How Often Should a Fire Escape Be Inspected?



Building Code 1001.3.2 Testing and Certification.


All exterior bridges, steel or wooden stairways, fire escapes and egress balconies shall be examined and/or tested and certified for structural adequacy and safety every five years, by a registered design professional, or others qualified and acceptable to the building official; said professional or others shall then submit an affidavit to the building official.



Why is it important to regularly inspect your fire escape?
