Statement of Conditions
We can perform Statement of Conditions (SOC) inspections and fire protection surveys for facilities and structures, including hospitals, senior living, ambulatory centers, and medical office buildings.
The Joint Commission (TJC) requires Health Care occupancies to document through the use of Statement of Conditions (SOC) that a fire safe environment of care is maintained and that compliance with the intent of Life Safety Code is provided.
We provide comprehensive surveying of both new and existing health care facilities for compliance with the Life Safety Code. We document the results of the SOC to help your organization maintain a fire safe environment and demonstrate compliance with the intent of standards and code. The surveys include verification of:
- construction type
- smoke/fire rated wall locations
- proper protection of wall/floor openings and penetrations
- corridor construction
- suite locations and design
- means of egress compliance
- fire alarm device locations
- standpipe outlet locations
- smoke detection coverage
- manual pull station locations
- exit signage
- sprinklered areas
- hazardous areas
- interior finish requirements
- atrium design and smoke control systems
We can also assist in the preparation for JCAHO inspections.
