Guidelines for Successful Inspection

Fire and life safety inspections are conducted based on a building’s size, use, and occupant load. These factors determine requirements for exits, fire alarm systems, and fire sprinkler systems to help ensure safe occupancy.

Inspections occur throughout the life of a building, including required annual, triennial, and other periodic inspections, to verify ongoing compliance with fire and life safety codes and to help maintain a safe environment for occupants and first responders.
