This Utilities (UM) Environment of Care checklist helps hospitals audit critical utilities and safety systems. It covers electrical device safety, adequate and labeled receptacles, use of emergency power, GFCI in wet areas, safe power strip use, and task lighting at generators and transfer switches. Verify hot water temperatures (105–120 F), required pressure relationships, and that mechanical/electrical spaces are free of combustibles. Check firestopping, sprinkler components, exit signage visibility, and battery-powered egress lighting. Includes space for additional comments.

Fire and Life Safety EOC Inspection Checklist
This Fire and Life Safety EOC inspection checklist, revised in 2020, helps healthcare facilities assess compliance across critical safety elements. Verify fire extinguishers are visible, accessible, and serviced. Confirm staff familiarity with pull stations and that detectors and sprinkler heads are intact, with required clearances maintained. Check that exits, corridors, and stairs are free of obstructions, and that prohibited locking mechanisms are not used. Validate exit signage, battery backups, and emergency lighting. Review smoke barriers, fire rated, hazardous area, and corridor doors for labeling, self closing, and positive latching. Use this tool to identify risk likelihood and scope, record findings, and improve life safety readiness in hospitals and clinics.
