Heat and Smoke Venting Systems Checklist

This Aviva Loss Prevention Standard checklist guides the assessment, operation, and maintenance of heat and smoke venting systems in buildings. It covers completing a quantified risk assessment, understanding system actuation and interlocks, zoning and draft curtains, integration with sprinklers, and ensuring vents are not entrained into buildings. It prompts for accurate drawings, manual and emergency actuation, power-loss contingencies, and awareness by fire services and on-site response teams. Regular inspection, annual testing, and corrective actions for damage, debris, or weather-related obstruction are included, helping facilities enhance property protection and fire safety compliance.
