What Our Clients Say

Hear from clients who trust EvacuSafe Solutions for their DCA inspections and certifications.

How often should commercial fire escapes be inspected and certified?

Under NJ Fire Code (N.J.A.C. 5:70) and national safety standards, commercial fire escapes must be inspected and certified every five years by a Registered Design Professional or certified inspector. This ensures the structure remains code-compliant and capable of providing a safe exit during emergencies.

What does a commercial fire escape inspection include?

A commercial fire escape inspection involves a critical visual examination of stairs, treads, platforms, and connection points for rust, corrosion, or loose hardware. Inspectors document all findings in a detailed report submitted to the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) and may conduct load testing or engineer affidavits to complete certification requirements.

Why is certification important for commercial properties?

Certification confirms that a commercial fire escape is structurally sound, safe, and compliant with all local and state regulations. It protects building owners from liability, prevents DCA or municipal violations, and ensures occupants have a reliable means of egress in case of fire or emergency. EvacuSafe Solutions provides engineer-certified reports accepted by NJ DCA and local fire departments.
