8 Rating Of The Barrier. Proper Barrier Construction. Proper Penetrating Item. Annular Space Requirements.

9 Throw more product at the problem. Get to the core of the problem and address it with a combination of: Management approaches Knowledge base (healthcare + firestop + construction) Products engineered for healthcare Superior technology U.L. testing base Support systems Training (FIT I & II) Tech support Tools (Paper-Electronic-Web Specialized Support

10 INTRO Competent Installations Require Understanding: 1. The Role of Barriers/Compartmentation 2. How Barriers Are Compromised 3. Following a UL System Approach 4. Understanding Basic Product Installation

11 Miss-Understanding of Products Miss-Understanding of Applications Miss-Understanding of Ratings No UL System Approach These Problems can be rectified with a solid technical training process as part of a Barrier Management Program.

12 Do you have a true Barrier Management Program? Does the protocol you have in place force accountability? Do you have an ongoing training process to insure that personnel involved have a complete understanding of what is expected?

13 Standardized Approach Integration with Existing Systems Training Tools

14 The BMP was designed to accomplish three things: 1. Insure the delivery of a compliant building 2. Adopt procedures to keep it in compliance 3. Documentation (evidence of compliance)

15 Proactive Approach to Maintaining Rated Wall Integrity. Stop Annual Outlay of Capital Once The Facility is Handed Over. Documentation!!!! Provide Avenues For Planning Pathways. (Cable Issues) Enforce Accountability! Surpass Inspection/Accreditation Expectations

16 Regulatory Compliance Insure Proper Installation (Per Code!) Stop Annual Outlay Of Capital Exhibit A Proactive Approach Prevent Property Loss Life Safety

17 A common theme with our HC partners. Cost Reduction Associated With Firestopping Issues. Lower Man Hours Spent Repairing Barriers. Lower Cost Associated With Documenting Infractions. Cost Savings Up Front Due To Re-enterable Systems.

19 Advance planning allows you to pick the right systems: Use of products and UL Systems that take into account the lifecycle requirements of your buildings Even bidding Standardization allows: Better pricing Adequate training Better manufacturer support Easier inspections Smoother job progress Statement of Conditions and Plan for Improvement reduction Maintenance becomes inspectors not installers

20 A full overview as to what is expected of anyone working in a rated barrier. This will go out with bid documents. Procedural requirements Performance requirements Submittal requirements Installation requirements Failure of any vendor to meet your SOC will result in contract termination

21 This permit will be given with a designated start. This will be determined by the facility. This permit will allow access above the ceiling. This permit will be displayed at all times.

22 This document would be picked up and returned to the firestop office. List all information of the installation. A log of Who, What, When and How. Use as an inspection tool. Accountability!

23 Accountability! Product Used Date Of Installation Contractor Information UL System#

24 A Detailed Specification For Individual Trades Insure That The Proper UL Systems & Products Are Being Used. Made available to your architectural firms and STI will meet with them to outline the program requirements and answer any questions.

25 A process for documenting barriers. A process for documenting penetrations. Utilizing bar-coding technology Ability to track other processes

26 Electronic Barrier Management Program s Should Provide The Tools For Managing Facility Vendors Managing Facility Access Utilizing Standardization Establishing Quality Control Procedures Providing Extensive Checks & Balances Providing Complete Documentation

27 Reporting & Documentation Report results of work activities Report deficiencies Plan & track corrections Provide Statement of Conditions (SOC) Schedule inspections, maintenance and repairs Custom reporting available
