A Building Fire Safety Survey is a survey conducted to assess the safety of a building in the event of a fire. It evaluates the potential fire hazards and safety measures that are in place to prevent and respond to a fire. The survey includes an inspection of the structure and equipment, such as smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, and emergency exits, as well as an assessment of fire safety protocols and procedures. The survey aims to identify potential risks and provide recommendations for reducing them. It is an important step in ensuring that a building is properly equipped to protect occupants in the event of a fire.
