What is the purpose of a Pompano Beach Fire & Life Safety inspection? What is included in the inspection? In this blog, we’ll answer these questions and more.
All commercial buildings are required to undergo fire and sprinkler inspections to ensure that they are compliant with state and local regulations. In NFPA 101: Life Safety Code, the National Fire Protection Agency has defined what should be included in a Pompano Beach Fire & Life Safety inspection. As your fire protection experts, we’re here to help you prepare, and to tell you why they’re an important part of your fire protection strategy.
What Is The Goal Of A Pompano Beach Fire & Life Safety Inspection?
According to the NFPA, the Life Safety Code aims to provide an environment for building occupants that is reasonably safe from fire by the following means:
- Protection of occupants that may not be aware of initial fire development
- Improvement of the survivability of occupants close to the initial fire development
Life Safety inspections examine a building’s construction, the fire protection systems that are present, the features that provide protection from smoke and fire, and the features that allow for safe egress and efficient movement of building occupants if the building needs to be evacuated.
What Can I Expect From A Fire & Life Safety Inspection?
Since a Pompano Beach Fire & Life Safety inspection examines to a wide range of systems and attributes on your property, you can plan for an inspector to be looking for the following:
