Internal Inspections Tool for Facilities Staff
Hospitals often rely on vendors for support and expertise to conduct code-specified inspections and testing of various systems. However, health facility managers may be unaware that some inspections and testing specified by code do not have to be conducted by a specially licensed or certified professional.
Many of these procedures can be conducted in-house, such as fire doors and monthly fire extinguisher checks. However, many do not know that this category also includes firefighter elevator recall, fire/smoke damper testing, medical gas alarm panel testing and more.
This new tool, developed by ASHEs advocacy task force, can help facility managers determine which requirements can be completed in-house and the possible cost benefits of each.
