Inspections Services from DSC
Your facility’s safety systems are only compliant if you can prove they work. Local Fire Marshals, insurance carriers, and municipal codes (NFPA 72) require rigorous annual and semi-annual testing to ensure your life safety infrastructure functions correctly in an emergency. Failing to maintain these "Green Tags" can result in heavy fines, increased insurance premiums, and significant liability exposure.
DSC removes the administrative burden of compliance. We track your inspection schedules, coordinate with tenants, and deploy factory-trained technicians to test every initiation device and notification appliance in your system. Whether for a single building or a multi-site campus, we provide the certified verification necessary to keep your doors open and your people safe.
Inspection Scope
We verify the functionality of your critical systems to ensure code compliance and operational readiness.
-
Fire Alarm & Life Safety Testing
We perform the comprehensive testing required by the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) and NFPA standards. Our technicians physically test smoke detectors, heat sensors, pull stations, and audiovisual notification devices (strobes/horns) to ensure proper sensitivity and operation. We also verify the integrity of backup batteries and communication lines, ensuring your system creates a valid "Green Tag" status for the Fire Marshal.
-
Security & Integrated System Checks
While fire inspections are mandated by law, security inspections are mandated by common sense. We inspect your electronic security layers to prevent "silent failures." This includes focusing cameras, cleaning lenses, testing door contacts and mag-locks, and verifying that intrusion sensors are communicating with the panel. We identify equipment that is nearing end-of-life before it creates a security gap.
-
Compliance Reporting & Documentation
An inspection is only as valuable as the report that comes with it. We provide detailed, digital documentation that serves as your audit trail for insurance claims and code enforcement. Our reports identify passed devices, list deficiencies that need correction, and provide the official certification required by healthcare auditors (Joint Commission), school districts, and municipal inspectors.
