Division of Safety Inspection
The Department of Health, Division of Safety Inspection, has the responsibility of surveying health care facilities for determining compliance with the Life Safety Code, NFPA 101, 2000 Edition for federal certification and state licensure. In addition to the survey process, the Division also has the responsibility for reviewing and approving construction drawings for all health care facilities in the Commonwealth.
The Division provides a sophisticated building analysis in accordance with the Federal and State mandated Life Safety Code. This analysis constitutes a review of the structural design and fireproofing. Within that framework, the electrical systems, plumbing, heating, ventilation, fire alarm, sprinkler system, and smoke detection systems must be evaluated. The Division's plan review staff meet daily with architects and engineers in the Harrisburg Central Office to determine the acceptability of designs for health care facilities.
