CDG provides fire safety audits in India.

Fire safety inspections can involve checking for fire hazards within a building. Check out some more of the most common reasons to schedule fire safety inspections for a residence or commercial facility.

Inspections involve checking smoke alarms to make sure they are working without an issue. Smoke alarms play a key role in preventing fires from spreading, and the alarms can warn building occupants about a fire that could be starting.

A fire escape plan can be checked during a fire safety inspection to make sure it is a proper plan and to ensure it is updated.

Fire pumps can be tested during a fire safety inspection process. The fire pump provides water for a fire protection system. It is a key part for system components such as fire sprinklers.

Fire extinguishers can be checked when a fire safety inspection occurs. Fire extinguishers are important to keep you safe. If a fire does occur, fire extinguishers can avoid letting fires spread out and can try to eliminate the fire completely. Checking a fire extinguisher, which is a part of the fire safety system that typically lasts for a long time, is an important part of the fire safety inspection process.

Exit signs and exit doors are also important parts of a fire safety system. They can be checked to make sure exits are safe and the right ways to go in case of a fire.

A fire safety inspection can ensure that all equipment, such as smoke alarms and fire extinguishers, are located in the right places in the house or building.

If there is an issue with any equipment, such as a fire alarm system, it can be fixed during the inspection process. It is important to make sure equipment works so that it can help in the case of a fire.

Fire sprinklers are also essential parts of a fire protection system. They can be checked in an inspection. Fire sprinklers consist of water in pipes, and the sprinkler can spray water to control and eliminate flames that result from a potential fire. Fire sprinklers should be working properly, and they are key to a proper fire protection system. They can be very effective and beneficial in the case of a fire, and an inspection can ensure that they are working.

Fire inspection is conducted by the fire departments to assess the potential fire safety hazards in a building. Its type and frequency varies from one to another, depending on the location of the building or installation, relevant laws, local and special regulations applicable for the type of building occupancy.

A fire inspection can also involve checking equipment such as emergency lights. Emergency lights can help to make the environment safer and can ensure that the residential area or facility is prepared in case of a fire.A fire safety inspector will check out the workplace, the activities undertaken there and your management of fire safety. Theyll also audit your fire risk assessment to ensure that youre complying with fire safety law.Fire safety inspections can help to ensure that equipment is operating properly and can help prevent any potential dangerous issues from occurring. There are many benefits that can arise from fire safety inspections.

Fire Risk Audits

Fire Risk audit is an effective tool for assessing fire safety standards of an organization or occupancy. A fire Risk audit addresses the inherent fire hazardous associated with day to day activities in an occupancy and recommend measures to reduce the potential fire hazards. Also, it helps the people to identify the areas for improvement and evolve an action plan.Each year in every country around the world there are serious fire incidents and people will die or seriously injured due to the fire or resulting smoke. A contributing factor will be the inability to find safe passage to exit the building. The best approach to fire safety is to prevent fires in the first place. Proactive fire safety management helps to achieve this. When these incidents occur, protected escape routes that unobstructed along with established and well practiced fire safety management and evacuation plans are proven to reduce the likelihood of injuries and their impact.

Those in charge of buildings have a major role in understanding which fire safety measures are needed to comply with local building and fire safety codes. Proactive management is critical to ensuring that building users are aware of their responsibilities in applying those measures where relevant fire safety inspectors should ensure factory owners and users clearly understand their role in preventing fires and provide the means of proper guidance for occupants to safely evacuate a building in response to such an incident.

The Green audit process was begun in the 1970s with an intention of identifying the activities carried out in a given institution or company. This was initiated against the background of growing concern over changing climate and related aspects. Green audit is a tool to identify the range of environmental impacts and assess the compliance of the operations on the development and regular activities within an organisation. It may also assess the compatibility of the operations within an organisation or a company with existing applicable laws and regulations and the expectations of their various stakeholders. It further assesses the possible implications and effect of pollution due to the operations within the organisation. The audit also seeks to identify possible means and methods to save investments, enhance work quality, improve health and safety of their employees, reduce liabilities and reduce the rate of environmental pollution. A continuous process of such audit might result in maintaining the quality of these aspects within the premises of any organisation. Most companies, government and non-government bodies and other institutions conduct green audit aiming:

to ensure that the performance of the institution with respect to environmental activities they are involved in, is in compliance with existing laws and regulations.

To check the functionality and their operating success including water supply, energy related matters and other similar matters that are related to green operations in the campus

To formulate or update the institutions environmental policy, if warranted.

To measure the environmental impact of operational process related to green activities in the campus.

To measure the performance of each green related operations and actions in the campus.

To generate a database of green activities for continuous monitoring to assess the success of each of them.

to identify future potential liabilities.

to align the institutions developmental and day to day activities with the stated vision, mission, strategies, etc.

to identify possible ways to reduce expenditure and running costs on equipments, appliances, etc. or try enhance revenue income.

to improve process and materials efficiency, and in response to stakeholder requests for increased disclosure. The process of green audit based on operational activities within an institution happens not necessarily based on laws and regulations. It might be largely based on awareness and concerns on environmental performances within and outside the institutes premises. This further strengthens the fact regarding social responsibilities of the organisation. Majority of the institutions that conducted green audits in the recent past has realised the importance of the same as they could easily manage their operational costs and provide good atmosphere to their stakeholders. The green audit also provides opportunities to identify full range of operations within an organisation, the impacts of maintaining and functioning of its operational goods and services, the actual source of raw materials for different activities within the organisation, the costs of operations of its offices, functional units, and other facilities. It also provides chances to understand the relationship with employees, material suppliers, stakeholders, etc. The recommendations, findings and suggestions that emerge during green audit would certainly help the management of the organisation to set up future action plan that best suits to them.

A clean and healthy environment aids effective learning and provides a conducive learning environment. There are various efforts around the world to address environmental education issues. Environmental Management Systems (EMS) is very popular in the industrial sector, but the general belief is that EMS is something pertaining to industries only. Other parts of the world have started adopting compatible environmental management systems either voluntarily or for promoting standards by external certification. International environmental standards do not suit the existing Indian educational system. Hence EHS Alliance has developed a compatible system by developing locally applicable techniques. A very simple indigenized system has been devised to monitor the environmental performance of educational institutions. It comes with a series of questions to be answered on a regular basis. Environmental conditions may be monitored from angles that are relevant to Indian requirements, without stress on legal issues or compliance. This innovative scheme is user-friendly and totally voluntary. The environmental monitoring system helps the institution to set environmental examples for the community and to educate young learners. It can be adapted to urban and / or rural situations.

The broad aims/benefits of the eco-auditing system would be

Environmental education through systematic environmental management approach

Improving environmental standards

Benchmarking for environmental protection initiatives

Reduction in natural resource use and Economic savings through a reduction in resource use
