Emergency Lighting Inspection Form
Failed emergency lighting puts lives at risk. Document every fitting's test result before a real emergency proves the gap.
Emergency lighting inspections done on paper produce records that are inconsistent and difficult to present during a compliance audit. An unrecorded failed fitting becomes a safety liability the moment building power goes out during an emergency. Typeform's emergency lighting inspection template gives facilities teams a consistent, digital way to document every test result on any device.
The checklist covers fitting location, function test results, battery condition, lamp status, duration test results, and emergency exit sign compliance. Each item appears on its own, so inspectors work through the building zone by zone without losing their place. Conditional logic surfaces fault description and maintenance fields when a fitting fails its test. A failed lamp triggers fault and remedial action fields, so every non-compliance item comes with documented next steps.
Customize the form to match your building's zones, fitting types, local compliance standards, and inspection frequency. Complete it on-site from any device, share results via direct link, or submit it to your compliance portal. Completed inspections log in Google Sheets or Airtable via Zapier, so your team tracks open faults and test history across every building. Know every fitting's status before an evacuation depends on it, not after.
An emergency lighting inspection form is a structured digital checklist used by facilities teams to record the status of all emergency lighting fittings during a scheduled compliance test. It captures test results, battery condition, lamp status, fault descriptions, and required remedial actions for every fitting across a building or site. It functions as the compliance record your organization presents during fire safety audits and regulatory inspections.
Paper inspection records are hard to compare across buildings, easy to misplace before an audit, and offer no way to flag open faults to your maintenance team in real time. A digital form creates a timestamped, searchable record with every inspection, so your team pulls compliance history for any building instantly. Standardizing the checklist also ensures every inspector documents the same data points regardless of site or experience level. Use it for monthly function tests, annual duration tests, post-incident inspections, and new building commissioning checks.
A complete emergency lighting inspection covers:
- Fitting location and zone reference
- Fitting type (maintained, non-maintained, combined)
- Function test result (pass/fail)
- Duration test result (pass/fail)
- Battery condition and estimated remaining life
- Lamp and LED condition
- Emergency exit sign legibility and illumination
- Inspector name, date, and signature
Use conditional logic to trigger fault fields whenever a fitting fails, capturing the fault type, exact location, and required remedial action in the same submission. Export completed inspections to Google Sheets or Airtable via Zapier and filter by fail status to create a live open-fault list for your maintenance team. Close out each fault once remediation is complete and retain the full inspection history for your compliance records.
Most fire safety regulations require a monthly function test and an annual duration test for emergency lighting. Some jurisdictions also require a six-monthly intermediate test, particularly for larger or higher-risk buildings. Check your local fire safety legislation and building type requirements to confirm the applicable schedule for your site.

Bank Reference Form
A reference request faxed to a bank branch and left sitting in a queue for weeks isn't the kind of turnaround a landlord or business can wait on. Collect the applicant's signed authorization and the specific details you need confirmed before the request even reaches the bank, so a decision isn't stuck behind a letter that hasn't come back yet.

Bar Inventory Form
A bottle count eyeballed at the end of a shift and scrawled on a paper sheet doesn't hold up against a pour cost report that says something doesn't add up. Collect what your bar actually needs, item, count, and variance, on a schedule you can actually compare week to week.

Equipment Inventory Form
Equipment that leaves a storage room in someone's arms, with no note about where it went, doesn't show up again until someone needs it and can't find it. Collect what your team actually needs, item details, condition, and who's got it, every time something moves.

Nationality Verification Form
A self-certification buried in a stack of new account paperwork isn't the kind of record a compliance team can rely on for a regulatory filing. Collect nationality, tax residency, and a signed declaration before an account opens, so compliance isn't chasing down a customer's citizenship status after the fact.

Maintenance Agreement Form
A maintenance plan agreed to over the phone isn't a contract your service team can actually work from, especially when nobody's sure whether the twice-a-year tune-up was part of the deal. Collect the equipment covered, service frequency, and a signed agreement before the first visit, so your team isn't guessing at scope once they're on-site.
