Abstract: Ensuring a profound occupational health and safety in Readymade garment industries is a challenge for the
developing countries despite having significant painstaking efforts. Recent statistics show that, the workers
of this sector are in vulnerable conditions due to their exposure to fire risk at the factories and this risk gets
worse during an emergency due to bottlenecks of egress components and clogging. Therefore, the emergency
management plans of the RMG sectors needs to be optimized for safety of workers. The research work of this
paper analyzes and explores the way of addressing underperforming emergency plans by optimizing
evacuation strategies. For this purpose, an RMG factory in Bangladesh is selected as a case study. Based on
the data provided by the factory management and survey regarding occupant’s perception, a simulation model
in an evacuation simulation is built. Fire risks at the factory are analyzed through risk analysis tools for worst
case scenario to assess the existing risks. The results reveal that the application of risk analysis tools along
with an agent-based evacuation can benefit the entire RMG industry by reducing the risks of bottlenecks and
clogging of egress controls that endangers lives of workers, thereby in optimizing the efficacy of fire
emergency management plans.
1 INTRODUCTION
The Apparel industry, also known as Readymade
Garment (RMG), of Bangladesh is making vital
contribution to the emerging economy as well as
acting as the major catalyst of the development of the
country. The readymade garment sector is accounted
for 81 percent of the total export earnings and is the
single biggest export earner for the country with
about four million workers (Hasan, M. and Mahmud,
A., 2017).
Being a developing nation, Bangladesh
government as well as the employers has not paid
much attention to ensure workplace safety in the
RMG industry (Barua, U. and Ansary, M.A., 2017).
As a result, this sector has continuously been facing
tragic incidents one after another. According to the
Centre for Policy Dialogue (CPD), a well-known
research organization working with the occupational
health and safety in Bangladesh, 161 safety incidents
have taken place in the RMG sector resulting 3875
injuries and 1303 deaths from November 2012 to
March 2018 (Solidarity Centre, 2018).
The Tazreen Fashion fire in 2012, one of the tragic
incidents in the Bangladesh apparel industry, in 2012
that caused about 112 dead and more than 200 injuries
followed by the Rana Plaza collapse in 2013 resulting
1134 dead and 2500 injuries awoke the whole country
as well as the world to the poor working conditions in
the Readymade Garment industry of Bangladesh
(Barua, U. and Ansary, M.A., 2017). The government
as well as other stakeholders like the ILO, the Accord,
the Alliance etc. have taken various initiatives to
make the workplace safe.
This research paper has put emphasis on the
implementation of the operational emergency
management principles using risk analysis tools and
simulation of an evacuation model with worst fire
scenario to make proper emergency management
strategies and proper recommendations for the

selected factory building as well as for the RMG
industry in Bangladesh.
2 OBJECTIVES
The aim of the study is to find out an effective
solution of reducing the exposure of risks to workers
in case of fire evacuation in RMG factories in
Bangladesh. This paper tries to analyze the
anticipated potential fire scenarios based on ISO
16733-1 and how the Pathfinder simulation software
can help assess the risk of fire evacuation and give a
scope to optimize the emergency management plan.
3 METHODOLOGY
An RMG factory is selected for the research purpose.
Then, based on the data provided by the factory
management, the existing fire risks were analyzed
using risk analysis tools.
As a part of data collection, a survey was
conducted to have the occupant’s perception about
current emergency protocol in the factory.
After analyzing the fire risks and considering
previous data regarding the RMG sector, risk ranking
criteria is prepared to make fire scenarios in
accordance with ISO 16733. Later, an event tree
analysis is performed to analyze the uncertainties
followed by a risk profile which presents the
probability of acceptance of risks and consequences.
To mimic the actual evacuation process at the
factory building, Pathfinder, simulation tool, is
incorporated based on management data and the
survey that was conducted by face to face interview.
4 FIRE RISK ANALYSIS
According to the Fire Service and Civil Defense,
Bangladesh (FSCD), 70% of the fire incidents
occurred due to electrical short circuit, 10% for
smoking cigarettes, 8% for machinery spark, 7% for
overheat and 5% for welding spark. Machinery spark
arises due to the friction and lack of proper
maintenance (FSCD, 2019).
Figure 1: Hazards causing fire incidents in Bangladesh
(FSCD, 2019).
4.1 Hazard Identification
As a part of risk assessment, hazards that can cause
fire at the factory have been identified and listed as
follows:
Table 1: Hazard identification.

