2. FIRE PROTECTION IMPAIRMENT PLAN

A. A FIRE PROTECTION IMPAIRMENT PLAN SHOULD BE DEVELOPED AND IMPLEMENTED BEFORE

AUTHORIZATION IS GIVEN, THE IMPAIRMENT COORDINATOR SHOULD VERIFY THAT THE

FOLLOWING PROCEDURES HAVE BEEN IMPLEMENTED:

• THE EXTENT AND EXPECTED DURATION OF THE IMPAIRMENT THAT HAS BEEN DETERMINED.

AREA OF CONSTRUCTION.

• ASSIGN PERSONNEL TO TRANSMIT FIRE ALARMS TO THE OWNER'S HOSPITAL

COORDINATOR WHERE THE MAIN FIRE ALARM PANEL IS BEING MONITORED FOR 24/7

COVERAGE.

3. TAG IMPAIRMENT SYSTEM

A. A TAG SHALL BE USED TO INDICATE THAT A SYSTEM OR PART THERE OF, HAS BEEN REMOVED

FROM SERVICE. THE CONTRACTOR SHALL PLACE TAGS ON ALL AFFECTED COMPONENTS, E.G.,

TAMPER SWITCHES, VALVES, FIRE ALARM ANNUNCIATOR DEVICES, ETC., PRIOR TO THE

COMPANY THAT MONITORS THE OWNER'S MAIN FIRE ALARM PANEL ON 24/7 COVERAGE.

• ARCHITECT, ENGINEER AND OWNERS REPRESENTATIVE HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT THE

FIRE PROTECTION AND FIRE DETECTION SYSTEM THAT WAS IMPAIRED HAS BEEN

RESTORED.

• THE OWNER'S REPRESENTATIVE OR DESIGNATED REPRESENTATIVE, FIRE ALARM COMPANY

WHO MONITORS THE MAIN FIRE ALARM PANEL FOR 24/7 COVERAGE AND ALL OTHER

JURISDICTIONS HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT BOTH FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEMS IS RESTORED.

• THE IMPAIRMENT TAG HAS BEEN REMOVED.

PROCEDURES FOR IMPAIRMENT TO THE FIRE PROTECTION

SYSTEM

FIRE WATCH PROCEDURES AND REQUIREMENTS

A. THE FIRE WATCH PERSONNEL SHALL BE TRAINED TO UNDERSTAND THE INHERENT HAZARDS OF THE

WORK SITE AND OF THE HOT WORK TO OCCUR.

B. THE FIRE WATCH SHALL ENSURE THAT SAFE CONDITIONS ARE MAINTAINED DURING OUTAGE OF THE

FIRE ALARM/FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM AND/OR DURING THE OCCURRENCE OF HOT WORK

OPERATION.

C. THE FIRE WATCH SHALL HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO STOP HOT WORK OPERATIONS IF UNSAFE

D. THE FIRE WATCH SHALL HAVE FIRE EXTINGUISHING EQUIPMENT READILY AVAILABLE AND TRAINED IN

ITS USE, E.G., FIRE EXTINGUISHERS.

E. THE FIRE WATCH SHALL BE FAMILIAR WITH OWNER'S FACILITIES AND PROCEDURES FOR SOUNDING

AN ALARM IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE.

F. THE FIRE WATCH SHALL WATCH FOR FIRES IN ALL EXPOSED AREAS AND TRY TO EXTINGUISH A FIRE ONLY WHEN THE FIRES ARE OBVIOUSLY WITHIN THE CAPACITY OF THE AVAILABLE EXTINGUISHING EQUIPMENT. IF THE FIRE WATCH DETERMINES THAT THE FIRE IS NOT WITHIN THE CAPACITY OF THE EQUIPMENT THE FIRE WATCH SHALL SOUND AN ALARM IMMEDIATELY (E.G.,INITIATE A MANUALLY ACTUATED ALARM INDICATING DEVICE THAT IS OUTSIDE OF THE CONSTRUCTION AREA DURING THE DISRUPTION OF THE FIRE ALARM/DETECTION WITHIN THE CONSTRUCTION WORK SCOPE OR WITHIN THE CONSTRUCTION WORK SCOPE IF THE FIRE ALARM/DETECTION SYSTEM HAS BEEN ACTIVATED).

G. BEFORE STARTING ANY HOT WORK, CONTRACTORS AND THEIR OWNERS SHALL DISCUSS THE

PLANNED PROJECT COMPLETELY INCLUDING THE TYPE OF HOT WORK TO BE CONDUCTED AND THE HAZARDS IN THE AREA WITH THE ASSOCIATED PLAN OF ACTION, IN ORDER, TO PROVIDE EQUIVALENT

SAFETY MEASURES TAKEN DURING THE FIRE DETECTION OR FIRE SUPPRESSION IMPAIRMENT.
