Now that Spring has sprung, it is a good time to review your facility for safety, security and deferred maintenance.

Reviewing a checklist for your facility is an easy way to make sure you have prevented problems before they occur. Stopping a small leak, or fixing a bad door or gate can help to prevent a loss or unhappy customer.

Here is a quick checklist you may use when doing a spring facility survey:

  1. Safety
    Exit signs
    Fire extinguishers
    First aid kit
    Smoke & CO2 alarms
  2. Roof inspection – dents, leaks or rust
    Gutters/ downspouts – clean
  3. Security systems
    Gates
    Check for operation
    Chain tensioning & lubrication
    Keypads
    Cameras
    Functioning
    Recording
    Alarms
  4. HVAC
    Change filters
    Check for debris around units
  5. Siding
    check for dents or damage
  6. Driveways
    Remove any sand or cinders from snow removal activities
