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:
- Identify and control ignition
sources in areas where flammable chemicals are stored/processed/transferred.
- Evaluate chemical compatibility
of storage areas and recommend appropriate measures to reduce fire damage.
- Check electrical hazards that may
cause a fire.
- Evaluate fire detection measures
taken and recommend appropriate improvements.
- 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.
- Verify fire alarm systems and
emergency fire protection systems in plants
- 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
- Evaluate staff safety awareness
and safety training requirements (identification and effectiveness of training)
to understand hazards present.
We conduct fire safety
inspections for any type of building structures (factories, hospitals,
schools/colleges, commercial buildings, residential areas, etc.) and we have
qualified and experienced fire safety professionals. With an extensive network
