Neglecting to inspect your fire doors could cost you more than just fines—it could endanger your people and property. Fire door inspections aren’t just a regulatory requirement; they’re an essential part of maintaining a safe work environment.
Here’s why fire door inspections are so critical:
OSHA and NFPA Compliance Requirements: OSHA and NFPA standards require routine fire door inspections to ensure doors function properly in an emergency.
Protect Property and Minimize Fire Risk: Fire doors prevent the spread of flames, smoke, and toxic gases, giving your facility time to react.
Avoid Penalties and Reduce Liability: Failing to maintain fire door compliance can result in hefty fines, costly penalties, and potential legal liability.
By scheduling regular fire door inspections, you protect your workforce, your facility, and your bottom line. Need to schedule your next fire door inspection? Contact us today to stay compliant and reduce fire risk.
What Is NFPA-80?
Ensuring your warehouse is compliant with fire safety regulations is crucial for the safety of your employees and the protection of your assets. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 80 standard is essential for the installation and maintenance of fire doors and other protective openings. This standard outlines the requirements for periodic inspections, testing, and maintenance of fire door assemblies to ensure they function properly during a fire event.
NFPA-80 includes guidelines on:
- Installation: Proper installation of fire doors to meet safety standards.
- Maintenance: Regular maintenance to ensure doors are in working order.
- Testing: Periodic testing to verify functionality and compliance.
- Documentation: Keeping detailed records of inspections and maintenance activities.
For more detailed information on NFPA-80, you can visit OSHA’s official page regarding the regulation. Ensuring adherence to these guidelines not only helps in compliance but also significantly enhances the safety of your facility.
