A Fire Safety Audit is an examination of your business’ premises and relevant documents by fire safety inspectors, to ascertain how your premises are being managed with regards to fire safety.
During the audit, officers may speak to some of your employees to ensure their fire safety awareness is at the level you proclaimed.
Why do it?
Fire Safety Audits are usually pre-arranged and can be conducted for a number of reasons:
A complaint
A fire
A follow-up audit
On request, i.e. if an owner or occupier requests an audit
In conjunction with other authorities, i.e. if you’ve submitted a premises license application.
