The Life Safety Analysis is an intense review of the entire facility to determine what if any situations would have a negative impact on human life, or a propensity for injury, in the event of an emergency condition or during day today operations.  This analysis starts with the physical structure and it’s features of life safety. The occupancy classification is then reviewed for inherent hazards. A physical inspection of the facility and the conditions within the building determines the storage, handling, use and treatment of materials and processes that could increase the likelihood of an incident occurring.  Operational features and processes along with operational procedures often reveal conditions that may require attention. The analysis often reveals a series of activities or conditions that are documented in a written report along with accompanying recommendations for action to alter or abate these situations. The type and size of the facility often determine the length of time required as well as the potential cost factors. These factors can then be weighed against the negative costs of incidents or injuries.
