Which method is NOT used for determining inspection priorities?

Randomized selection is not a method typically used for determining inspection priorities in fire prevention. The primary purpose of prioritizing inspections is to ensure that resources are allocated efficiently and effectively, focusing on the highest-risk areas and situations.

Permit models, inspection models, and risk assessments are all systematic approaches to evaluating and prioritizing inspections based on the likelihood of fire occurrences and potential impacts. Permit models take into account the type of activity being conducted under a permit and its associated risks. Inspection models can analyze various factors, such as past incident history or fire hazards related to specific structures, to determine how frequently inspections should occur. Risk assessment evaluates the likelihood and consequences of fire hazards to prioritize inspections based on their severity.

In contrast, randomized selection does not consider these risk factors or historical data and lacks the targeted approach needed for effective fire prevention strategies. By not utilizing data-driven assessments, randomized selection could lead to inspections that do not adequately address the highest risks, potentially compromising fire safety.
