Don’t let the substandard compliance rules and regulations keep your facility from passing the surveys required by the authority holding jurisdiction (AHJ). There can be hidden deficiencies lurking throughout the facility that you are unaware of and wouldn’t know about until a professional inspection or consultation was conducted. Code documentation can be complex and be easily misinterpreted as it varies from one AHJ to another. This leads to confusion and uncertainty whether your facility is compliant or not. Non-compliance can result in fees or loss of accreditation.
LSS Life Safety Services provides the life saving consultations that will assist you in assuring your facility is prepared before scheduling your AHJ inspections. Our goal is to set you up for success and provide a detailed report of your facility before conducting the official AHJ survey.
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) have developed these life safety codes to protect people’s lives based on the building’s construction, protection, and occupancy features. A Life Safety Consultant is knowledgeable of these codes, and can help ensure that your facility will meet all of the code’s standards.
