Fire extinguishers

• Extinguishers are on the walls at their marked places, not blocked by goods or furniture.
• Every extinguisher has a current maintenance tag and the pressure gauge needle is in the green zone.
• The type matches the hazard: CO2 near electrical panels, Class K in kitchens that use cooking oil.

Fire alarm and detection

• The fire alarm panel shows normal status with no fault or disabled zones.
• Smoke and heat detectors are not covered, painted or removed after renovation work.
• Manual call points and sounders are visible and not blocked.

Exits and escape routes

• Emergency exits open easily and are not locked or chained during working hours.
• Corridors and stairs are clear of storage and obstacles.
• Exit signs are lit and point the right way.
• The evacuation plan is posted where staff and visitors can see it.

Emergency lighting

• Emergency lights turn on when normal power is cut (test with the test button).
• Batteries of emergency lights and exit signs hold for the test period.

Firefighting systems

• Fire hose cabinets are accessible, with the hose rolled and the valve closed and not leaking.
• Sprinkler heads are not painted, covered or blocked by goods stacked too close.
• If there is a fire pump room, the pumps are on automatic and the room is clean.

Electrical and gas

Documents

• Copies of the maintenance contract and the latest maintenance reports for the fire systems are available.
• The licence or certificate details on the Salamah platform match the activity and the shop sign.
