RELIABILITY STUDY OF HOSPITAL BUILDING IN MATARAM CITY AGAINST FIRE HAZARD

Construction work usually only takes into account structural strength technically regardless of non-technical elements such as fire safety inspection systems. Therefore, the provision of fire protection equipment to maintain the service life of the building becomes dormant. Fire incidents always cause losses in the form of properties and casualties and their impact on the reduced service life of the building. Hospital buildings have a high fire risk. Fire on hospital buildings has a huge impact because they are a vital object as health service. The purpose of this study is to know the application of fire prevention system and reliability level of a hospital building in Mataram City. The hospital buildings under study were the General Hospital of West Nusa Tenggara Province (RSUP) and Graha Ultima Medika Hospital (RSGUM). To find out the application of fire prevention system at the buildings, the descriptive method was used. Then the results obtained were analyzed using a Likert scale. Meanwhile, to know the reliability of the buildings, the method used was descriptive-quantitative based on the Regulation Pd-T-11-2005-C on Building Fire Safety Inspection. The results show that the regulation implementation values of safety equipment and passive protection system in RSUP are 4.18 and 2.71 respectively. Meanwhile, in RSGUM, the regulation implementation values of 3.63 and 3.0 for safety equipment and the passive protection system respectively are obtained. Therefore, it can be concluded that the implementation of safety regulations and passive protection system at RSUP is better than that of RSGUM. Moreover, utility component assessment in RSUP and in RSGUM produced values of Reliability of Building Safety System of 73.27% and 67.82% respectively. This indicates that RSUP building is more reliable than the building of RSGUM
