Check all exit lighting for proper installation and function
Check all interior lighting for proper installation and function
Check all exterior lighting for proper installation and function.
Replace any nonfunctional lamps you encounter. When lamps begin to fail, consider relamping them as a group. You can create a schedule for relamping by estimating the average duration of lamp use in a week or a month and comparing that to the expected service life of the lamp.
When replacing lamps, check that the color temperature to maintain consistency.
Dust and clean dirty lamps, and check that they’re aimed as intended.
Consider any luminaires that have transformers or control gear.
For exterior lighting, check that hardware and cabling is intact.

Check inventory and restock all first aid kits.
Check eyewash bottles and stations.
Ensure safety signs and equipment labels are in good condition.
Inspect and clean respirators.
Inspect fall protection harnesses and kits.
Change batteries in smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, flashlights and test instruments.

Clean the air intake if necessary.
Change all air filters according to your schedule.
Check blower motors in operation for excessive noise or vibration.
Clean motors and ductwork if necessary.
Check that the condensate drain pan is draining properly.
Check the flexible duct connectors.
Inspect and clean all exhaust fans.
Secure loose guards and panels.
Inspect all electrical connections and hardware.
Test all safety controls.
Check for proper operation of the interior unit.
During the cooling season:
Inspect the condenser motor bearings.

Check all refrigerant piping and insulation.
Secure any loose guards or access panels.
Check the operation of the exterior unit.
Inspect compressed air lines regularly; investigate any leaks in piping, tubing or fittings.
Replace or clean air filter elements at least quarterly, or as necessary depending on the application.
Monitor oil levels on air compressor pumps and replace as necessary depending on usage.

Examine the floors, ceilings and walls for evidence of deterioration.
Check for evidence of leaks.

Fire-test domestic water heaters and boilers according to a regular schedule. Optimize efficiency using flue-gas analysis to adjust the flue draft and combustion air input.
Lubricate condenser fan motor bearings on remote drinking water. Check contacts for wear, and run system control tests. Remove the refrigerant according to manufacturer instructions. Drain and replace oil in the compressor oil reservoir, including strainers, traps and filters.
Check function of sump and sewage ejection pumps. Lubricate exposed pumps according to a regular schedule.
