Service Overview
What Is a Fire Adequacy Survey?
A fire adequacy survey evaluates whether the available fire and life-safety arrangements are reasonably suited to the facility’s occupancy, layout, hazards and emergency needs. It considers the relationship between detection, alarm, firefighting systems, escape routes, high-risk areas, maintenance evidence and emergency organisation.
The survey supports informed improvement planning but does not itself issue or replace a statutory Fire NOC. Applicable criteria and scope boundaries are confirmed before mobilisation.

Deliverables
Clear Outputs for Improvement Planning
| Area | Assessment Question | Management Use |
|---|---|---|
| Detection and alarm | Can a credible fire be detected and communicated promptly? | Coverage and readiness actions |
| Firefighting systems | Are provisions suitable for the hazard and reasonably available? | Immediate and planned upgrades |
| Means of escape | Can occupants reach a safe place under expected conditions? | Life-safety priorities |
| Emergency organisation | Are roles, communication and drills effective? | Preparedness improvement |
Scope Limitations
The standard survey combines observation, discussion and available-record review. It does not automatically include destructive testing, statutory certification, hydraulic design calculations, discharge testing, thermography, structural assessment or detailed engineering unless expressly included.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How is a fire adequacy survey different from a fire safety audit?
The agreed scope determines the distinction. An adequacy survey focuses strongly on whether protection and life-safety arrangements suit the occupancy and hazards, while an audit may examine broader compliance and management controls.
Does the survey provide a Fire NOC?
No. A Fire NOC is issued by the relevant authority. The survey can identify improvement needs but does not replace statutory approval.
Are maintenance records reviewed?
Yes. Relevant available inspection, testing and defect-closure records are reviewed within scope.
Can multiple locations be surveyed?
Yes. Common criteria can be applied while preserving location-specific findings and priorities.
How are findings prioritised?
Credible consequence, exposure, system reliability and corrective-action urgency guide prioritisation.
Is follow-up verification available?
Yes. Targeted closure review or periodic support can be included separately.
