Fire Protection Audits

Fire Protection Audits

How We Support Your Needs

In most cases, audits are initiated by a facility owner or manager to satisfy regulatory commitments, mandated by the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ); however, regular audits are an effective means of proactively improving fire and life safety programs, and can identify potential problems before they arise to the level of regulatory concern.

Building owners and operators typically have responsibility for sustaining compliance to protect life, property, and the environment in the event of a fire.

An audit measures a safety program against regional (e.g., provincial, state), national, and international codes and standards, and can be completed as part of a periodic or ongoing effort.
