Building safety checklists
in progress
John Fagan
New checklists cover the duty-holder routine check cycle for building safety equipment — these are the checks your team carries out, not the statutory contractor inspections.
Fire and life safety — routine checks for fire extinguishers (monthly), fire alarms, CO alarms, smoke and heat detectors, fire doors, fire blankets, and emergency lighting.
Emergency equipment — routine defibrillator and first aid kit checks.
Access and heating — routine lift, ladder and access equipment checks, plus an annual boiler check.
Water and Legionella — five checklists covering water outlets, calorifiers, cold water storage tanks, thermostatic mixing valves, and showers, with numeric temperature fields and advisory Legionella thresholds noted in the help text.
All building safety checklists use colour-coded responses that describe what you actually see — from a clear pass through to a critical fault — and the response you pick forms the defect automatically. Mark a fire extinguisher as Safety Pin Missing and a "Fire extinguisher — Safety Pin Missing" defect is raised with no extra input from the inspector.
