چکیده
Background and Aims: The extent of fire incidents in commercial complexes has increased the importance of assessing their fire safety status. The American National Fire Protection Association has provided CFSES software for assessing the fire safety of integrated complexes. However, the applicability of this software to assess the safety of commercial fireplaces in Iran should be measured in accordance with national regulations and laws.
Materials and Methods: In the first phase, the applicability of CFSES software to assess the fire safety in commercial complexes in Iran was carefully examined. In the second phase, the fire safety rules applicable to the commercial complexes of Iran were identified and listed quantitatively and qualitatively. In the third phase, by comparing the software and the content of the rules, software compliance with national standards was assessed. All stages of the study were conducted in accordance with ethical standards.
Results: The rules cover all of the 12 evaluated parameters in the CFSES software. The software does not consider the parameters of the manpower population, the type of activity, the safety of electricity and waste, repairs, maintenance, and the availability of non-gazebo fire-fighting equipment, as detailed in the fire prevention and fire prevention regulations in workshops.
Conclusion: According to the results, the CFSES software elements provide an appropriate coverage for the assessment of the fire safety of business complexes. For more precise evaluation of commercial and manufacturing complexes, parameters such as manpower and type of activity, status of electrical and waste safety, maintenance and maintenance should be included in the evaluation.
