LIFE SAFETY ISSUES AND THE CODE
The current standards and codes for life safety requirements for each occupancy type within a specific jurisdiction involve a methodic evaluation of both state requirements and local ordinances. Investigation sometimes necessitates coordination between building owners and Authorities Having Jurisdiction to provide life safety solutions which meets regulation and can be economically installed and maintained. For 17 years D K Consulting has been involved with Life Safety Systems and building issues that precipitate sometimes more or sometimes less stringent requirements.
Coordination with the AHJ at a early stage of design and development will often foster a relationship that provide compromise rather then conflict when negotiating specific issues which may not be crystal clear within the text of the code. We implement requirements of California Building, Electrical, and Fire Codes along with the applicable national codes and standards that apply to low voltage systems, fire alarm, and life safety. Maintaining focus on education and review of updated codes in Fire Protection Engineering Technology for Fire Alarm Systems assures the prospective client that he is provided with current compliance and up to date design and code evaluation.
