Life Safety Bootcamp 2025
Undergoing a Life Safety Code survey can be a high-pressure experience, particularly when the outcome impacts not only regulatory compliance but also the safety and well-being of facility occupants. In this session, Kenn will share expert guidance on how to effectively prepare for a Life Safety Code survey, with a focus on fostering productive and positive interactions with surveyors. Drawing from years of experience, Kenn will cover essential best practices to ensure that your facility meets the stringent inspection, testing, and maintenance (ITM) requirements outlined in the Life Safety and Healthcare Facility Codes.
Through practical examples and real-world survey scenarios, Kenn will explain how these codes are applied in operational settings, address recent updates to the standards, and highlight the increasing ITM requirements that facilities must now meet. The Life Safety Code serves as the cornerstone for protecting building occupants by establishing minimum standards for critical systems such as fire protection, emergency power generation, door operations, and overall facility services. Adherence to these standards is not just a regulatory obligation, but a fundamental aspect of maintaining a safe environment for all who live and work in healthcare and other regulated facilities.
Kenn will also provide an in-depth dive into the ITM practices expected during a survey, as well as the critical documentation required to demonstrate compliance. Participants will leave the session armed with the knowledge and tools needed to navigate the complexities of Life Safety Code compliance with confidence, ensuring their facilities not only meet but exceed safety standards in the eyes of regulators. This session is an invaluable opportunity to stay ahead of evolving requirements and to strengthen your facility’s commitment to safety.
