How Effective is Fire Safety Audit in India?

A fire safety audit is a tool for assessing the fire safety standards of an organization or building. A comprehensive fire safety audit examines the inherent fire risks of daily operations and recommends measures to reduce potential fire risks.

The occurrence of fire can cause severe damage to life and property. A fire safety audit is the most effective tool to assess the fire safety standards of your facility. It helps owners identify areas for improvement and develop action plans, in addition to preparing for emergencies and conducting test drills.

The main focus of these fire safety audits is:

  1. Identify and control ignition sources in areas where flammable chemicals are stored/processed/transferred.
  1. Evaluate chemical compatibility of storage areas and recommend appropriate measures to reduce fire damage.
  1. Check electrical hazards that may cause a fire.
  1. Evaluate fire detection measures taken and recommend appropriate improvements.
  1. Verify various active (fire hydrants, sprinklers, portable fire extinguishers) and passive fire protection measures requirements for storage and handling of chemicals and recommend improvements where needed.
  1. Verify fire alarm systems and emergency fire protection systems in plants
  1. Review contractor safety awareness (chemical spills, fire protection, emergency communications, knowledge of plant hazards, and safety regulations) and recommend appropriate improvements to improve contractor safety
