# Fire safety inspections that identify risks before they become incidents.

SHEQX® by XGRC® enables organisations to perform structured fire safety inspections using practical, real-world checklists. Capture findings in real time, assign corrective actions, and monitor fire safety compliance across all sites.

**Frameworks:** ISO 45001, ISO 14001, ISO 9001

## Unstructured fire safety checks leave organisations exposed.

When fire safety inspections are paper-based and findings are not tracked centrally, risks go unaddressed and compliance cannot be demonstrated.

- Fire equipment not regularly inspected or maintained
- Emergency exits found obstructed during audits
- Poor visibility of fire safety risks across sites
- Inspections performed inconsistently with no central record

## Frequently asked questions

### What is a fire safety inspection checklist?

A fire safety inspection checklist is a structured tool for verifying fire equipment, emergency exits and fire safety risks during a site inspection, so gaps are identified before they become incidents rather than discovered during an audit.

### Does the checklist cover emergency exits and evacuation routes?

Yes. It covers fire equipment inspection, emergency exits and evacuation routes, fire alarm systems, flammable materials storage, housekeeping and ignition sources, and electrical safety.

### How are fire safety findings tracked to resolution?

Findings are captured with supporting evidence and corrective actions are assigned immediately, so an obstructed exit or a faulty extinguisher is tracked to a verified fix, not just noted in a report.

### Which standards does the fire safety inspection checklist align to?

The checklist aligns to ISO 45001, ISO 14001 and ISO 9001, the same standards SHEQX® supports across the rest of its safety management scope.
