[Fire Safety] How to improve citizens' awareness of fire safety?

Fire, since ancient times, from foreign to domestic exist, however, how to minimize the probability of a fire, we need to concern. The public fire prevention and education of the whole society is not enough, forcing us to seriously think about how to improve the fire safety awareness of the public to obtain better results, thereby reducing the occurrence of fire and avoiding personal and property losses. This article is about the current public fire safety In addition to a detailed analysis of consciousness, several suggestions have been made for your reference.

There are many reasons for the occurrence of fire, among which the number of disasters caused by people's lack of fire safety awareness accounts for a large proportion. In many cases, fires are not "natural disasters" but are caused by people's wrong behavior . From the point of view of the frequent occurrence of fires in the country and the constant situation of dead people, people's fire control knowledge is generally lacking and fire safety awareness is weak.

1 Overview

Since 2017, the country have been several major fire accidents, such as Taizhou, Zhejiang Tiantai "2.5" foot bath center fire caused 18 people were killed and 19 people were injured; Nanchang, Jiangxi Honggutan Platinum Huihaihang Hotel "2.25 " Fire caused a total of 10 deaths and 13 injuries. Both of these fires have exposed the issue of people's fire safety awareness.

The construction personnel at the scene of the accident at the Hainan Airlines Hotel in Baichanghui, Nanchang, ignored safety procedures and operated arbitrarily, causing tragedy. People who deal with open fire don't value fire safety, let alone other people.

A fire accident will cause great damage to people's lives and property, bring misfortune and pain to many families, and may also cause great adverse effects. Therefore, it is imperative to further raise the awareness of citizens on fire safety.

To increase people's awareness of fire safety , one aspect is to require the propaganda to do a good job . On the other hand, it requires citizens to actively study and accept.

2 Citizens' Current Situation of Fire Safety Awareness Analysis

2.1 Fire safety responsibility is not fulfilled

The Fire Protection Law clearly stipulates that agencies, groups, enterprises and institutions shall perform the following fire safety responsibilities:

( 1 ) Formulate fire safety regulations and fire safety operating rules;

( 2 ) To implement a fire safety responsibility system and to determine the responsible person for fire safety of the unit and its subordinate departments and positions;

( 3 ) Conduct firefighting propaganda education for employees based on their own characteristics;

(Iv) Organize fire prevention inspection and remove fire hazards;

( 5 ) Allocating fire-fighting facilities and equipment and setting fire safety signs in accordance with relevant state regulations, and regularly organizing inspections and repairs to ensure that fire-fighting facilities and equipment are intact and effective;

( 6 ) Ensure that the evacuation passages and safety exits are unimpeded , and set fire safety evacuation signs that comply with national regulations.

The management unit of a residential area of ​​a residential area shall, in accordance with the relevant provisions of the preceding paragraph, perform fire safety duties and do a good job of fire safety work in residential areas. However, many units failed to do a good job. Some departments, for example, set up requirements for their superiors. Many departments believed that the fire protection propaganda work should be done by the fire brigade. They believed that they had nothing to do with themselves, did not do a good job, and had not been punished accordingly. The task of causing the current firefighting propaganda is basically borne by the fire brigade.

In particular, firefighting propaganda below streets and townships is very weak. Many ordinary people even thought that the fire brigade had to collect money and did not dare to call the police. Some people did not even know how many fire telephone calls were made.

Many social organizations also have the phenomenon that the responsibility for fire safety is not fulfilled. Many organizations do not have a fire safety organization at all. The legal representative does not know what responsibility he has and what obligations he has. Only when something is done and when the responsibility is pursued is it known that he had such a responsibility. However, not knowing the law does not mean that he has not violated the law.

Since the person in charge as a unit has the obligation to understand what kind of responsibilities he should assume and what obligations he should perform. The lack of attention is the root cause of the scarcity of firefighting propaganda and the weak awareness of safety. As the person in charge and the boss do not pay attention, it can be imagined that the following employees certainly do not pay much attention. Even if other aspects are better managed, safety is not well managed, and accidents can cause serious losses.