Smoking
Smoldering cigarettes
can ignite fire in the
smoking area or at the
building.
No Smoking
sign should be
visible at the
building.

4.2 Risk Matrix
Risk matrix, a useful subjective and semi quantitative
approach to analyze the risks (Aven, 2008), is applied
on the hazard identification for possible fire incidents
at the factory building (Table 1).
Key:
High risk
Moderate risk
Low risk
Negligible risk
Figure 2: Risk ranking matrix for the causes of fire (based
on ISO 16733-1).
In the matrix (Figure 2), the hazards namely
electrical cables and tube light spark are placed in the
high-risk zone which is marked by blue color. These
hazards are serious threats to the fire safety of the
building and need immediate attention for mitigation
to avoid serious consequences. Smoking and fabrics
or yarns are placed in the moderate risk zone and they
should be minimized in a short period of time and top
management should be informed about these hazards.
And finally, chemicals and machines friction can be
mitigated through regular checkup.
5 EXISTING EMERGENCY
MANAGEMENT
Emergency management has four cycle namely
prevention and mitigation, preparedness, response,
and recovery (George D. Haddow; Jane A. Bullock;
Damon P. Coppola, 2006). This section briefly
describes these four cycles in the context of fire
related laws and rules.
Table 2: Emergency management at the factory.
Existing measures
Smoke detectors, sprinkler system etc.
have been installed as per BNBC. If
there are 500 occupants, there should be
at least two staircases in the building as
per the BNBC. In our factory, they have
4 staircases.
The authority has prepared themselves
with in house fire team in each floor
who will try to put out fire immediately,
rescue team who will be assisting
mainly disabled or pregnant women or
who get stuck in evacuation, first aiders
who will provide first aid to the injured
ones, fire extinguishers, hose pipe, hose
reel etc.
In-house firefighter will be the first
responder and the fire brigade or FSCD
will be the second responder.
Mainly the fire brigade, in-house fire
fighters, in-house rescue team will be in
the recovery stage if there is any fire
incident. Workers and local people also
help in response stage. Local hospitals
play vital role in case of casualties in
emergency.
6 DESIGN FIRE SCENARIOS
6.1 Fire Safety Objectives
The main objective for the fire safety is to provide life
safety to all occupants in the building. The fire safety
management should be such a way that no occupant
will be exposed to the fire. Occupants must be able to
evacuate the building before fire reach critical
condition. Hence, the fire safety objectives are as
follow:
Life safety of occupants in the building
Reduce the property damage
Reduce environmental impact
Continuity of factory operations
6.2 Selection Process of Fire Scenarios
ISO has guidelines regarding the selection process of
fire scenarios for the evacuation simulation. Based on
ISO 16733-1, the following guidelines have been
discussed to select fire scenario (ISO, 2015).
SIMULTECH 2019 - 9th International Conference on Simulation and Modeling Methodologies, Technologies and Applications
386
Table 3: Selection process of fire scenarios.
Location of
fire
In case of readymade garments factory
of Bangladesh, ware house is the most
potential fire location (Khandoker,
M.A.R., Mou, R.J., Muntaha, M.A. and
Rahman, M.A., 2018)
Type of fire
Fire involving solid materials like
fabrics, clothes, hard board etc. as well
as chemicals.
Potential
fire hazards
As discussed in Table 1.
Systems
affecting
fire
Automatic fire detection and alarm
system, manual alarm, automatic
suppression system (sprinkler), and in-
house firefighters.
Occupant’s
response
Familiar, wake and used to go with the
fire drills. But, there may be new
occupants, visitors who are not familiar
with the building as well as fire safety
evacuation.
Event Tree
Deterministic approach has been made to analyze the
uncertainties affecting any fire event. The event tree
analyzes all the potential outcomes based on the
initiating event- starting of a fire at the building. In
the event tree, all the existing barriers in the building
have been utilized to control the fire incident.
The event tree (Figure 3) has been made based on
the data provided by the factory management, but it
was not possible to check the correctness of the
information used. If any fire incident takes place,
there is automatic detection and alarm system
installed at the factory and the probability of working
this system is 85%. If the automatic system fails, there
is 80% probability that this manual alarm works.
Sprinklers are being installed and there is 70%
probability that they work in case of fire. There are
in-house fire team working in every floor. They can
