Ialam yomsi: isixhobo esitsha sokuthintela imililo

NgoJuni 14, 2017, kwaqhambuka umlilo omkhulu eGrenfell Tower eLondon, eNgilani, wabulala abantu abayi-72 waza wenzakalisa abantu abaninzi. Umlilo, othathwa njengowona umbi kwimbali yanamhlanje yaseBritane, ukwaveze indima ebalulekileyoiialarm zomsi.

Okui-alarm yomsiayisiyiyo kuphela inguqulelo eguquliweyo yesixhobo somsi esiqhelekileyo, kodwa kunye nempumelelo enkulu kunye nokuphuculwa kwetekhnoloji. Yamkela iteknoloji yokungenisa irediyo kunye nomabonwakude, ekhusela ngokufanelekileyo i-alamu yobuxoki kwaye iphucula kakhulu ukuthembeka kunye nokuchaneka kokusetyenziswa. Ukongeza, uyilo lwayo olukhethekileyo lwenkangeleko aluluhle kwaye luhle nje kuphela, kodwa lukwanalo nokhuseleko lwelungelo elilodwa lomenzi, olubonisa isakhono somvelisi sokwenza izinto ezintsha kunye nobunkokeli boshishino kuyilo lwenkangeleko.

Ngokumalunga nokulula, le alarm yomsi nayo iyagqwesa. Ixhotyiswe ngebhetri ehlala ixesha elide enokubonelela ngamandla iminyaka emi-3. Abasebenzisi abadingi kutshintsha ibhetri rhoqo, kunye nobomi benkonzo ende kunye neendleko eziphantsi zokuyigcina. Ukongeza, uyilo lwayo lulula kwaye lucacile, kwaye abasebenzisi banokugqiba ngokulula ukufakela ngokuzimeleyo ngaphandle kwenkxaso yezobuchwepheshe, ukuze yonke intsapho inokunandipha ngokufanelekileyo ukhuseleko lokhuseleko oluziswa yisilumkiso somlilo.

Ngokuphathelele ukuqinisekiswa komgangatho wemveliso, le alarm yomsi iphumelele uvavanyo ngenye yawa. Ayigqithanga nje isiqinisekiso somsi sobuchwephesha saseYurophu se-EN14604 kwaye ithobela imigangatho engqongqo yokhuseleko yaseYurophu, kodwa ikwafumene ukuqondwa ngokubanzi kunye nokuthembela kwihlabathi liphela. Ngokukodwa kwimarike yaseYurophu, intengiso yayo isasazeke kulo lonke ilizwe, yaba yenye yezixhobo eziyimfuneko zokhuseleko kwiintsapho zasekhaya kunye namashishini.

Ukushwankathela, le alamu yomsi, isiqinisekiso esisebenzayo sokhuseleko lomlilo kumakhaya anamhlanje kunye neendawo zorhwebo. Kwixesha elizayo, njengoko iimfuno zabathengi zokhuseleko ziqhubeka zisanda, ndiyakholelwa ukuba le alarm entsha yomsi iya kuqhubeka ukubonisa ixabiso layo elikhethekileyo kunye neempembelelo zentengiso kwihlabathi jikelele.
