Fire Life Safety Inspections Are a Non-Negotiable for California Facilities
Keep Your Occupants Safe. Protect Your Facility. Reduce Your Liability.
WHAT’S INVOLVED IN FIRE LIFE SAFETY
Proper Fire Life Safety goes beyond installing equipment
In California, Fire Life Safety is a technical requirement and critical protection for your building, your people, and your operations.
Current state codes require that your facility is periodically inspected by qualified technicians.
Our contractors aren’t guessing—they’re trained, certified, and ready to ensure your HVAC systems meet California’s most up-to-date safety and code standards.
Protect your facility. Meet state regulations. Be ready for what comes next.
Fire Life Safety Compliance Includes:
Certified Fire and Smoke Damper inspections
Accurate reports for record retention
System shutdown and fail-safe testing
Full compliance with California Building and Mechanical Codes
Smoke control systems and stairwell pressurization
Preparedness for inspections, occupancy approvals, and public funding requirements
Correct duct smoke detector placement and functionality
Pro Tip: Missed inspections = Non-compliant buildings and safety risks AND SOMETIMES FINES OR ADDED FEES. GET AHEAD OF THAT BY MAINTAINING COMPLIANCE WITH A CERTIFIED PROFESSIONAL.
Make non-compliance a non-issue
Too many vendors cut corners, delay projects, or leave you scrambling to meet California’s evolving code requirements.
Periodic inspections of smoke control systems and fire smoke dampers will ensure that your life safety systems operate as designed and intended during unexpected events.
Our network connects you with trained, certified professionals who know how to inspect complex facility systems, and keep your occupants and buildings moving.
No gaps. No guesswork. Solutions to ensure compliance and safety rather than just inspections that show no failures.
