Pre-Audit Preparation

Fire safety audits can be stressful for businesses. However, with proper preparation, you can navigate this process smoothly.

The following documents must be ready during an inspection:

Fire extinguisher maintenance reports — All maintenance records for the past 2 years
Fire detection system test reports — Annual test results
Emergency plan — Current evacuation plan and procedures
Training records — Staff fire training certificates
Insurance policy — Current fire insurance

One of the most common audit findings is incomplete or disorganized maintenance records. Using a digital tracking system eliminates this problem.

Extinguishers past their refill date can result in serious penalties. Automatic reminders prevent this risk.

Blocked access to extinguishers or improper mounting height are frequently encountered problems.

Exit route signs, extinguisher location markers, and emergency exit signs must be in working condition.

Are all extinguishers up to date on maintenance?

Are pressure gauges in the green zone?

Are extinguishers visible and accessible?

Are label details readable?

Are escape routes clear?

Are emergency exit signs illuminated?

Are fire hose cabinets operational?

Are staff training records current?

Are evacuation plans posted in visible locations?

Are emergency contact numbers up to date?
