Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University (GGSIPU) will be offering a new Post Graduate Diploma in Fire and Life Safety Audit from the upcoming academic session. GGSIPU will be offering this programme in collaboration with the National Fire Service College in Nagpur.

While talking about the newly introduced programme on Fire and Life Safety Audit, GGSIPU vice-chancellor Mahesh Verma gave examples of recent fire tragedies like Arpit Hotel fire in Delhi, Anaj Mandi fire, and Takshila Arcade in Surat. He further added that any fire has the potential of causing severe damage to life and property. The ever-increasing population in metropolitan cities and crowded localities are always under heavy fire risk. The congested area generally under risk of heavy fire. Calling a ‘fire and life safety audit’ the most effective tool for assessing fire safety standards, he explained the importance of the programme.

The vice-chancellor explained the necessity of the programme in terms of Indian context. He further said that this Post Graduate Diploma will provide a standard procedure to conduct fire and life safety audit as per the requirement and need.

The Government’s fire safety advisor, DK Sharma, stated that the auditors don’t use any standard format or methodology to conduct the fire and safety audit. This is why auditors conduct audits as per the information available to them according to the requirement of the fire officer. He also expressed that the course will not only help fire safety officers but (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing) MEP consultants as well.
