Introduction and Purpose
Fire hazards are very common in any workplace operation whether it is a machinery or non-
machinery casual workshop. In an industrial, mechanical, chemical, electrical or casual
workshop, many occupational loss and injuries can be caused due to faulty equipment, leakage of

present the findings from the visual and measurable inspection of a real case of fire hazard and
analyse the risks, control system of fire hazards in any workplace.
