Abstract

The risk of fire in power generation is the latest issue of concern to the electricity business. Several preventive programs such as coal dust control and the improvement of coal handling facilities to the provision of fire fighting infrastructure have been carried out continuously, but the main problem in the implementation of further work programs is finding the right policy in the main risk and determining the priority of mitigation. Integrating the House of Risk method with ISO 55001 can become an alternative to the previous methods that already exist and will be able to support the establishment of fire safety risk mitigation policies. A holistic review of business processes taking into consideration emerging risk agents in addition to risk events, risk impacts, and the occurrence of risk agents, then the method used will be able to generate a selected list of prioritized preventive actions. The results showed 41 risk events with 28 identified risk agents, furthermore, 17 risk agents were chosen as a preventive measure, and finally 8 proposed preventive actions to reduce the probability of the occurrence of risk agents that can lead to business interruption.
