Where should the required standpipe/sprinkler system inspection report be kept?

The required standpipe/sprinkler system inspection report should be kept at the main water control valve. This location is strategically chosen because it is a critical point within the firefighting system. In the event of a fire, emergency responders, such as firefighters, will likely access the main control valve to shut off the water supply or to ensure that the system is operational. Having the inspection report readily available at this location allows them to quickly verify the status and maintenance history of the standpipe and sprinkler systems during an emergency response. This practice enhances safety and efficiency, ensuring that responders have immediate access to vital information regarding the system's condition and any potential issues that may have been identified during inspections.

The other potential locations, while they may seem practical in some contexts, do not provide the same level of immediate accessibility for emergency personnel when they are responding to a fire incident. Therefore, keeping the report at the main water control valve is the most effective practice for ensuring safety and streamlined firefighting efforts.
