3. Methodology

The assessment was carried out through both visual inspections and functional tests. Surveys were also conducted among employees to gauge their awareness and preparedness for fire-related emergencies.

Inspection Procedure

1. Inspection Schedule

Bi-annual inspections are the standard, with interim inspections scheduled following any significant changes to the building structure or function, such as renovations or installation of new machinery.

The inspection is led by a certified fire safety officer, with representatives from HR, facility management, and the local fire department present.

3. Tools and Equipment

Tools such as thermal imaging cameras, fire extinguisher testing kits, and fire door gauge kits were used during the inspection process.

Findings

1. Risk Areas

High-risk areas include chemical storage, kitchenettes, and areas near electrical panels. Special attention must be paid to these sections to ensure maximum safety.

2. Safe Areas

Areas like the office spaces and conference rooms were observed to be relatively safer due to the higher accessibility to fire safety equipment and trained personnel.

3. Overall Assessment

The overall state of fire safety within the organization is adequate but has room for improvement, especially in the high-risk areas.

Recommendations
