Who conducts the monthly inspection of fire and safety?

The qualified fire and safety officer is responsible for conducting the monthly inspection of fire and safety. This individual is specially trained and knowledgeable about fire safety protocols, regulations, and standards. Their expertise enables them to identify potential hazards, ensure that all safety equipment is functional, and verify compliance with local and national fire codes. This role is crucial for maintaining a safe environment and proactively addressing any issues that could lead to a fire or safety incident.

While on-duty guards may have some basic knowledge of safety protocols, they do not have the specialized training required to conduct thorough inspections. Similarly, prison administration may oversee safety policies but typically lacks the specific qualifications to carry out detailed safety inspections. Outside safety consultants may conduct assessments but are usually contracted for specific projects rather than performing regular monthly inspections. Thus, the qualified fire and safety officer is the appropriate choice for this critical responsibility.