2. 2 fire prevention publicity did not catch the key

At present, firefighting propaganda is only on the surface and it is publicized for publicity. It does not focus on the future and fundamentally raises public awareness of fire safety.

For example, most of our children have not received formal fire safety education. Education departments and schools have taken fire safety education as a task, and have not actually carried out appropriate fire safety education in conjunction with their own schools. Evacuation drills.

Either at the request of the fire department or not, it will not be pushed or moved. As time goes by , many schools think that fire safety education is a matter of the fire department . They think that the fire department will give them a fire course every semester. There is no plan at all.

Many schools not only fail to pay attention to students' fire safety education, but also have very poor fire safety management, fire-fighting facilities are not maintained, and safety exit lockups occur frequently.

If this continues, our children grew up without cultivate good awareness of fire safety, and so they grow up to go training will be very difficult.

Although the government and the fire department are gradually advancing the school's fire safety propaganda, the effect is not yet obvious. Many schools have not implemented it. This is not related to the education department's neglect of assessment and assessment.

The status quo of fire safety education is not optimistic. Many responsible persons of units are not familiar with their own fire safety responsibilities and only pay attention to benefits and do not pay attention to safety. When something was done and it was necessary to pursue his responsibilities, he knew that he had such responsibility.

Most of our firefighting propaganda is directed at some of the employees in the unit or the management staff below the middle level. However, the legal person and person in charge of the unit rarely advertise.

As a result, the above did not attach importance to the above, in the middle of walking through the court, the following no attitude, and finally the entire unit that fire safety education is a task, in order to deal with fire inspections, many people did not really learn fire safety knowledge.

Apart from social organizations, the fire safety awareness of many of our government agencies is also relatively weak, and fire safety education that is usually accepted is also less. However, their influence is very great. If they can strengthen their awareness of fire safety, it will greatly help raise the awareness of fire safety in the entire society.

2.3 The fire propaganda content lacks innovation

Our current firefighting propaganda, although step by step, is expanding. Fire slogans, posters, etc. can be seen everywhere.

However, the people who only know this slogan here, there is this poster here, really think about it, very few people see. The atmosphere is there every year, but few people are accepted. This is related to the improvement of our innovative needs in firefighting.

Our traditional placards, posters, LED and other flat propaganda have certain limitations. If I, as a firefighter, feel that these are unattractive, then other people will not even look at it.

3 Suggestions on Improving Citizens' Fire Safety Consciousness

3.1 Strictly Implementing the Fire Protection Publicity System

Many departments and units think that firefighting and propaganda is a matter for the firefighting department. Although superiors have arranged this work, they still do not pay attention to implementation and do not pay attention. What caused this situation? I think there are institutional reasons and there are also reasons why we cannot strictly implement rewards and punishments.

If you can seriously implement the firefighting propaganda rewards and penalties system, the annual assessment of firefighting and propaganda personnel, the ineffectively working units, the cancellation of the appraisal and prequalification qualifications, and the responsible persons of the fires that have an impact on the industries that they are in charge of, must investigate the corresponding Responsibility to earnestly enhance the responsibility for implementing firefighting propaganda.

3 . 2 Reform and elimination of work evaluation methods

In the current assessment of fire protection work, the top level is jointly evaluated by the various departments of the State Council on the fire protection work of the provincial governments. This way, the busiest ones are not the government, not the various industry sectors, but the fire departments.

Because the firefighting work of various industries and departments is not done well, the provincial government will think that the fire department is not well-directed, so many fire-fighting jobs that should be done by various industry departments must be promoted by the fire department.

In the end, the results of the assessment are not ideal and they are also the responsibility of the fire department. The result is that the industry departments do not pay much attention. In any case, there is a fire department to help.

