Occupancy Profiles
The Occupancy Profile form contains a wealth of information about your commercial buildings. This information serves as the basis for nearly every other section of the Life Safety module, including inspections, preplans, confidence testing and construction project management.
Fifteen individual tabs comprise the profile:
Basic Information: Includes the address or location of the building; the name of the building and the complex; general phone numbers and email addresses; the NFPA property use and construction type; and the size of the building expressed in stories and square feet.
Owner and Contacts: Includes the real estate owner, the property manager and any number of emergency contacts.
Codes: Contains information to help you track which codes apply to the structure, including the year built; the city and county; the name of the applicable codes; one or more construction classifications; and one or more occupancy classifications from the applicable code.
Construction: Contains general information about the roof, floor and wall construction.
Utilities: Includes shutoff locations for gas, electricity and water, including inside and outside valves. Vendors for each of the utilities can also be listed.
Fire Protection: Includes information about sprinkler systems, standpipes, fire pumps, hood systems, clean agent systems, key boxes, command centers, generators and fire hydrants.
Fire Detection: Contains information about fire alarm systems, monitoring agencies, smoke control systems and smoke removal systems.
Hazardous Materials: Lists general information about the overall hazardous materials in the building, including checkboxes for common hazards and a graphical NFPA 704 symbol. |
Chemical Inventories: Contains the complete chemical inventory as reported through your SARA Title III program.
Text Fields: Contains 30 user-defined buttons that allow you to enter as much information as you need about 30 different categories in a word processor-like format.
Image Files: Allows you to drag and drop digital files such as photos, drawings and even CAD documents into the profile.
Sub-Occupancies: Displays smaller, inspectable occupancies within the base building.
Confidence Test Systems: Provides another view of systems and other requirements that are being tracked through your confidence testing program.
Incident Responses: Displays a list of incidents that have occurred at the building and actually allows you to open the incident reports for viewing.
Hazard Assessment: Allows you to survey the building and classify it by criteria such as the presence of a sprinkler system, the property use, mobility of occupants and presence of hazardous materials. This survey results in a numeric score that helps you determine the level of threat posed to the community or firefighters by this occupancy. |
