This article describes the situation with fire safety at Riga schools regarding their compliance with the fire safety requirements set in Latvia for accommodation of people in schools. The objective of the current paper was to research and evaluate the compliance with the requirements of regulatory enactments regarding the accommodation in Riga schools and analyse the actual fire safety situation during accommodation of participants of the Dance and Song Festivals in Riga schools. The research was conducted in spring of 2018, prior to the Dance and Song Festival, assessing the compliance of 60 accommodation sites with the Latvian regulatory enactments on fire safety. During the Dance and Song Festival, it was planned to organise accommodation places in schools for 24 000 persons – participants of the festival events in the city of Riga. Ensuring fire safety at public facilities is a topical issue for any country, since the fulfilment of fire safety requirements is important not only in cases, when school premises are intended to be used for temporary accommodation of participants of the Dance and Song Festivals for a period not exceeding a week, but also in cases when children have to stay in school premises every day to receive the knowledge they will need in their future lives and the fulfilment of fire safety regulations is an important condition for providing the overall safety.

The article outlines the main aspects of the occurrence and prevention of fires in the cities of Volyn. In general, the fires hindered the development of a city, and its citizens bore the heavy burden of restoring the city’s production capacities. The owners of Volyn cities provided the fire victims with help for certain periods of time, but it did not always improve the situation. The article uses the orders of the prince’s administration in Dubno in the 18th century to analyse the fire safety measures and sanctions against violators. The documents regulating fire management have been published. The sources focuse mainly on the implementation of the system of preventive measures to fight the fires in the city of Dubno and the technical and managerial recommendations aimed to overcome possible challenges. The fire management strategy proposed by the prince’s administration was current and corresponded to the society’s needs at the time, since by the mid-18th century, the privately owned city of Dubno had become Volyn’s leader in the number of households, thus the most populated, and continued to support its people until the end of the century. The necessity of strict fire safety regulations and their adherence was based on four major factors: the high numbers of the city’s inhabitants, the ethnic and religious diversity of military contingent as well as their different professional activities, the constant influx of merchants and guests of the city, and mostly wooden city constructions and buildings. Volyn cities had night guards, whose responsibilities included ensuring that the citizens adhered to the fire safety regulations. For example, the city of Olyka had quartermasters, which were elected, similar to some other city positions. The article analyses the fire safety rules and requirements, which united the entire city community and ensured equality in the rights and duties of all city residents and locals from adjacent suburban areas regardless of their social affiliation. Thus, the problem of firefighting in the city became a common cause. Fires and their consequences could also become an instrument of manipulation in the political life of the region.

Introduction. The text of draft amendments to Technical Regulation “General requirements to fire safety” was published on January 16, 2020. Draft amendments were developed with in the framework of the“regulatory guillotine”approach. The mission of the proposed amendments was to eliminate excessive and duplicative fire safety requirements, inter alia, requirements applicable to fire safety and fire extinguishing devices that had been established by Technical Regulation of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU)“Оn Requirements for fire safety and extinguishing devices” (TR EEU 043/2017). The purpose of this article is to substantiate the in expediency of, or, on the contrary, the need to make the proposed amendments to Federal Law No. 123-FZ of July 22, 2008 “Technical Regulation of Fire Safety Requirements”. The body (analytical part) of the work. The proposed amendments to the regulatory legal act titled “Technical Regulations on Fire Safety Requirements” were drafted within the framework of the “regulatory guillotine” approach. In the course of the comparative analysis of effective fire safety requirements and proposed amendments the co-authors came up with recommendations for their improvement. The co-authors of the article present arguments to substantiate the inexpediency of some particular amendments, but at the same time, they support the need to make other amendments to Federal Law No 123-FZ. The co-authors comment on the proposed draft document that has twenty-eight amendments.Conclusions. Fire safety regulations must represent a single consolidated document, rather than several “fragments” available in the Technical Regulations of the Eurasian Union, Technical Regulations of All-Russian Significance and Technical Regulations of Safety of Buildings and Structures.

Safety Rules

This article analyzes certain provisions of the legislation of the Russian Empire, namely fire safety regulations governing fire safety prior to the adoption of the uniform act of systematization of the Fire Department of the Charter of 1832. The peak of development and adoption of normative-legal acts related to that particular fire safety measures, falls on 1737-1739 and 1749-1753. From the analysis, it is possible to classify the fire safety rules for the following types: 1. Special fire safety regulations for cities that are cities of Federal significance at the present — Moscow and Saint-Petersburg; 2. Fire rules specific to certain territories of the Russian Empire — in the forests and on ships; 3. Special rules for fire prevention.

Risk Categories

Introduction. A mathematical model is presented for assigning protection objects to certain risk categories in the field of fire safety. The model is based on the concepts of the probability of adverse effects of fires causing harm (damage) of various extent and severity to the life or health of citizens, and the acceptable risk of harm (damage) from fires. Goals and objectives. The purpose of the study is to develop the procedure for assigning protection objects to a certain category of risk of harm (damage) based on estimates of the probability of fires with the corresponding severity consequences, to determine the acceptable level of risk of harm (damage) due to the fires, to calculate and develop numerical values of criteria for assigning objects of protection to the appropriate risk categories. Methods. The boundaries of the intervals corresponding to certain risk categories are determined by dividing the logarithmic scale of severity of adverse effects of fires into equal segments. Classification methods are used to assign objects of protection to a specific risk category. Results and discussion. Based on the level of severity of potential negative consequences of a fire, risk categories were determined for groups of protection objects that are homogeneous by type of economic activity and by functional fire hazard classes. The risk category for each individual object of protection is proposed to be determined using the so-called index of "identification of a controlled person" within a group of objects that are homogeneous by type of economic activity and class of functional fire hazard. Depending on the risk category, the periodicity of planned control and supervision measures in relation to the specific object of protection under consideration is determined, taking into account its socio-economic characteristics and the state of compliance with fire safety requirements by the controlled person. Conclusions. To develop criteria for classifying protection objects that are homogeneous in terms of economic activity and functional fire hazard classes, the probability of negative consequences of fires, that are causing harm (damage) of various extent and severity to the life or health of citizens, and the acceptable risk of causing harm (damage) as a result of fires, is used. The risk category for each individual object of protection is determined taking into account socio-economic characteristics of the object that affect the level of ensuring its fire safety, as well as the criteriaof integrity of the subordinate person that characterize the probability of non-compliance with mandatory fire safety requirements at the object of protection. Calculations are made and numerical values of criteria for assigning protection objects that are homogeneous in terms of economic activity and functional fire hazard classes to a certain category of risk are proposed. Key words: object of protection, probability of fire, acceptable level of risk, risk category, dangerous factor of fire, death and injury of people.

The British Pressure Gauge Manufacturers Association has always emphasised the need for strict observance of recognised safety requirements when using pressure gauges. Unfortunately, gauges are both available and used that do not meet the rigid safety regulations laid down in British Standard 1780 and this could lead to serious accidents. The provisions of the Health and Safety at Work Act coupled with the strengthened proposals for Product Liability will place a greater statutory responsibility upon the manufacturer and user alike. The Association has therefore prepared the following statement:
