Abstract

The government hospital buildings are exposed to many risks and fire accidents, which lead to many severe and fatal injuries every year. Fire risks are exacerbated by hospital proximity to flammable products and possible risks faced by many patients with disabilities in the hospital. Therefore, proper management of fire safety in hospital buildings is necessary to increase fire protection in preventing possible property damage, injury, and loss of life. It is imperative to improving the safety levels for patients and hospital staff. This paper is based on a primary literature synthesis to provide an overview of fire safety practices in government hospital buildings. Issues found through the synthesis will be used for future research if standard fire safety practice is to be established and propose appropriate fire safety plans for government hospital buildings. It will be used as a guide for responsible parties to periodically check on their fire safety standards in the government hospital buildings and ensure correct decisions in place to prevent fire accidents from happening as one of the imposed safety measures at the hospital buildings.
