Fire Safety Inspection and Audit | CIL
Records show that more than 180,000 people in the world die from fire accidents annually, out of which about 30,000 deaths happen in India alone.
On top of that, fire disasters inflict damage to properties and business assets equaling incalculable wealth.
Fire inspections are hence crucial for the safety, security, and well-being of the employees/owners of any organization.
What Is Fire Safety Inspection?
A fire safety inspection is a security check conducted by a designated fire inspector-led team to evaluate and mitigate the potential fire hazards in an organization.
The type and frequency of fire safety inspections in India may vary, depending on several factors such as the location of the organization, regional administrative laws, jurisdictional policies and guidelines, and special regulations applicable to the type of building premises.
Fire safety inspections usually cover the following aspects:
• Surveying of extinguishers and other fire protection equipment to check if they are operational.
• Analyzing whether the fire exits are safe and free of any obstructions or complications.
• The electrical safety factors are observed to check against optimal load, temperature, circuitry, etc.
• Checking the premises for combustible materials, and the safety of their storage.
• Examining the fire safety awareness of the employees of the organization.
After the completion of the inspection, normally a certificate is issued which describes the clearance or no-objection record if the organization is found safe from fire and safety hazards.
Benefits of Fire Safety Audit
It is not enough to simply install fire safety equipment and put security policies in place to keep your organization guarded against fires at all times.
Any fire safety equipment is useful only if it is routinely inspected and supervised by a licensed fire inspector.
Since most organizations don’t need to use them frequently, a fire safety audit is essential to check the responsiveness and functionality of their fire safety equipment.
The types of fire safety equipment examined under a fire safety audit are:
• Fire sprinklers
• Fire extinguishers
• Fire suppression systems
• Fire alarms
• Fire pumps and hoses
In addition to inspecting equipment, fire safety audits also check for various aspects such as the exit paths, safety protocols, and the overall efficiency of the escalation prevention measures taken by an organization.
This makes fire management smoother even in the worst case scenarios.
