| Summary: | Hospital has been designed to function in emergency services and ongoing
patient treatment. However, some operations in hospital facilities can expose the
hospital and its residents, including personnel and patients, to the plausibility of
unexpected fire threats. Like most hospitals worldwide, building complexity has been
an issue for safe evacuation during a fire. A fire at Sultanah Aminah Hospital in Johor
Bahru, Johor, Malaysia, in 2016 demonstrated that fire could destroy buildings and
property and cause injury and death. Therefore, it is imperative to see the extent of the
perception of staff working in hospitals about the effectiveness of fire safety measures
in government hospital buildings in Johor, Malaysia. In this study, two main groups of
hospital services (clinical and non-clinical) are stratified based on service norms into
three groups: management staff, medical staff, and engineering/technical staff,
including Medivest Sdn. Bhd. as a Hospital Support Service. The study aims to expose
the connection between the effectiveness of fire safety measures of government
hospital buildings in Johor, Malaysia, regarding building occupancy, layout, and
building usage in 12 hospital buildings in Johor, Malaysia. |
