Análisis de riesgos mayores y elaboración de plan de emergencias para el Campus Sur de la Universidad Politécnica Salesiana

Abstract

The project was focused on the analysis of major risks and the development of an emergency plan for the South Campus of the Salesian Polytechnic University. With a focus on the evaluation of the major risks found in the institution, thus allowing an effective response to threats, focusing on those that could have serious consequences. The study method applied for the objective evaluation of major risks was that of William Fine. The degree of danger was determined by considering three factors known as consequence, exposure and probability. On the other hand, the NFPA method was used to see the combustible load of each area in order to evaluate the fire risk. Finally, the MESERI method was considered for risk assessment, which had to do with various factors generating or aggravating the fire risk. The William Fine methodology gave a high risk for earthquakes, a low risk for floods and ash fall, and a medium risk for volcanic eruptions and fires. The results in the NFPA method indicated that combustible load is a low risk throughout the institution. On the other hand, in the MESERI methodology, the qualitative evaluation showed a very slight risk in all the blocks and finally, in the tax assessment it indicates that its acceptability is an acceptable risk. An emergency plan was developed with detailed specifications on how to act before, during and after a risk event.
