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.

The main focus of these fire safety audits is:
