Audit Needs
When Lethbridge sites need a building audit
A building audit is useful when the team needs a practical picture of current conditions instead of disconnected comments and unresolved items.
Known issues need priority
Deficiencies around exits, storage, doors, extinguishers, emergency lighting, records, service rooms, or system access may need clearer ranking.
Several departments affect follow-up
Campus, healthcare, civic, employer, maintenance, contractor, and service teams may each own part of the solution.
The building has changed slowly
New programs, department moves, patient or student needs, storage changes, public access, or employer activity can affect conditions.
Leadership needs a clearer action path
A practical audit separates immediate items, housekeeping issues, documentation gaps, training needs, and longer-term improvements.
Audit Scope
Fire and life safety audit support for Lethbridge properties
The audit can be focused or broad depending on the building, the concerns, and the level of documentation the team needs.
Condition review
Review visible fire and life safety conditions, access issues, egress concerns, housekeeping items, signage, and common system access gaps.
Records review
Look at available fire safety plans, drill records, training records, inspection notes, deficiency lists, and annual review materials.
Responsibility mapping

- Agriculture-linked employers and workplaces benefit when audit findings are clear enough for managers, workers, contractors, and service providers to act on.
Documentation

Lethbridge Building Audit FAQ
Questions Lethbridge teams ask about building audits
What is the purpose of a fire safety building audit?
The purpose is to give the team a clearer view of current conditions, records, deficiencies, responsibility, and practical next steps.
Can an audit focus on only part of a campus or facility?
Yes. The review can focus on priority areas, public spaces, clinical areas, labs, service rooms, tenant spaces, or concerns identified by the team.
Does an audit replace regular inspection or maintenance?
No. An audit helps organize gaps and priorities, while required inspection, testing, maintenance, and corrective work still need to be completed by the appropriate parties.
