 firemen being burned. The report will analyze and identify potential hazards, evaluate risks posed by the identified hazards, and show how to control and reduce the impacts. The report will also show how this objective fits in the Fire & Rescue Service Integrated Risk Management plan. Hazard identification In the accommodation centre students have a rather careless lifestyle and do not really take into consideration the risks a fire outbreak can cause. The students use different electrical appliances, use match sticks, lighters, smoke cigarettes and they misuse electrical equipments. These are the main sources that ignite fires in the accommodation centre. The fuels for these fires are in the materials that can catch fire easily which are not properly arranged. This comprise of wooden furniture, clothing, mattresses and blankets, baskets for storing wastes, flammable substances used by students (body lotions, creams, spirits and cigarette lighters), reading books and papers. “Fires are started after ignition where there is fuel and oxygen” (Grayson, p. 21), the source for oxygen in this case was identified as the natural oxygen in the air that filters into the room through openings and the oxygen coming from the installed air conditioners such as fans. Other oxidizing agents on the other hand were not found in the premises. People prone to the hazard in and around the accommodation centre The people found around and in the accommodation centre are mainly students who reside in the premises, the caretakers, cleaners, friends of the students; relatives who come to visit the students, construction and routine management workers and the people passing by. People prone to this hazard are mainly the very students who ignite the fires. They are highly prone as they are the ones who live, sleep and do their activities there. Sleeping people are always slow to act in response to an emergency making them highly prone, it was recorded too that some students use alcohol and drugs putting them at risk in the event of a fire. However no report of disability individuals was recorded. The second group of pe
