What Is A Fire Safety Inspection?

Fire safety inspections are a check of all fire safety procedures, installations and records within a building to determine compliance with appropriate legislation and regulations. The Queensland Fire and Rescue Service (QFRS) undertake two levels of fire safety inspections of all types of buildings to ensure that they comply with the relevant fire safety legislation. A Level 1 inspection, known as a fire safety inspection, is a visual check of fire safety in a building using a standard fire safety inspection checklist of legislative requirements.

A Level 2 inspection, known as a fire safety survey, is an assessment of the building against all legislative requirements, a check of evacuation instructions given to staff and residents, a check of the records of maintenance of fire safety installations and an operational test of those fires.
