Building Life Safety Audit Checklist

by John van Niekerk, from the Community

This life safety audit checklist helps facilities teams evaluate building fire protection and emergency preparedness. Inspect smoke detection coverage, fire alarm audibility and testing, exit route integrity, door ratings and integrations, staircase pressurization and break glass points. Verify availability and servicing of firefighting equipment and hose reels. Review emergency lighting and escape signage, UPS backed circuits, and testing records. Assess electrical infrastructure, including HV incomers, substations, transformers, main switchgear, distribution to critical and non critical areas, load versus capacity, and compliance documentation. Capture findings, responsibilities, and corrective actions to ensure regulatory compliance and occupant safety.
