Fire Safety Audit for Warehouses & Logistics
High racks, tonnes of packaging and forklifts charging overnight — a warehouse fire spreads fast. We check that your sprinklers, hydrants and storage layout can actually stop it.

Warehouses & Logistics
Stock, racks and packaging change every week
Warehouses are designed around a layout that rarely stays the same. Racks get taller, stock moves closer to the sprinkler heads, new mezzanines appear, and battery-charging areas grow as the forklift fleet expands. Each change can quietly reduce the protection that was designed for the building.
Storage buildings covered by the Maharashtra Fire Prevention and Life Safety Measures Act, 2006 must keep their fire systems in working order and submit a twice-yearly maintenance certificate (Form B) from a Licensed Agency. Our audits cover logistics parks and stand-alone warehouses across Pune, Chakan, Talegaon, Ranjangaon and the Nagar Road belt.

Typical findings
What Audits Commonly Find in Warehouses & Logistics

| Area | Typical finding | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Racks | Stock stacked up to or above the sprinkler heads | Sprinklers cannot reach the fire |
| Layout changes | New mezzanine or office block without sprinklers | Unprotected area |
| Battery charging | Forklifts charged next to packaging stock | Electrical fire spreads to stock |
| Hydrants | Hose boxes empty; hydrant blocked by pallets | Delay in firefighting |
| Exits | Emergency exits blocked or locked from outside | Staff trapped |
| Pump house | Diesel pump not tested; pumps on manual | No water when needed |

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Do warehouses need Form B?
Storage buildings covered by the Maharashtra Fire Prevention and Life Safety Measures Act, 2006 must submit a maintenance certificate from a Licensed Agency twice a year, in January and July. We confirm the position for your building during the site visit.
We have increased our rack height. Is our sprinkler system still enough?
Not necessarily. Sprinkler design depends on storage height and the type of goods. Our audit checks the current layout against the system and tells you if in-rack sprinklers or other changes are needed.
Can the audit be done without stopping operations?
Yes. We work around shifts and loading schedules. Tests that need a shutdown are planned with your team.
Do you audit lithium battery storage?
Yes. We check storage, charging and separation for lithium batteries and recommend suitable extinguishers and detection.
