Abstract

Formulation of the problem. In recent years, in connection with the numerous incidents of fires occurring in hotel and restaurant complexes, many studies have been conducted on risk management issues, as well as actions in emergencies. Research was often limited to incident analysis rather than how to manage fire safety to minimize risk. Today the hotel is a complicated, multifunctional complex, which includes not only the number of rooms, but also can have conference rooms, bars and restaurants, gyms, tennis courts, swimming pools, nightclubs and other entertainment and domestic facilities. Some rooms can be multifunctional. Hotel complexes are objects with many people, which makes high demands on fire safety. There are very few studies that focus on preventive measures. Therefore, the study of management and assessment of fire safety of hotel and restaurant complexes must be given considerable attention. Purpose.

The following methods are used in the work: system, theoretical generalization, analysis and synthesis, comparative, statistical. Results. The creation of a comprehensive fire safety system allows to increase the degree of safety of customers and employees of hotel and restaurant complexes. The successful solution of the multifaceted and complex tasks to achieve safety, assigned to the administration and employees of hotel and restaurant complexes will depend on the level of their preparation for action in a complex environment that may arise due to emergencies. The causes of fires and ways to prevent and improve fire safety of hotel and restaurant complexes are analysed. Conclusions. Ensuring fire safety of hotel and restaurant complexes is based on a set of legal, economic, technical, and other measures. Analytical studies have shown that the fire safety system in modern hotel and restaurant complexes is a complex automated network of warning, extinguishing and fire prevention. A prerequisite is the provision of automatic warning networks, fire extinguishing systems and modern fire protection systems at these facilities.
