What is a Fire Safety Audit?

A Fire Safety Audit is a structured evaluation of a facility’s fire protection systems, building infrastructure and operating procedures. It identifies gaps that could increase the likelihood or impact of a fire incident.

Agni Suraksha reviews detection, suppression, evacuation and management controls against the requirements relevant to your site—including NBC, BIS, NFPA and state fire-safety regulations—to help protect people, assets and continuity of operations.

Audit Scope

Key components we assess

A practical review of the systems and controls that determine fire readiness.

Fire Detection Systems

Assessment of smoke detectors, heat sensors and alarm systems against applicable detection requirements, including NFPA 72.

Fire-Fighting Equipment

Evaluation of extinguishers, hydrants, sprinklers and pumps, with reference to applicable standards such as NFPA 10 and NFPA 13.

Emergency Evacuation

Verification of exit routes, signage, emergency lighting and evacuation preparedness with reference to life-safety requirements.

Infrastructure & Electrical Review

Review of fire separation, fire load, electrical installations and other building conditions that can influence fire risk.

Documentation Review

Verification of compliance records, maintenance logs, inspection schedules, permits and emergency procedures.

Detailed Reporting

Clear findings, a compliance matrix and prioritised corrective-action recommendations for practical implementation.

Compliance

Standards & regulations

Applicable fire-safety requirements are assessed based on the facility, occupancy, operations and site-specific legal context.

Risk Review

Hazard identification & risk assessment

The audit process examines fire hazards, their likely consequences and the urgency of corrective action required.

Typical hazard categories

  • Electrical hazards: overloaded circuits, faulty wiring and inadequate earthing
  • Chemical hazards: storage of flammable materials and incompatible substances
  • Structural hazards: blocked exits, inadequate fire separation and combustible materials
  • Mechanical hazards: hot-work areas and equipment malfunction risks
  • Human factors: smoking controls, housekeeping, training and emergency preparedness gaps

Risk review is typically prioritised by severity, likelihood and the speed at which actions need to be implemented.

Risk-priority guide

Corrective actions are prioritised by the assessed level of risk.
