Which of the following statements best describes the final outcome for a home safety survey?

• A. Issue code violations.
• B. Review the results of the survey with the homeowner.
• C. Notify your fire marshal of code issues.
• D. Stress the importance of supporting the local fire department.

Answer: (B)

The main idea is to turn findings into understanding and action for the homeowner. After a home safety survey, the most important final step is to review the results with the homeowner, walk through what was found, explain the risks, and prioritize the recommended fixes. This keeps the homeowner informed, helps them know what to do first, and sets up a plan or follow-up to improve safety. If there are code violations, those are handled through the proper authorities rather than as the survey’s end product, and notifying the fire marshal is an enforcement action that happens through separate channels. Emphasizing support for the local fire department, while valuable, isn’t the immediate outcome of the survey itself.
