Independent risk assessment and initial data for calculation of fire risk in public buildings, constructions and fire divisions of different classes of functional fire hazard

Introduction. Technical regulation is the main tool for ensuring safety at all stages of the life cycle of an object (build­ing, structure). Currently, the provisions of regulatory documents governing fire risk calculations need to be updated and clarified.
Independent risk assessment and baseline data for calculating risk. The planning of inspections by the super­visory authorities of the Emercom of Russia is carried out depending on the frequency category assigned to the object of protection with the frequency appropriate for this category. The calculation of the fire risk assessment is subject to verification by an official of the state fire supervision authority exclusively within the framework of a scheduled (unscheduled) inspection in accordance with paragraph 63 of the Administrative Regulation, namely, verification of the source data used in calculating the risk. Departmental norms and recommendations provide a standard basis (report structure) based on risk assessment, which takes into account various requirements for modern design and reflects the requirements of the law on discrimination on the basis of disability in relation to the principles of inclusive design. At the same time, it should be emphasized that the above departmental norms and recommendations, despite their practical significance, do not reflect the issue of source data for practical ­purposes and cannot serve the tasks posed by modernity.
Conclusion. The peculiarity of the calculations consists primarily in the need to submit those to a specific capital construction object, using the source data, which will allow the calculation to be carried out correctly and allow the Ministry of Emergency Situations inspector to verify the calculation. The issue of specifying the initial data in fire risk calculations, which are used more than once at various protection facilities, seems appropriate to be ­re­flected in the relevant regulatory documents, which will greatly contribute to improving the actual safety of people and the correct calculation.
