1-7 FIRE LIFE SAFETY REQUIREMENTS

PROCEDURE FOR FIRE/LIFE SAFETY OUTAGES & INTERIM SAFETY

MEASURES FOR FULL OR PARTIAL FIRE/LIFE SAFETY SYSTEM ANDFEATURE OUTAGES

Implementation of interim measures is required for a nonfunctional or partially

operating fire/life safety (F/LS) systems in FAA owned, operated or occupied

facilities.

The following Procedure for Fire/Life Safety Outages, includes steps mandated by

the Federal Aviation Administration and nationally recognized F/LS codes and

standards. This procedure and the appropriate interim measures should be

implemented as soon as fire/life safety systems are out of service. Where thefire/life safety system outage is planned due to construction and maintenance,

execution of the procedures identified should be planned and initiated prior to the

outage.

INCLUDED F/LS FEATURES AND SYSTEMS

F/LS features and systems are those facility components provided to protect the

building occupants, facility, NAS operational continuity, and ultimately the mission

of the FAA from the hazards of fire and explosion. A partial listing of F/LS systemsand features, addressed by this procedure are provided below:

Fire Alarm & Detection

Egress Marking

Emergency Power Supplies

STAKEHOLDERS IN F/LS OUTAGES

All impacted stakeholders should be notified of outages and be included in the

implementation of planned F/LS system and feature outages. Potential stakeholders

may include facility management and occupants, safety management team, fire

department, resident engineer, contractors, and the central fire alarm monitoring

station.

Initial communications for unplanned outages should be accomplished as soon as

possible and include documentation by memorandum, email, letter or signage

postings within the facility, in accordance with FAA policy.

INTERIM MEASURES (PARTIAL LIST)

1. Inform all facility occupants of the outage or partially functional F/LS feature anddiscuss its effect on daily and emergency operations. The facility Emergency Action

Plan should be reviewed to identify necessary modifications. The information

should highlight the purpose and importance of the F/LS feature, the impact on

everyday operations, and the increased responsibility of all personnel.

2. Evaluate the level of risk posed by the non-functioning or partially functioningfeature and the hazards present in the facility. Identify any areas that may have a

specific risk and may require a fire watch in order to provide appropriate protection

to the occupants. Appoint a fire warden to oversee implementation and evaluate

the effectiveness of the interim procedures. The local safety manager should be

consulted for long term, broad reaching or high impact outages. Additionally, FAA

safety professionals should be consulted when the proper interim measures are

unclear.

3. Conduct daily inspections to ensure the means of egress is not obstructed orcompromised. Confirm the egress is free of combustibles or storage of any kind.

4. Ensure all doors opening into the stairs are checked to ensure door hardware isfunctioning properly. This includes a visual inspection of all doors to ensure the

construction has not been compromised and checking all door hardware including

latching hardware and self-closing devices to verify proper operation. Magnetic

door holders should be disconnected and not be returned to use until the fire alarm

system is functioning normally.

5. Ensure that fire and smoke doors in the facility are not propped open for any reason.


37/168




37/168

6. Institute the necessary risk reduction actions, which may include the following:a. Enhancing occupant evacuation procedures by requiring

immediate evacuation upon alarmb. Updating building occupants on the proper use of fire extinguishersc. Providing additional fire extinguishersd. Strictly enforcing all working contractors site safety planse. Implementing a requirement for daily construction activity

briefings by the resident engineer

f. Strictly enforcing "hot work", (e.g., welding, cutting,etc.) safety approvals or banning all hot work during

F/LS outages

g. Maintaining the storage of construction combustibles orflammable and combustible liquids outside of the facility

h. Strictly enforcing the daily clean up of constructionmaterials and excess dust

7. Conduct biweekly testing and inspections of:a. Exit signageb. Exits for improper storage or obstructionsc. Exit stairs including treads, landings, and handrailsd. Exit illuminatione. Emergency lightingf. Housekeeping and fire prevention measures are in effect

8. Post signage throughout the facility to indicate interim measures are in effect.9. Confirm, through testing and inspection, the proper operation of all F/LS features,

systems and components remaining operational during the outage.

10. In cases where the fire detection & alarm system is compromised, implementprocedures for notifying facility occupants in the event of an emergency (e.g., radio,

public address, etc.) and ensure personnel are aware of the procedures in effect and

clear of their responsibilities.

11. In cases where the F/LS systems interface with building controls is compromised,provide a temporary manual switch in the control areas (cab or control room), which

activate the stair pressurization system, elevator recall or other special facility

features. If the facility (specifically an ATCT) has a vented vestibule system, ensure

louvers are in the open position while the fire alarm system is not functioning.

12. Ensure trouble signals at the main fire alarm control panel and the control areaannunciator panels remain functional. Trouble signals at either panel should not be


38/168




38/168

by-passed. All trouble signals should be cleared only upon the systems return to

normal operations.

13. Inform all personnel upon restoring the F/LS feature to full operation and reinstatethe normal occupant emergency procedures.
