Fire and Life Safety Checklist

This fire and life safety checklist helps facility teams inspect critical life-safety elements across buildings. It covers clear and unlocked exits, unobstructed corridors and stairways, illuminated exit signs, and working emergency lighting. Housekeeping controls include managing combustibles, oily rags, and flammable liquids, with required clearances around sprinkler heads and equipment rooms. Fire prevention and protection checks include evacuation plans, alarm testing, sprinkler and generator maintenance, smoke detector placement, access to fire protection equipment, and annual extinguisher inspections. Electrical safety items verify proper cord use, wiring condition, GFCIs, and protected multi-plug adapters. Hazardous materials sections confirm SDS availability and hazard signage. Use this checklist to spot hazards, assign corrective actions, document compliance, and improve building safety readiness.
