PLEASE ensure your “life safety” contractor inspector for Exits, Fire Extinguishers, EW/SSs, etc., is FULLY trained on the hazards of the area(s) they will be working in. This year, we have found two (2) national companies that provide these inspection services using electronic devices NOT rated for the hazardous areas where they are working.
We got every excuse anyone could come up with as to why they are allowed to use non-rated devices in Class 1, Div 1 and 2, Group D Hazardous Locations (HAZLOCs). None were worth our time to even discuss.
