However, several areas still require improvement, such as the equitable distribution of handwashing facilities, more strategic placement of portable fire extinguishers, and strengthening traffic risk mitigation measures due to the school’s location. Overall, the implementation of healthy and safe school standards at SDN 6 Kendari has been proceeding well, but requires continuous improvement to achieve optimal compliance with the standards.

Terminal sanitation plays a crucial role in creating a clean, safe, and comfortable environment for public transportation users. This study aims to describe the sanitation conditions at Jakabaring Terminal, Palembang city, in the year 2025. The research employed a descriptive method with an observational approach. Data were collected through direct observation using a checklist that assessed four aspects of sanitation: environmental hygiene outside the building, hygiene of rooms and structures, sanitation facilities, as well as comfort and safety. The findings show that all four assessed aspects were below the required sanitation standards, with the following percentages: environmental hygiene outside (52%), hygiene of rooms and buildings (66%), anitation facilities (60%), and comfort and safety (57%). The low scores were caused by several factors, including substandard toilet conditions, lack of separated trash bins, inadequate ventilation and lighting, and the absence of first aid kits and fire extinguishers. The study concludes that the sanitation conditions at Jakabaring Terminal do not meet the standards of a healthy terminal. Greater attention and action are required from the terminal management and relevant authorities to improve sanitation quality and ensure user comfort.

Fire extinguishing equipment is vital in ensuring operational safety on board and meeting the requirements set by SOLAS. Regular and regular maintenance is required to ensure that fire extinguishing equipment is always in a ready-to-use condition in the event of an emergency. Conducting  periodic drills aims to find out the extent of the readiness of fire extinguishing equipment to be used and its completeness. This study has the purpose of finding out: 1) Factors causing fire extinguishing equipment in KM. Lambelu is less than optimal 2) The impact that will occur if routine maintenance is not carried out on the fire extinguisher. The method used by the researcher this time is a qualitative descriptive method. The results of this study are as follows, The main causes of damage to light fire extinguishers in KM. Lambelu is the lack of inspection and supervision that is carried out periodically on the equipment, while other supporting factors are the lack of understanding and skills of the crew in operating light fire extinguishers, the use of light fire extinguishers that are not in accordance with the SOPs, and exposure to the marine environment that causes light fire extinguishers to corrode or rust. The impact of not carrying out routine maintenance is a decrease in preparedness in times of emergency, in addition to that it will cause financial losses, operational disruptions, and reduce public trust in the company.

Fire incidents in Indonesia remain relatively high, with a total of 2,286 cases recorded. In 2022, the frequency of fires in Jakarta reached 1,691 cases, marking a 10% increase compared to the previous year, which had successfully reduced fire frequency by 23%. The high fire risk in high-rise buildings can lead to both material losses and casualties. This study aims to design the layout and determine the requirements for portable fire extinguishers  in a hospital project in Jakarta. The design of the fire extinguisher layout and requirements is intended for the operational phase of the building, ensuring optimal applicability. The location, area, and/or environment with various work activities and risk levels ranging from low to high indicate that safety is of paramount importance and must be prioritized, and that any form of accident should be addressed as early as possible. This research employed a qualitative descriptive method to describe and illustrate existing phenomena, both natural and human-engineered, through observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings show that the design of the fire extinguisher layout and requirements amounted to 61 units across the 4th to 7th floors, with the fire extinguisher layout plan attached. The type of fire extinguisher used on each floor is a 6-kg dry powder extinguisher. The conducted fire risk assessment indicates that each floor presents a moderate hazard, while some rooms exhibit a high hazard level. This study provides recommendations for the placement and requirements of fire extinguisher in accordance with standards and is expected to contribute to fire prevention efforts in the hospital project in Jakarta once it becomes operational.

Fire is one of the serious threats to buildings, especially national vital objects such as Building B Administration Electric Company East Java. Evaluation of the fire protection system, which includes Portable Fire Extinguishers (APAR), hydrant systems, and Fire Alarm Systems (FAS), is important to ensure the readiness and suitability of the devices in dealing with potential fires. This study was conducted through direct observation and comparing the results with international safety standards such as NFPA 10, NFPA 14, and NFPA 72. The evaluation results showed that the level of suitability of APAR was 89%, the hydrant system 72.6%, and FAS 83.66%.
