The Government of Jakarta has issued Regional Regulation No. 8 of 2008 to ensure that fire hazards are minimized across the board. The rapid growth of Jakarta in both the physical and human sense has positive and negative impacts for city management. The focus of this Regulation is the negative impacts and in particular fire. The Regulation focuses specifically on the loss of lives and assets that may result because of fire. The Regulation repeals and replaces Regional Regulation No. 3 of 1992 which is deemed to no longer be appropriate with respect to the preventing and handling of fire hazards.
The Regulation sets out the objects covered with regards to fire hazards as:
-Buildings;
-Residential buildings;
-Motor vehicles; and
-Dangerous goods.
Each of these is further enumerated in the Regulation. For example, the potential for fire is based on the height, the function, the area (or size), and the contents of the building. The potential is the classified as being small, medium, or large. Dangerous goods, for example, include explosives, compressed gases, flammable liquids, flammable solids, radioactive materials, and poisons, among others.
Fire prevention is the responsibility of every building owner or manager. These responsibilities include having life saving equipment, fire service access, fire protection, building safety management. Each of these are further enumerated in the Regulation. For example, fire protection is categorized into two basic categories, namely: passive and active.
Passive protection includes building materials and construction. In contrast active protection includes, among others, fire extinguishers; detection and alarm systems; automatic sprinklers; and smoke control systems.
There are both administrative and criminal sanctions depending on the breach. The administrative sanctions are standard written warnings, delay in issue of recommendations or permissions, and building closures. The criminal sanctions provide for a maximum of 3 months detention and fines of up to IDR 50 million.
The Regulation was issued on 21 October 2008 and enacted on 23 October 2008.
