BSCI factory certification must not be a "three in one" or "two in one" factory building

whyBSCI factory inspectionDoes certification not allow the appearance of "three in one" or "two in one" factory buildings? What harm will it bring to our company? Now let's compare and see:

The so-called "three in one" mainly refers to places where employees' accommodation, production, operation, and storage are integrated, and such factories and places are not officially recognized by BSCI.

The key to the fire safety hazards in the "three in one" venue is to resolutely move out the accommodation personnel, strengthen daily fire and electricity management, and install simple fire alarm, simple automatic sprinkler devices and other fire-fighting facilities in the venue.

Some employee dormitories are set up in workshops or warehouses; Some use residential or rental properties for production and processing, accommodation and production in the same place, and so on. These places generally have safety hazards such as low fire resistance rating of buildings, weak fire safety awareness of personnel, poor self rescue ability, and serious lack of fire-fighting facilities, especially personnel escape routes and exits. Due to the presence of a large amount of combustibles in these places, a fire accident can easily cause casualties.

So if it is necessary to stay in the accommodation due to duty or other reasons, necessary physical separation must be carried out, independent stairs and fire doors must be set up to completely separate the business and accommodation premises; And, independent escape exits should be set up in residential areas. For safety reasons, it is best to set up an independent escape exit on the second floor.

In over 2000 BSCI consulting cases at Jieshun, at least 150 of them involved factory "three in one" or "two in one". In the BSCI standard, this is not accepted and is one of the most serious violations. Due to the fact that many small factories rent residential houses for production, these houses have not been planned or approved by the government, let alone fire safety inspections, environmental assessments, and completion inspections.

BSCI factory inspection is crucial for factory safety

BSCI has special regulations for factory safety in the safety and health section, and even directly scores 0 points in the B9.1 standard. Moreover, if this issue is mentioned in the initial review, it will be almost impossible to improve in the subsequent review. Therefore, it is necessary to avoid this issue as much as possible during the initial review.
