Today’s building, life safety, and fire codes contain provisions and requirements for the ongoing inspection, testing, and maintenance of fire door assemblies. Owners and facility management personnel are responsible for maintaining fire doors in their buildings in working condition throughout their service lives.
This custom three-day workshop introduces you to the world of swinging fire doors, emphasizing performing door safety inspections and testing as required by NFPA 80, Standard for Fire Doors and Other Opening Protectives. Swinging doors with builders hardware are the most common fire door assemblies covered in NFPA 80. They are specially engineered, component-based systems that range from simple mechanical functions to complex electrified hardware functions integrated into other building systems (e.g., detectors, fire alarms, and sprinkler systems). Fire doors require extraordinary attention and detail at every step: installation, inspection, testing, and ongoing maintenance.
Along with learning NFPA 80’s provisions and requirements for inspecting, testing, and maintaining swinging fire doors, inspectors must learn how to perform these services. Accuracy, consistency, and efficiency are essential to developing these new skills. Not only must each inspector be accurate, consistent, and efficient as they assess each door assembly, but inspectors on the same team need to conduct the inspections and testing with the same scrutiny.
Each attendee receives:
- NFPA 80, Standard for Fire Doors and Other Opening Protectives (2016 edition)
- Door Safety’s Handbook: Inspecting and Maintaining Swinging Egress and Fire Doors
- Class Workbook
- An original Door Gap Gauge
- A one-year General Interest (GI) subscription to DoorSafety.com
- A Door Safety Certificate of Completion (awarded upon passing the class exam)*
* Minimum passing score is 80%. The Door Safety Certificate of Completion provides evidence the attendee completed attended the in-class session and passed the exam; it is not intended to be used as a professional certification. Attendees are permitted to retake the class exam; an additional $50 fee applies for each retake exam attempt.
IMPORTANT: Course registration fee does not include costs for hotel accommodations, meals, and transportation. Coffee and soft drinks will be provided in the meeting room. See conformation email for hotel and related information.
