### Commercial Building Fire Safety Inspection Checklist Template

Maintaining fire safety compliance in commercial buildings isn't just a regulatory requirement—it's a critical responsibility that protects lives and property. Whether you're a property manager, facility coordinator, fire safety officer, or building inspector, this **Commercial Building Fire Safety Inspection Checklist** streamlines your entire inspection process into one comprehensive, easy-to-use form.

#### Built for property managers and safety professionals

This template is designed specifically for commercial property management teams, facility managers, fire marshals, and safety consultants who need to conduct regular fire safety inspections across office buildings, retail spaces, warehouses, and multi-tenant facilities. Instead of juggling paper checklists, clipboards, and manual data entry, you can complete thorough inspections on any device and generate instant reports that demonstrate compliance to stakeholders, insurance providers, and regulatory bodies.

#### Comprehensive coverage of critical fire safety systems

The checklist covers all essential fire safety components required for commercial building compliance:

 - **Emergency exit verification** – Document exit signage, door functionality, obstruction checks, and panic hardware operation
 - **Sprinkler system testing** – Record pressure readings, valve positions, control panel status, and visual inspections
 - **Fire extinguisher location mapping** – Track placement, accessibility, inspection tags, pressure levels, and maintenance due dates
 - **Alarm and detection systems** – Verify smoke detectors, heat sensors, pull stations, and audio-visual alarms
 - **Emergency lighting** – Test backup lighting and exit illumination systems
 - **Fire doors and barriers** – Inspect fire-rated doors, self-closing mechanisms, and fire-resistant walls

#### Conditional logic that adapts to your findings

Paperform's smart conditional logic means the form adapts based on your responses. If you mark an item as non-compliant or requiring attention, additional fields appear to capture photos, detailed descriptions, and recommended corrective actions. This ensures nothing falls through the cracks and creates a clear action plan for follow-up.

#### Photo documentation and evidence capture

Use Paperform's image upload fields to document issues on-site. Capture photos of blocked exits, damaged equipment, missing signage, or any safety concerns directly within the inspection form. All images are stored securely alongside your inspection data, creating a complete visual record for reporting and remediation tracking.

#### Automate your inspection workflow with Stepper

Once an inspection is submitted, use [Stepper](https://stepper.io) to automatically route findings to the right teams. Create workflows that notify maintenance staff of urgent issues, schedule follow-up inspections, update your facility management software, or generate PDF reports and send them to building owners, insurance providers, or compliance officers. Stepper's AI-native automation means you can set up complex routing rules without writing a single line of code.

#### Mobile-friendly for on-site inspections

Conduct inspections directly from your smartphone or tablet as you walk through the building. The responsive design works perfectly on any device, and inspections can be completed offline and synced when you're back in range—ideal for large facilities or basement-level equipment rooms where connectivity may be limited.

#### Trusted by property management teams worldwide

Paperform is SOC 2 Type II compliant and trusted by over 500,000 teams globally. Your inspection data is stored securely with enterprise-grade protection, and you can control exactly who has access through roles and permissions.
