What Is a Fire Safety Audit?

A fire safety audit is an assessment of fire protection, prevention, and emergency preparedness measures that are implemented at your facility. The audit is done to find out whether fire safety systems are:

• Operated and maintained.
• Installed properly.
• Adequately designed.
• Aligned with best practices and all the applicable regulations.

This is not a certification exercise that should be conducted once. It is a compliance and risk identification review that intends to recommend corrective actions and highlight gaps.
