The routine inspection, testing, and maintenance of building systems is an important component of Life Safety Code compliance.
![Page 3: Monte Engel Sherwin Nelson › HF › pubs › Life Safety Code › Documentation1.pdfyMetal containers with self‐closing cover ... Fusible links not replaced. y. Must be inspected](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022041108/5f0bedc17e708231d432e99d/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
A significant number of deficiencies occur due to the lack of documentation of this inspection, testing, and maintenance.
![Page 4: Monte Engel Sherwin Nelson › HF › pubs › Life Safety Code › Documentation1.pdfyMetal containers with self‐closing cover ... Fusible links not replaced. y. Must be inspected](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022041108/5f0bedc17e708231d432e99d/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
This session will discuss why these deficiencies occur and what you can do to prevent them.