suppress fire initially and probability is 60%. The
factory management observed during the fire drill that
80% of occupants behave correctly during fire.
In the following event tree (Figure 3), the
consequences have been made based on the
assumptions and subjective judgment. The number of
consequences is the number of occupants who may be
exposed to the critical condition and does not
necessarily mean casualties or fatalities. For example,
in case of fire, if every barrier works and occupants
behave correctly, then there will be no one to be
exposed to the fire. Sometimes people get panicked
just hearing the alarm sound. That is why, there are
some consequences in case of fire suppressed in the
event tree.
In the following event tree (Figure 3), all the
possible fire scenarios and impacts have been
calculated.
Figure 3: Event tree of fire at the factory building.
6.3 Risk Profile
Risk is defined as the multiplication of the likelihood
of an event and the severity of consequences (Aven,
2008). Risk profile has been made from the event tree
after calculating the probability and consequence of
each scenario. The consequences have been sorted in
increasing order with corresponding probability and
then cumulative probability has been calculated.
Using these impact and cumulative value, the risk
profile or staircase function has been drawn and it
ranges from probability 1 to 0.
Figure 4: Risk profile curve of the event tree.
Here, the risk profile (Figure 4) shows that the
individual risk is 0.52 that means if there is a fire at
the building, the estimated probability that one or
more occupants are exposed to critical condition, is
0.52. In other words, there is 52 percent chance that
Optimization of Egress Controls of Fire Emergency Management Plans using Agent based Simulation: A Case Study of Ready-made
Garment Industry
387
one or more occupants will be exposed to critical
condition if there is a fire at the building.
To calculate the medium risk, probability and
consequences of each scenario in the event tree has
been multiplied and then summed. The medium risk
is 1.15 that means, if there is a fire, there will be an
average of 1.15 person exposed to critical conditions.
The acceptance curve shows that the management
should pay heed to controlling the high probability
with zero consequences and high consequences with
lower probability zones.
6.4 Fire Scenarios
Fire can be ignited from the electrical short circuit or
fluorescent tube light sparks in the warehouse where
all the finished goods, yarns etc. are being stored.
According to statistics, most of the fire incidents in
the apparel industry of Bangladesh starts from the
warehouses. As it was mentioned above that, 70% of
the fire incidents caused from electrical short circuit
(See Figure 1), that is why likelihood of this fire
scenario has been set to high. In this case, the fire is
ignited in the warehouse during the daytime. In
daylight hours, 883 occupants are in the building. The
warehouse is in the fifth floor with 2359.55 square
meter area and four exits leading to stairs. If fire
ignites from any corner of this room, adjacent rooms
in the same floor will be affected immediately. The
fire and smoke will be spread out to the sixth and
seventh floor shortly as the smoke is upper bound in
nature. There could be a lot of fire scenarios, hence
only this scenario is further discussed as worst case.
7 SIMULATION MODELING
After the analysis of fire risks at the factory and the
required information from the survey, evacuation
model has been built. The simulation model is built
based on the actual drawing and floor layout of the
factory building provided by the management. Then
the blueprint is produced in .dwg file and further
exported to .pth file for extracting floors and doors,
stairs etc. in Pathfinder.
In simulation model, factory building
characteristics, occupant’s factors and designing of
fire scenario have been considered. The building is
eight-storied having span of 37161.94 square feet or
3452.46 square meters occupying 883 occupants in
total. It has different floors having different layouts
comprise knitting, linking, labeling section along
with large warehouses. There are egress components
such as stairs, lifts by which occupants evacuate
themselves effectively as well as proper ventilation
system which takes out the heat and smoke from the
building and acts as one of the passive fire protection
systems.
Occupant factors has different components such
as the number of occupants, age, gender, height and
shoulder width, and behaviors of the occupant during
fire evacuation. Figure 5 and Figure 6 depict the
occupants’ profile, behavior, walking speed,
waypoint etc. in the simulation model.
Figure 5: Occupants profile, behavior and walking speed
(1st to 4th floor).

