The Importance of Inspecting Your Fire Escape

When it comes to building safety, few components are as critical—and often overlooked—as the fire escape. Whether you’re a property owner, landlord, or building manager, ensuring that your fire escape is in optimal condition could mean the difference between life and death in an emergency.

Why Regular Fire Escape Inspections Matter

Fire escapes are exposed to the elements year-round, which can lead to rust, corrosion, weakened bolts, and structural instability over time. A neglected fire escape not only poses a serious safety hazard but may also put you at risk of violating local fire codes and safety regulations. In many cities, regular inspections are required by law to certify that fire escapes are safe and functional.

What Can Go Wrong?

• Corrosion and Rust – Over time, moisture and weather exposure can deteriorate metal components, weakening the structure.

• Loose or Broken Bolts – Missing or damaged fasteners can compromise the escape’s ability to support weight during an emergency.

• Debris and Obstructions – Fire escapes must be clear and accessible; clutter or plant overgrowth can hinder evacuation efforts.

• Paint Build-up – Excessive layers of paint can mask structural damage or rust, hiding serious safety issues.
