National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards require building owners to have some egress doors and all fire and smoke doors inspected and tested annually.

Infection Control Risk Assessment
Occupied health care facilities must take special care to control environmental hazards by adhering to Infection Control Risk Assessment (ICRA) protocols during and after construction projects.
Our experts evaluate the scope of work to determine risk factors, including identifying potential hazards that may affect patients, labs, sterile environments, and medical equipment to minimize the risk of hospital-acquired infection. Assessment results and preventive measures are documented for ICRA approval prior to the issuance of the required Infection Control Construction Permit.
