Record routine alarm tests including which call point was used, so one faulty device does not sit untested for a year.
Halls, shops, offices, clubs, care settings, HMOs and any premises with a fire alarm system.
One page, top to bottom:
Printed under the title: Routine alarm testing recorded properly: which call point was used, whether it sounded everywhere, and who was told.
Rotate the call point, and record which one. Rotating the call point tested is what stops one faulty point going unnoticed for a year. The interval and the method come from local rules and from your alarm system's documentation. What must be tested or recorded, how often, by whom and how long the record must be kept differ by country and by the kind of premises. This sheet prints no interval and no criterion, names no scheme and satisfies no regulation on its own.

Record a drill in a way that captures what went badly, which is the only part that makes the next one better.
