Maintaining the physical features of fire and life safety systems can be challenging. Recent changes to the requirements for testing have affected the inspection process in terms of who can conduct inspections and what will be looked at. To help you stay compliant, we will review a number of forms you can use to assess your compliance in the areas of fire protection and life safety features, including fire alarms, automatic sprinklers, fire pumps, hydrants, extinguishers, exit signs, battery pack lighting, dampers, and doors. This session will enable you to—
• Discuss the new code changes for the inspection, testing, and maintenance of fire protection and life safety features.
• Explain the requirements, differences, and qualifications of personnel inspecting, testing, maintaining, repairing, and servicing fire protection and life safety features.
