Terry Brown+FollowWho Can Inspect Hospital Dampers?Did you know hospitals don’t always need to hire outside pros for fire and smoke damper inspections? As long as staff are properly trained and qualified, they can handle it in-house! Some states want only ISO-certified inspectors, but that’s not always practical—especially for rural hospitals. The list of approved certifiers is growing, though, so check ANSI’s site for updates. Just remember: working above hospital ceilings is tricky, and special health care certifications are a big plus! #HospitalSafety #FireSafety #Healthcare #FacilitiesManagement #Inspections #Health00Share