Table 4 shows that the maximum time in steering
mode is around 343.40 seconds while 405.20 seconds
in the SFPE mode.

The figure 7 shows that the time of exit for all
occupants is 343.40 seconds. The time is taken by
first occupant to exit is around 34.70 seconds is
shown in horizontal part of the graph just before
sliding down. The steady state of the first occupant
from the initial point is due to pre-movement time.
After that it slides down at a constant state which
means occupants evacuate themselves without any
obstacles thus does not create any density in the end.
Figure 7: Time of exit for all occupants at the building.
Figure 8 illustrates that, fire breaks out in the
spot at the warehouse in 5th floor. The two red circles
indicate that two exits on the right side of the
warehouse are considered to be blocked due to
smoke, gas and heat. Thus, all the occupants seek
another waypoint which are marked red straight line
and seek to safe exits marked yellow circle.
Occupant’s speed in this floor those who work closest
to fire initiating point is affected. Fire fighters stay
there to extinguish fire as first responders if needed
having the sprinkler system works at the same time.
Figure 8: OCCupant’s Waypoint Due to Fire in 5th Floor.
Occupants of the two floors which are just above
5th floor do not choose two exits which are blocked
in 5th floor due to fire and smoke because of the
panic. The panic due to fire lead occupants to choose
the same way points as occupants in the 5th floor seek
to leave through safe exit on the other side of the
floor.
Waypoints are set up for the safe evacuation
purpose (Figure 8). In this kind of situation,
occupants might be advised to follow the safe way
points for safe exit.
The red marks in Figure 9 indicate that in 2
nd
floor,
there is bottleneck at the exit. This congestion leads
to overcrowd at the exit and thus creates panic which
might turn out to be stampede instead of safe
evacuation.
Figure 9: Density Heat Map in 2nd Floor.
8.2 Validation with Fire Drill Data
Pathfinder simulation tool simulates the evacuation
model, verifies the model and validates it with actual
fire drill data in terms of total evacuation time
(Ahmed, S., Mehmood, S. and Kristensen, A.S.,
2019).
The evacuation time from the fire drill is 295
seconds (data was taken from the management)
whereas the total evacuation time in Pathfinder
simulation (steering mode) is 326.6 seconds. There is
a bit difference between two data, because most of the
fire drills in most readymade garment factories are
announced beforehand that is why there is no pre-
movement time.
8.3 Validation with Fundamental
Diagram
The fundamental diagram test represents the speed-
density profile of the occupants in the model. This test
validates the following function:

