What documentation should be maintained by a Fire Guard?

The maintenance of logs of inspections, incidents, training records, and impairment communications is crucial for a Fire Guard. This documentation provides a comprehensive overview of the fire safety status of a facility, including proactive measures taken to ensure safety as well as any incidents that may have occurred.

By keeping logs of inspections, Fire Guards can track compliance with fire safety regulations and ensure that all safety equipment is functioning properly. Incident records are vital for understanding past events and informing future safety strategies. Training records demonstrate that staff are knowledgeable and prepared to respond to fire emergencies. Additionally, impairment communications provide a trail of any temporary changes in fire safety measures due to maintenance or other factors, ensuring all personnel are informed about the current state of fire protection.

In contrast, other documentation such as daily weather conditions, traffic reports, or limited records of attendance to fire drills do not directly contribute to the overall fire safety management required of a Fire Guard. Blueprints of the building and its fire systems, while useful in certain contexts, do not encompass the complete scope of documentation responsibilities.
