Fire Hazard Classification

Fire hazard classification is a method of categorizing spaces or facilities based on their fire risk. The classifications typically range from low hazard (e.g., residential areas) to high hazard (e.g., chemical processing plants). This classification informs fire protection strategies and code compliance.

Fire Safety Audits

Fire safety audits are comprehensive assessments of a structure's fire safety measures. They involve a detailed examination of fire protection systems, evacuation plans, and hazard mitigation strategies. Fire safety audits are proactive approaches to identifying and addressing potential fire hazards.

Fire Hazard Software

Specialized software tools are available for fire hazard assessment. These tools can model fire scenarios, assess fire loads, and identify potential hazards. They provide valuable insights for fire protection engineers in designing effective fire safety measures.
