关注年长者居家防火安全 官委议员王丽婷吁传授看护者防火知识

防火安全修正法案昨日(5日)在国会获三读通过,所有新建住宅都需安装家用防火警报器,而民防总监则可强制要求,建筑业主安装警铃系统和消防喉等重要防火措施。

官委议员王丽婷在参与法案辩论时,关注年长者居家防火安全,特别是不良于行和年长者等弱势住户,在紧急事故发生时面临的风险更高。

在辩论中,王丽婷提及2015年至2017年,有四位年长者在朱家火患中丧生,而在今年5月,一名83岁的失智不良于行老妇,因为无法逃出火场丧生。至于2008年挪威的一项调查也指出,70岁以上年长者在火患中面对的风险高出四倍。

她指出,我国在2030年预计每四人中就有一人是65岁以上长者;在30年内预计我国近半人口年龄超过65岁,故此正视建筑环境防火安全刻不容缓。

“2015年,65岁人口中约10巴仙,即10万3758人属不识字群体,他们可能无法理解组屋区的火灾逃生指示,”此外,她提及目前有8万2000名居家失智患者,预计2030年将增长至10万人。

女佣没被教导如何使用灭火器

王丽婷认为,防火安全并不仅是民防队的责任,并献议可从家庭女佣着手,她说,尽管在看护年长者女佣培训计划下,女佣受训照顾年长者,但防火安全意识并不在其中,甚至于没被教导如何使用灭火器和自动体外心脏去颤器(AED),以及如何在紧急情况下安全疏散。

她鼓励雇主聘请受过全面培训的女佣,或者教育他们如何安全操作电子器材,例如不要用湿手或湿物触碰电器等。

此外,诸如失智友爱社群等社区组织的志工,也可多探访那些失智年长者,查看他们的情况。至于居家看或者也可参与防火培训。

吁居家安装自动喷水系统

王丽婷表示,在每家每户安装自动喷水灭火系统有成本考量,但优先在那些居住有弱势住户的单位安装,值得慎重考虑。“假设那位坐轮椅老妇,家里有安装喷水灭火系统,是否她生存的几率大一些?”

防火安全修正法案在上月8日在国会一读,其中要求所有建筑物必须安装重要防火安全设施,直接影响了500栋建立于70、80年代的老旧建筑物,以及一些如医院和疗养院等高风险建筑物。
