It is a really unfortunate incident. Most of the fires reported either emanates from the kitchen or electrical materials. The summer time is usually dangerous for porta cabins as their combustibility increases during these periods. Unfortunately we find most of the workers are usually crammed into these unsafe accommodations. To avoid these types of incidents the workers should be provided adequately ventilated accommodations, fire exits, kitchen should at a safer distance from the accommodation, good fire safety equipments and training for safety. The Safety department should conduct regular training for the workers in the use of safety equipments, precautions for preventing fires, actions to be taken during the fire and awareness of various other hazards during and after work.
