A Risk Assessment of Piql Services by FFI

Intentional (Yes/No/Both)

No.

Profile of actor (if intentional)

-

The building within which the piqlVault system is placed is an old office building. The general infrastructure (ventilation systems, water pipes and electrical system including wiring) is outdated, and especially the electrical system is due for replacement as the Piql personnel have recently experienced many problems with old fuses and poor wiring. An electrical fire is started when an overload occurs when a robot connects to a charger on top of the grid which causes a spark and a fire is ignited. Most regular fires burn with a temperature of between 600 and 1200° Celsius depending on the materials which fuel the fire.

Location

Geographical zone: North (Asia). The developmental level of many parts of the continent is medium to high, but there are pockets of less developed areas with more dilapidated buildings and lacking infrastructure. The piqlVault is situated in an urban area, yet a little outside of the city centre where standards are more modest. The scenario takes place in the present. The time period is 0-30/50 years, as the user is business non-sensitive. The scenario is also a risk for the future, so long as the risk of electrical fires is an embedded feature of the way electrical systems are set up. The climate zone is a humid subtropical climate. It is autumn, in the start of September. The local weather conditions are fairly hot and the humidity is normal: 27° Celsius with a relative humidity of 78 %. It is a rainy day with drizzling. The accident occurs late in the evening as a
