Fire and safety inspections are conducted throughout the campus on a regular basis. This includes the checking of fire fighting equipment and alarms, to ensure that all systems and equipment are in a constant state of readiness. These inspections are coordinated efforts by the Security & Traffic Division on their normal rounds and the Physical Plant Department on a scheduled basis. Inspections are also conducted periodically by the Public Safety Branch, formerly the Provincial Fire Marshal's Office, and the Fire Prevention Office of the Fredericton Fire Department. The University Joint Health & Safety Committee conducts general safety inspections of all buildings on an ongoing basis, ensuring each area is audited at least annually.
