- General housekeeping is important.
- Have info on evacuation or fire fighting exercises that have been organized at your terminal.
- Try to have all waste containers at least 10 m from your warehouse.
- If you have gas bottles there should be a clear management of storage of full and empty bottles.
- If you have fire doors in fire walls they should be in good shape and operational condition.
- If you have sprinklers you should have the maintenance manual of the weekly or two weekly checks. Make sure the water tank is full and that the level is checked on a regular basis.

These are the main issues.
