Safety Council Monthly Meeting 10/13/26

Preventing the Unthinkable: The Critical Lifeline of Regular Fire Audits PRESENTED BY: Betty Dankworth, Sales Tonya Sarno, Corporate Sales Manager With Koorsen Fire & Safety Identify Issues: Before they become bigger issues. Complacency & "Blind Spots": Staff passing by broken fire doors or blocked extinguishers daily without noticing or reporting them. Deferred Maintenance Risks: Delaying testing on critical assets (like backflow preventers or fire pumps) to save short-term budget. The Documentation Gap: Lacking organized, digital inspection records, which creates immediate legal liability during official city or insurance inspections. Outdated Protection: Systems designed for a building's original layout that fail to protect current inventory, machinery, or wall configurations. Implement a proactive, systematic schedule for fire system testing, maintenance, and documentation. Navigate core NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) standards and local international fire codes relevant to commercial facilities. Design a standardized internal inspection checklist that aligns with local jurisdiction enforcement and insurance mandates. Execute routine walk-through inspections using a structured protocol to catch and document violations in real time. Translate complex code requirements into plain language training for staff to ensure daily, operational compliance. Formulate a corrective action plan to efficiently log, prioritize, and repair system defic
