Abstract

This study aimed to identify the recognition of fire risks on their field operations among firefighters andcontribute to setting up safety measures accordingly. A self-administered questionnaire were used to evaluatetheir recognition of job risks. About 93.4% of respondents answered they have exposed to job risks and 73.4%answered that they had high safety awareness. Our study showed that the lower service years and ranks thefire officers had, the lower relevance in statistics their awareness of the risk of the field operations and safetyconcerns had. The vulnerable group is those aged 20 to 39, with under 10 years of service, at a lower rank ofsenior fire sergeant. The study suggests coming up with the measures to motivate the officers to perform safeoperations by improving their safety awareness.