(1)
Where, speed is a function of density.
For this validation purpose, the 2
nd
floor of the
factory is chosen to examine how the density affects
the occupant’s speed which reflects the real
evacuation scenario. Figure 10&11 represent speed-

density and specific flow-density, and data are
represented over time intervals until the steady state
arrives.
The simulation is run on steering mode. In
steering mode, there is no boundary layers in doors
thus does not have any specific flow rate. Here in
steering mode, each occupant uses steering system
and keep a reasonable distance from others to avoid
any kind of obstruction. Each occupant has own
specific goal and acts as independent agent.
Occupants interact with other occupants.
Figure 10 demonstrates that there is a negative
relationship between speed and density so that speed
of the occupants is reduced when there is high
density.
Figure 10: Speed-Density profile.
Figure 11 shows that maximum specific flow is
obtained where there is density of 2 person/m
2
. It gets
lower when the density is high.
Figure 11: Specific Flow-Density profile.
8.4 Verification with Hand Calculation
The following hand calculation is based on equations
in accordance with Engineering Guide to Human
Behavior in Fire (Galea, 2003) and considering
geometry of the factory building:
If T

= the time it takes first occupant to reach

occupants to exit through the controlling components
and T

The total evacuation time by hand calculation is
423.22 seconds. The evacuation time from simulation
is 405.20 seconds without pre-movement time closest
to 423.22 seconds. This difference is acceptable
according to simulation developers (Thunderhead
engineering, 2018).
9 DISCUSSION
This study shows that fire can be broken out due to
hazards exist in the factory. Despite having fire drills
in the factory, it lacks the real evacuation scenario
since fire drill is pre-determined in most of the cases
and it does not mimic the existence of fire.
The simulation result shows that there could be lot
more improvement in terms of further optimization of
the emergency management system. For instance, in
case of fire, occupants in the warehouse could be
advised to choose other exits for safe evacuation.
Simulation result clearly shows the option for safe
evacuation when other exits are blocked due to fire
and smoke.
The result also shows that there could be clogging
in any of the exits. In this case, occupants could be
advised to go to other exits when they see that the
exits they try to get through are highly dense and thus
prevent stampede due to panic.
10 CONCLUSION AND
RECOMMENDATIONS
Evacuation for a hundred percent export-oriented
factory is a difficult task to carry out in emergency.
Fire in the factory possesses high risk and has an
impact on human lives and properties. As an integral
part of the emergency management approach, the fire

drill carried out at the factory which does not reflect
the true evacuation process. In the drill, fire and
smoke are not created and most importantly, exits are
not blocked during the fire drill at the factory. But
exits near the fire will be blocked and halt the
occupants from safe egress. In Pathfinder simulation,
in case of fire in warehouse, exits were blocked near
fire location and occupants were assigned to use
specific exit route through waypoint to safe exit.
Pathfinder provides some extent of behavior based on
parametric input from the data from survey. The
simulation gives the Required Safe Egress Time and
identifies hazardous area in terms of congestion in
exits of the floors due to high density which helps
assessing the risk. One important drawback is that,
Pathfinder cannot predict the real behavior of
occupants in case of emergency. Behavior of
occupants varies largely based on the experience,
training, safety culture etc. However, the Pathfinder
simulation largely opens the scope of optimizing the
current emergency management approach in terms of
adopting different strategy in emergency
preparedness, response, mitigation and recovery. To
optimize the emergency strategy, following measures
can be taken:
Relocating the warehouse to some other places
would be the optimal choice for the management of
the factory to avoid huge economic loss and loss of
lives.
The findings from simulation like clogging,
behavior etc. should be taken into consideration
during fire drill in mitigation and prevention phase of
emergency management.
Quantitative risk analysis tools may be used to
assess the fire risks.
The number of occupants in 2nd and 3rd floor
should be reduced.
Authority should engage the local people,
hospitals and law enforcement agencies in the
response and recovery stage.
There should be an incident command system at
the factory for handling any emergency at any time
(day or night).
This research using risk analysis tools and
Pathfinder simulation software can help the entire
Readymade garment industries along with other
industries and any building structures to assess the
risk and to optimize the emergency management in
case of fire evacuation.
