When Do Businesses In Virginia Need Fire Watch?
According to Virginia laws and regulations, as well as the NFPA 101 Life Safety Code, businesses require fire watch personnel on duty any time emergency fire systems are offline. A fire watch is also required during any kind of potentially hazardous business activities. These include construction and demolition of structures, as well as many industrial activities. Whenever your business is at an elevated risk of fire, you should call fire watch immediately.
If businesses do not have adequate fire protection in place, they face heavy penalties. Businesses can be shut down for not having sufficient protocols in place. Code 4 makes sure your business meets all requirements and continues operating without interruption.
What Is The Purpose of Fire Watch?
Fire watch will regularly patrol every floor of a building while looking for any signs of fire hazards. They will look for signs of smoke, fires, or any other potential fire hazards. Fire watch is responsible for maintaining the safety of a building when emergency fire systems are not available. The personnel will be responsible for logging each watch, as well as providing the log to local fire marshals.
If the patrol on duty finds indications of a fire hazard, they are responsible for evacuating the premises as well as immediately contacting local fire officials. Fire watch can be the front-line defense against a dangerous fire.
