In 2024, firefighters in Poland recorded 29,271 apartment fires, resulting in 295 deaths and 2,052 injuries. Additionally, due to the emission of “carbon monoxide” [1] , „firefighters recorded 4,329 interventions in which 52 people died from carbon monoxide poisoning, and 1,334 people suffered from poisoning” [2] . An analysis of the causes of fires in previous years, as well as in 2024, indicates several main factors. The most common causes of fires include: arson, improper use of heating devices, defects in electrical equipment and installations, and adult carelessness. The aim of this article is to analyze the state of implementation of technical inspections of utility installations in residential buildings as required by national regulations. The author also presents the results of their own research in this area, along with conclusions drawn from the conducted studies and observations.

The article focuses on the definition of industrial business risks that are associated with risk management. Following the description of the risks, the article then focuses on the elimination of the hazard or the reduction of each of the two criteria that determine the risk in question, such as the severity of the damage caused by the hazard and the likelihood that the damage will occur, separately or simultaneously, are two ways to achieve the purpose of risk reduction. The article is highly relevant to the implementation and development of technical systems and equipment.

Technological development must be used to support and facilitate the society safety and evolution. Hazard maps, created based on innovative computer software, have the purpose to prevent and reduce material damages, injuries and deaths. The present paper approaches the design and realization of hazard maps with the purpose of reducing the cross-border gaps between Romania and Republic of Moldova on flood vulnerability. The results conclude on prevention measures in case of emergency situations and regional planning at European Union East border for the increase of society safety.
