Liga Asuransi – Dear readers, how are you? May your business and family always be well. On this occasion, we are interested in reviewing the news that has just happened to the plywood factory in Jalan Soekarno Hatta, Cijagra Village, Bandung City, which has been on fire since Monday (24/10) night.
The process of extinguishing this factory takes a long time, about 20 hours. This is because the materials in this factory are flammable, such as piles of cardboard and plywood. In addition, there is limited access to the fire location, which has only one door. The fire also spread to other buildings because these buildings stored paint.
A total of 22 fire trucks were already back and forth at the location to help extinguish the fire. The plywood factory warehouse does not have a fire prevention system or a water tanker. There were indeed no fatalities and injuries in this incident, but they suffered a loss of 2 billion. So far, the exact cause of the fire is unknown.
As a senior insurance broker, we are very concerned about this incident. We will try to understand the accident from the point of view of risk management and insurance, as well as remind entrepreneurs or factory owners to pay attention to the risks that can occur at any time, with the hope of helping the parties involved in completing the investigation process appropriately so they can make wise decisions.
We hope this article is helpful for you. If you are interested, please share it with your friends, so they also understand like you.
Understanding Risk
