Assess means of egress, fire compartments, evacuation strategy, detection and alarm, water supply, pumps, sprinklers, emergency power, fire service access, disabled occupant assistance and defend-in-place arrangements where applicable. Hospitals additionally require patient-dependency and clinical-continuity assessments. Requirements depend on occupancy, height, approval conditions and adopted law.
Enforcement and evidence
Competent authorities may require inspections, remedial actions, approvals and licensing evidence. Potential sanctions vary by enactment; no specific penalty is claimed without a verified statutory section. Keep an obligation register with issuing authority, source, effective date, site applicability, owner, inspection evidence, deficiencies and closure.
