Fire Escape Certification

Fire escape certification involves inspecting, evaluating, and documenting the condition and structural integrity of fire escapes to ensure compliance with current building and fire codes. Structural engineers identify deterioration or deficiencies, analyze components to verify load capacity, and, where conditions are unknown, may develop load tests to confirm performance. Upon satisfactory results, an affidavit is issued certifying the fire escape’s safety and compliance for the next five years.
