Outsourcing of Fire Inspection Services: An Analytical Approach
Outsourcing of business activities is a growing trend, for better working and on-time completion of tasks. This trend has also attracted our governments and government departments like fire and safety department. Despite the growing trend of outsourcing, sensitive areas like fire and safety department, licensing of fire safety, and change management needed to be carefully researched. Attempts have been made in all the related fields but fewer attempts are made for the purpose of assessing the pros and cons of the fire and safety department starts outsourcing its activities here, an attempt has been made to systematically review and incorporate findings from previous surveys, research trends, analytic hierarchy process analysis and to assess the current state of research regarding this subject. Fire-related incidents and mishappenings pose a severe environmental threat since they affect the climate as well as ecology. Adverse weather conditions result in an increase in fire-related incidents making the relationship two-faceted. The environment affects the frequency and extent of fire-related incidents and these incidents further affect the environment in various ways.
