Fire-Safety Design Controls for Brunei Wet Kitchens

Executive Summary

This protocol maps ignition and spread hazards in wet kitchens to actionable controls for layout, clearance, ventilation, and emergency response readiness.

Claim Labeling Rules

• `Measured`: inspected layout and incident records.
• `Cited`: applicable standards and official guidance.
• `Inference`: control-priority ranking.

Research Question

Which design and operational controls provide the largest reduction in ignition probability and spread consequence in residential wet kitchens?

Methodology

1. Build hazard register by fuel type and equipment class.
2. Audit layout clearances, suppression readiness, and ventilation state.
3. Score controls on prevention, detection, and containment effect.
4. Produce required/recommended/optional control matrix.

Primary Endpoints

• critical_control_compliance_percent
• ignition_near_miss_rate
• suppression_readiness_score_100
• residual_risk_tier

Assumptions

• Incident and near-miss logs are reliably captured.
• Homeowner behavior influences residual risk materially.

Limitations

• Rare major events limit direct statistical precision.
• Suppression outcomes vary by response time.

Independent Validation Status

Protocol complete, local dataset pending.

What This Does Not Prove

• Zero-fire guarantee for compliant kitchens.
• Regulatory sufficiency outside referenced scope.
