This industrial vacant inspection checklist helps property and facilities teams assess safety, security, and maintenance risks in empty industrial sites. Review fire exits, extinguishers, and hose reels; ensure waste is cleared and buildings are free from impact damage. Check fencing, signage, and site lighting; confirm edge protection and guarding are secure and in good condition. Monitor pest control and clear gully drains. Identify trip hazards and verify roller shutters and access doors operate safely. Keep common areas unobstructed, plant rooms and restricted areas locked, signage clean, and winter risks managed with salting. Inspect roads, pavements, landings, and stairwells for damage and ensure handrails are secure.
