Identification deals with the detection of possible hazards that further requires proper
knowledge about the risk associated with the fire breakout event and correct guidelines to
deal with such emergency problem.

9SECURITY
Sudden breakout of fire is associated with huge risk of death of the people, damage of the
property, building or injuries due to severe burn or even suffocation and breathing hazards
caused by smokes in the fire. Moreover if the place of accident has less space or premises it
can be dangerous as the evacuation will be disrupted calling for more risk if such situation
appears in any workplace.
Assessment of the probable risk in the accident brings out the importance and subsequent
action to be taken when met with such contingencies. The risk of death due to fire is always
higher than the risk of getting injuries like burn, or breathing hazards. To make a proper
assessment as Security officer one needs to know sources, types and ranges of risk to get past
to it. Then comes the most important step that is reporting these assessment acting as official
record which further initiates the process of installing help measures in the place to deal with
such risks if appears.
