What systems are designed to ensure safety from fire hazards in buildings?

Fire/Life Safety Systems are specifically designed to protect occupants and property from the hazards associated with fire. These systems encompass a range of safety measures, including fire alarm systems, sprinkler systems, fire extinguishers, smoke detection systems, and emergency lighting. Their primary function is to detect fires, alert occupants, control the spread of fire, and facilitate safe evacuation.

While other systems such as electrical systems contribute to overall building safety and governance involves management and regulatory aspects, they do not focus primarily on fire safety. Trades refer to the skilled labor involved in construction and maintenance but do not represent systems intended to mitigate fire hazards. Fire/Life Safety Systems, therefore, stand out as the dedicated components that specifically address fire prevention, detection, suppression, and occupant safety.
