Why are you here?
As a Property Owner, Agent, or Manager it’s important to understand the certification process for your exterior metal or wood staircase (second means of egress), commonly referred to as a “fire escape.” It is required by State and Local Fire and/or Building Codes to certify the fire escape’s strength through a Load Test or other evidence of strength every five years and submit the certification to the AHJ. Failing to maintain a structurally sound and properly painted fire escape could result in the loss of insurance coverage and/or liability issues for the Property Owner or Agent.
The importance of inspection, certification, and restoration services for their exterior egress systems must not be overlooked. By taking the necessary steps to maintain these features, stakeholders can ensure the safety and longevity of their property and avoid potential liability issues. This website offers a valuable resource for all property Owners/Agents to learn more about these services and make informed decisions about their property maintenance.
