FIRE AUDITS
A Fire Safety Audit has been found to be the most effective tool for assessing Fire Safety Standards. It helps people identify the areas for improvement and evolve an action plan. In addition to technical risk control measures like Fire Prevention, and Fire Protection, an Insurance Cover against loss of property due to fire is also recommended.
Need for a Fire Safety Audit
The National Building Code of India lays down a set of minimum provisions to which the buildings should be designed to protect the safety of the public. The regulations can be adopted immediately or enacted for use by various departments, municipal administrations and public bodies.
Fire Safety Audit Concept
Fires tend to have three causes:
• Deliberate act
• People are not alert to the fire hazards
• Carelessness of the people
These causes can be eliminated by identification of fire risks. A Fire Safety Audit or Fire risk assessment is a systematic examination of the place to identify the hazards from fire.
The fire safety audits can be conducted by an external agency or by authorities or by an internal team depending on the purpose and periodicity.
