What is an important factor for frequency of rounds conducted by a Fire Guard?

The frequency of rounds conducted by a Fire Guard is significantly influenced by the requirements outlined in the fire safety plan. Each facility’s fire safety plan is designed based on specific risks, occupancy type, and fire prevention strategies tailored to that environment. Compliance with this plan ensures that potential fire hazards are actively monitored, and safety measures are implemented effectively.

While factors such as the time of day, weather conditions, and the size of the building can play a role in how rounds are conducted, they do not unilaterally dictate the frequency as the fire safety plan does. The plan typically includes guidelines that specify how often rounds should be made to maintain safety standards and address identified vulnerabilities. Regular checks according to the plan help ensure prompt detection of any fire hazards and adherence to regulatory requirements, ultimately enhancing the safety of the premises.
