Supporting detail
Fire alarm, sprinkler, and egress systems must remain functional or have an approved interim plan throughout construction, not only once the project is complete.
Any temporary impairment of a life-safety system should be documented, communicated to the authority having jurisdiction where required, and restored as quickly as the work allows.
Facility teams should confirm with the contractor how life-safety coverage will be maintained during each phase of a multi-phase reconstruction project.
Final life-safety inspections and documentation should be part of the closeout package before affected areas are returned to full occupancy.
