About this file

This is a detailed task list spreadsheet showing fire protection system inspection and testing requirements across two tables. Table 1 lists approximately 1,902 various fire safety devices and systems requiring inspection/testing at different frequencies (monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, annually, and every 5-6 years) at what appears to be a VA medical facility. The devices include fire alarms, sprinklers, detectors, notification systems, pumps, extinguishers, and related equipment.

Table 2 breaks down 37 specific inspection tasks by frequency and quantity, organized by The Joint Commission (TJC) Element of Performance (EP) numbers. Key systems include 80 tamper switches, 274 smoke detectors, 160 portable fire extinguishers, 120 door releasing devices, and various other fire protection components. The most frequent inspections are quarterly (including tamper switches, water flow switches, and main drain tests), while some items like standpipe systems and smoke/fire dampers require testing every 5-6 years.
