Form 5381 PDF Details

In environments where the safety of individuals and the integrity of structures are paramount, meticulous attention to fire risk management is crucial. The DA Form 5381, known as the Building - Fire Risk Management Survey, emerges as a vital instrument in this arena. Originating under the directive of AR 420-1, with the Assistant Chief of Staff for Installation Management (ACSIM) as its proponent agency, this form encapsulates a comprehensive checklist for evaluating potential fire hazards within a building or specified area. From ensuring the proper functioning and servicing of fire extinguishers to evaluating the procedures for handling flammable materials, the form covers a wide array of safety considerations. Details such as building occupancy, organizational responsibility, and the date of inspection are methodically recorded, alongside an inspection checklist that probes into housekeeping practices, electrical safety, heating equipment, and even the specific constructions of the building that could bear on its susceptibility to fire. Also integral to the survey are assessments of life safety codes, storage of hazardous materials, and the presence of special hazards, making the DA Form 5381 an indispensable tool for fire safety officers, facility managers, and safety personnel dedicated to mitigating fire risks in their environments.
