Im a member of NFPA Health Care Section as I run a big facility here in Orlando. I went to a AHCA meeting a few weeks ago and the said that they would start to really inforce NFPA80. So me getting cerified as a Fire Door Inspector will add a lot to my Home Inspection Bussiness. Thank you Nick for looking into this for me.

It's going to be huge. Do you have any idea how many commercial fire doors there are that now have to be inspected at least once a year, every year? I can't even calculate it.

Hey nick, In my nursing Home alone there are approx 500 fire doors in the facility.There are a lot of nursing homes in orlando. and I have the connections with all of them!!!! So thats why it is really important for the Fire Door Inspector certification. What kind of tags are you looking into? They have to have serial numbers on them, Also the AHJ has to accept them on the doors.If you need some more imformation on this huge undertaking feel free to call me at 407-491-1700 and I can give you more details.Not only health care facilities are involed, but office buildings,schools,etc.

I'm working on getting the tags and stickers designed now and want to hear your thoughts. I was going to serial number them to the report sheets. Dialing...
