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
