• Verify compliance with applicable fire safety codes and life safety requirements.
• Inspect fire suppression systems for proper installation and operational readiness.
• Review sprinkler systems, extinguishing equipment, and associated fire protection components.
• Inspect fire alarm systems and verify appropriate functionality.
• Assess emergency exits, escape routes, and means of egress.
• Confirm that exit pathways remain accessible, adequately identified, and suitable for occupancy requirements.
