FIRE SAFETY AT HIGH-RISE SHOPPING MALLS AT DHANMONDI, DHAKA AND APPLICATION OF SAFETY AUDIT AS A PREVENTIVE MEASURE

Abstract

In our country safety is a common urge from almost every corner. We breathe in a society where we have to struggle for our basic issues like safety. Fire at different shopping malls is the clear evidence that safety at high-rise shopping malls was poorly measured. But a minimum courtesy from the concerned authority could mitigate this problem at the optimum level. This paper tries to depict the safety condition at high-rise shopping malls at Dhanmondi, Dhaka as well as to emphasize on safety audit to avert fire risk. Lack of formal safety audit department among the high-rise shopping malls at Dhanmondi is one of the major findings of the study. That’s why, efficient use of safety audit on behalf of the market management can be an effective tool to solve this problem
