What is fire safety inspection?
This is a process carried out by the fire department to ensure that a building is safe from fire outbreaks and has all the necessary safety equipment for fire hazards.
At the end of the inspections, all the risks and problems are written down by the inspector and issued to the organization. The inspector also known as an enforcement officer carefully examines the building thoroughly while recording the audit of the building’s fire preventive measures.
This process can be carried out in different ways depending on the state regulations, location of the building as well as other laws that play vital roles in house ownership.
Most times the inspectors ask some certain questions about the preventive measures of the building so far and check some documents such as the fire state policy.
While moving around the building, they take down notes as well as photos of the environment. Some of the necessary requirements a building must have when it comes to fire safety include; Fire detection systems, alarm systems, different types of fire extinguishers, varieties of fire hydrants, emergency signage and so on.
Fire inspections can be carried out anytime even though some are done yearly. If eventually your building doesn’t meet up to the standards required for fire safety, they have the right to issue you with an enforcement notice.
Why is a fire safety inspection necessary?
In India, there are certain fire safety standards that a business owner has to follow. If they fail to do this, they will have to suffer the consequences legally. Apart from that, it is a responsibility to keep the personnel and materials safe. Many businesses have gone out of business because of a fire that ruined everything for them. So it is better to be careful and aware rather than avoiding this process.
What happens in a fire safety inspection?
In a fire safety inspection, fire inspectors study the different parts of a building where a fire can start. They try to determine the different ways a fire could possibly start within the workplace. They check if the building has necessary equipment such as fire extinguishers, smoke alarms, sprinkler systems, etc. They will also check if the pieces of equipment are working or not.
They give basic training to the people in the building to prepare them for the incident. They educate people on how they can respond to the prevailing situation and help others. If they find any shortcomings, you will be required to correct them. They will inspect it again to see if you have followed the procedure and made changes.
