PHYSICAL BARRIERS AND SITE HARDENING MEASURES BY THE FIRE AND RESCUE DEPARTMENT, PUTRAJAYA

Abstract

Physical barrier is structural obstacles in natural or manmade environments that prevent or block mobility (moving around in the environment) or access. The Putrajaya Fire and rescue department has a compliance score of 10% and risk score of 90% on their physical barriers risk assessment. They claimed that the height of the fence at the fire station is not that high at around 1.5m because crime cases in Putrajaya are low. This study seeks to understand the physical barrier measures implemented in the Fire and Rescue Department.
