Implantação de brigadas de incêndio: estudo de caso de um órgão público do estado do Paraná

Abstract

The existence of Fire Brigades in buildings occupied by Government Agencies or Institutions is very important not only for the protection of the occupants as well as for the protection of the entire public patrimony from the fire. In the Paraná State the legislation governing the issue of the Fire Brigades is the NPT-017/11 of the Military Firefighter of the Paraná State. This study aimed to plan and perform the steps number 2, 3, 4 and 5 of the implementation of Fire Brigade established by this standard, in that State Department. To this end, some informations on the facilities of the building was searched, your occupancy profile, distribution of stationary population, as well as the profile of these populations. For the performing of Step 4 (brigade men choose) a questionnaire was prepared in order to obtain further information about the employees who occupy the building. With the information from the questionnaires was further developed an equation that was intended to facilitate analysis of individual profiles of employees by assigning a score for each of them to optimize the selection of potential members that would make up the Fire Brigade of that State Department. Steps 2, 3 and 5 were performed successfully with the information collected about the building and its occupation . The questionnaires and the use of their results in the equation were also developed efficient to achieve their goals. Of the 28 members needed to make the fire brigade of that building, 25 were pre-selected thereby facilitating the action of that State Department managers to determine definitively all 28 members needed. One suggestion therefore is to review the questionnaire and the equation so that it can be used in other situations.
