Key Self-Inspection Areas

• Exit / Egress Requirements – Keep exits unlocked, illuminated, and free of storage or obstructions. Ensure exit signs and emergency lighting function properly.
• Fire Protection Systems – Verify that fire extinguishers, kitchen hood suppression systems, and alarms are serviced, tagged, and accessible.
• Fire Doors – Fire doors should close and latch properly, remain unobstructed, and never be propped open with wedges or blocks.
• Hazardous Materials – Store flammable liquids and cleaning chemicals in approved containers and cabinets away from ignition sources.
• Electrical Safety – Avoid overloaded outlets and daisy-chained power strips. Replace damaged cords and keep electrical panels accessible.
• Housekeeping – Maintain clean cooking areas, floors, and storage spaces. Remove excess grease, clutter, and unnecessary combustibles.
• Miscellaneous Safety Items – Confirm clear access to fire department connections, visible address numbers, and proper storage of gas cylinders and other special hazards.
