Be Compliant With The Life Safety Code® to Keep Residents Safe

Today’s healthcare systems are continually challenged to remain compliant with ever-changing government rules and regulations. The Life Safety Code® (NFPA 101) is one example. This set of requirements covers the construction, protection and operational features of your facilities and is designed to provide safety from fire, smoke and panic.

Life Safety Specialist Surveyors from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and their partner agencies conduct life safety surveys as part of the accreditation process. These surveys are conducted at the discretion of CMS to determine your facility’s compliance.

Is your health care or nursing facility up to date? Do you know for sure that your building will protect the lives of patients and staff during a fire? Can you properly assess your buildings to ensure you are compliant with these complex requirements?

At Signal Technologies, we know and understand the interpretations and exceptions to the Life Safety Code®. We know how they apply to our systems and how to help you maintain compliance through cost-effective measures.
