The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) Public Buildings Service (PBS) Region 9 Fire Protection and Safety Branch requires that fire protection facility assessments are required to be conducted.  The Region 9 Fire Protection and Safety Branch is responsible for ensuring all Federal buildings are provided with an adequate level of safety. The Fire Protection surveys are required to ensure GSA owned and leased buildings are in compliance with all applicable International Code Council (ICC), International Building Code (IBC), National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Codes and Standards and GSA guidelines.  The intent of the survey is to conduct a risk assessment of the building, its life safety systems, along with the operation & maintenance operations.

The purpose of conducting the fire protection survey is to analyze buildings, including occupancies and intended use, to determine the risk of injury, loss of life, property, or interruption of Federal tenant mission because of fire and/or safety concerns. The assessment is to address the effects of these conditions on the safe and healthful work environment for Federal employees and the visiting public. Conducting the Fire Protection surveys requires a licensed fire protection engineer and/or inspection team to inspect buildings and building Fire Protection systems.
