Combining the EAP and Fire Safety Plans has always made eminent sense, and now that is becoming a reality for all new or amended Fire Safety Plans & Emergency Action Plans for office occupancies, as of August 1. Check with your consultant and visit the FDNY website shown here if you have questions: http://www.nyc.gov/html/fdny/html/units/fire_prevention/emergency_action_plans.shtml
And in yet another streamlining move, the FDNY Bureau of Fire Prevention is now handling its 25 most frequently asked inspection requests on line, rather than using 311.
Such requests that affect the office building industry include inspections for sprinklers, standpipes, fire alarm system replacement/modification or related; on-site tests for Fire Safety and Emergency Action Plan Directors; public assembly and more. Visit http://www.nyc.gov to see which types of inspections can now be done on line. To provide feedback on the FDNY online inspection requests, please contact Robert Rampino at rampinr@fdny.nyc.gov.
