The most effective tool for determining fire safety standards at any facility is fire safety audit. Safety audits are carried out so that the lacuna’s can be identified and required steps for improvement can be taken. From developing an action plan, emergency preparedness and mock drills are some of the important steps, necessary for an EHS audit. Findings of fire safety audit is then published as a report which has some recommendations for any sort of non-compliance identified. The review presented identifies remedial actions as well which plays a key role for decision makers, helping them to organize for improvements. Periodic fire safety audits thus help in preventing loss of property and human lives to a great extent.