Therefore, I think that the assessment method for fire protection work should be reformed , and the provincial government and the municipal government should not be assessed. Instead, the joint department at the higher level should select provincial and municipal industry departments for assessment, and the departments that are not involved should not participate.

The results of the assessment are not reported to the provincial governments, and the provinces and municipalities are directly notified of the industry sector . If the results are not satisfactory, the provincial and municipal governments must not list the industry sector as advanced in the year.

In this way, various industry departments will earnestly implement the firefighting work. At the same time, the firefighting propaganda work can be truly implemented and the firefighting publicity will be made bigger and bigger.

3.3. Grasping the Key to Fire Safety Awareness

To raise people's awareness of fire safety is not an overnight task. It also requires step-by-step improvement. How can we gradually increase it in an orderly manner? In my opinion, grasping the key point is critical, and we must focus on grasping early.

The awareness of fire safety needs to be grasped from a young age, and the cultivation of safety awareness is the same as the cultivation of other consciousness. To allow the public to cultivate a habit, one must start from a young age. Therefore, primary school students and young people are the focus of our propaganda. However, if you want to do a good job for students, you need the joint efforts of the education department, schools, and parents.

Why do Chinese elementary school students know from a young age that they should be polite and understand the roads to obey the traffic rules? This is the result of education. If we also pay equal attention to the cultivation of students' awareness of fire safety, through each semester fire evacuation drills, monthly Fire safety knowledge courses, regular fire brigade visits and other forms enable students to develop good fire safety awareness in practice. As they grow up, this awareness will be deeply imprinted in their minds and subtle. Affect the next generation. In this way, we can safeguard our future.

In addition to seizing the future, we must also seize the present. For the legal person and main person in charge of a social unit, it is necessary to conduct face-to-face firefighting propaganda, inform him of the fire safety responsibilities to be assumed, and what consequences he will bear if he fails to perform. Only the leaders at the higher level pay attention to the fact that the unit will have a fire safety system and only if it has a system will it implement the system. In this way, the entire unit staff will pay attention to fire safety, and over time, fire safety awareness will be formed. If the superiors do not pay attention, they will not grasp the key points, and their foundation will be unstable and the results will be poor.

3-4 diversity firefighting propaganda to enhance the firefighting publicity attraction

Firefighting propaganda is essentially service work. In order to do a good job in firefighting propaganda, a person who does not shoot well and needs to provide services, that is, propagandists from the perspective of public needs and public opinion, provide effective propaganda to the masses, so that the people are willing to accept and intuitively feel the fire Content of promotion.

In the propaganda work, we should add stereoscopic propaganda, networking, new media, and other forms on the basis of traditional graphic propaganda. Let the people get in touch with fire museums, fire education concepts, fire brigades, etc., and experience how the fire protection work is carried out.

We must make good use of hot spots, highlights, highlights, and difficulties to turn propaganda into news and use the news to promote . We must use the latest new media such as WeChat and Weibo to conduct firefighting propaganda. At the same time , the contents of propaganda should be new and attractive. force.

Only by continuously enriching firefighting propaganda means and propaganda content , and creating fire culture connotation propaganda to ensure that the firefighting propaganda receives attention and durability and coverage, can we effectively raise public awareness of fire safety.

3 . 5 Try to market the firefighting publicity

Professional people do professional things, is the current direction of management and work. Many areas and many work markets have achieved very good results. Fire work is fragile, fire work is always on the road, and firefighting will never be unemployed. Therefore, there is still a large market for firefighting propaganda.

The government should encourage the establishment of corresponding companies. The company can not only undertake fire safety propaganda, but also can undertake other professional propaganda work. Then the government purchased these publicity services from these companies, which promoted the safety of professional marketing, which not only increased the efficiency of propaganda , but also found new economic growth points and employment points.

At present, there are relatively good examples. Many fire-fighting departments give the WeChat platform for firefighting promotion to professional WeChat platform maintenance companies for management, which greatly improves the continuity and publicity of publicity.
