8. SWOT Analysis: WEAKNESSES
Fire extinguisher was placed near main power supply
board/ meters. Although it is the fire prone area and if
in case there is a short circuit here, using fire
extinguisher at that point won’t be feasible.
Incorrect placement of Fire Extinguisher
Stagnant water in Parking area
The construction of road for parking area wasn’t
appropriate which lead to collecting of stagnant water
(due to rain)
