How often are fire escape inspections required for healthcare facilities in New Jersey?
Healthcare facilities in New Jersey are required to have their fire escapes and exterior egress balconies inspected every five years by a qualified professional engineer or architect. After inspection, an affidavit confirming structural safety must be submitted to the local Fire Prevention Bureau, which issues a green tag once compliance is verified.
What does a healthcare facility fire escape inspection include?
A certified inspector checks for structural adequacy, corrosion, damaged treads, loose bolts, impaired ladders, and deteriorated landings. They also ensure the escape is free of obstructions and that all egress components meet NJ Fire Code (N.J.A.C. 5:70) standards. Load testing may be required if deterioration or instability is detected.
What should healthcare facility managers do after an inspection?
If deficiencies are found, they must be repaired immediately to maintain compliance and safety. The facility should display the green inspection tag issued by the Fire Prevention Bureau, retain a copy of the inspection report and affidavit on site for the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ), and schedule the next inspection within the five-year cycle.
