Exits

The exit area should be clear to everyone. There must be no blockage or obstruction so that there can be free movement in case of any emergency or accident. People must get free spaces to evacuate the region and hence the exit must be taken care of.

Housekeeping

Every area of the house or the office should be in its correct order and sanitary condition must be maintained. If the power and data cables are cluttered, you must secure them and ensure they are fine.

Exit lights

The exit lights should be very clearly visible and the light must be operational throughout the year.

Fire doors

The fire doors must be taken good care of. Normally, they must be closed and should lead to staircases. They should not be propped open as they might have dire consequences in case of fire within the building.

Open flames

The instructions must be clear regarding what kind of open flames can be used within the premises. If the candles or other flame products and devices are allowed within the building, the instructions must clearly highlight it. There can also be other specific requirements mentioned about using them.

Electrical and mechanical rooms

The electrical and mechanical rooms must always be used for the purpose they are meant for. They cannot be used as a substitute for the storage room. There should not be any tables or chairs in it neither should people spend leisure time there.
