Presentation Description:
What We Can Do to Improve the Reliability of Fire Protection Systems
This program will present and discuss the inspection, testing, maintenance, and reliability concerns of the stakeholders of fire protection systems. The owners, sprinkler, suppression, and fire alarm contractors, and Authorities Having Jurisdiction all will benefit from improved communications that will lead to more reliable and longer lasting fire protection systems. These communications, if done effectively and consistently, can and will lead to an increased backlog of service work and the systems will perform as expected and intended when needed – reducing liability.
