Overview of Monthly Facility Inspection


 * No holes in walls and ceilings
 * Fire extinguishers up-to-date (see chart below)
 * These must be checked annually. The tags must reflect an inspection has been performed in the calendar year.
 * Aisles and exits maintain 42" clearance at all times
 * Electrical panels must have 48" clearance all around
 * Exit lighting marked
 * Fire exits must be lit with a clearly defined lighted exit sign with battery backup. These units are powered from house power and should stay on at all times.
 * Maintain a well-thought-out (and probably documented) fire exit plan
 * Flammable materials kept off site or in flammable materials locker
 * Flammable materials include oil-based paint, alcohols, white gas, etc. We don't really have any flammable materials to speak of at Free Geek.
 * Don't daisy chain power cords
 * This means that 1 extension cord to 1 power strip is acceptable, but 2 extension cords linked or 2 power strips linked isn't acceptable.
 * No exposed electrical wiring
