Audit Needs
When Kawartha Lakes properties need a fire safety audit
An audit is helpful when the team knows fire safety records need attention but the next steps are not yet organized.
Documents are scattered
Fire safety plans, inspection reports, testing records, training files, drill notes, deficiencies, and maintenance records may sit in several places.
Site routines change by season
Guest use, public programming, staffing, contractor access, seasonal openings, renovations, or tenant changes can leave older documents behind.
Responsibilities are unclear
Supervisors, facility contacts, hospitality staff, property teams, wardens, tenants, and service providers may not have clearly documented roles.
Follow-up lacks a sequence
Inspection findings, drill observations, missing records, training gaps, and plan updates need to be sorted into practical priorities.
