For the maintenance staff, the overall fire safety of your facility should be one of those evaluations. Can you look back within the year and know that your[ passive fire protection system](https://www.lifesafetyservices.com/) was properly maintained? If your AHJ visited your facility tomorrow, would your [fire and smoke dampers](https://www.lifesafetyservices.com/fire-door-inspections), [fire doors](https://www.lifesafetyservices.com/fire-door-inspections), and [firestop](https://www.lifesafetyservices.com/firestopping) installations fall within code standards? Do you have a **complete barrier management program** in place?If not, you not only run the risk of receiving a hefty fine, but most importantly the occupants of your building are not safe.   ### **Just as a 2014 refresher, here are passive fire protection system codes that you need to be aware of:** - Fire doors- NFPA 80 requires annual inspection and repair of fire doors. - Firestopping- Several Building codes (ICC, ICBO, SBCCI, BOCA) require firestop as well as NFPA 101 and 70. - One Year Damper Inspections- Both NFPA 80 and 105 require fire and smoke dampers to be tested one year after installation - NFPA 80 and 105 both require dampers to be tested every 4 years thereafter in non-healthcare facilities and every 6 years in hospitals - NFPA 80 and 105 both require dampers to repaired “without delay” - If it’s broken or not working, fix it!- NFPA requires repairs to begin without delay in all of these instances.   ### **Moving forward into 2015, ensure that your passive fire protection systems are working properly for the safety of your building occupants.  ** Tags: [Damper Inspection](https://info.lifesafetyservices.com/topic/damper-inspection) #### Written by [LSS](https://info.lifesafetyservices.com/author/lss) ### Subscribe to our blog ### Request a Quote Have a question about Life Safety Services?
