🛡️ NFPA Inspections

Conduct compliant inspections and maintain accurate records for fire protection systems using Fire Fill’s digital tools.

📑 Overview

The NFPA Inspections workflow is integrated into the Service Request process to ensuring adherence to safety standards. This guide covers:

• Conducting Inspections: Using mobile-friendly digital checklists.
• Logging Results: Capturing pass/fail status and maintenance notes.
• Generating Compliance Reports: Creating official PDF certificates.

🔍 Inspection Process

1. Initiate Inspection:

   • Create a new Service Request or open an existing one.
   • Select the product or system being inspected (e.g., Fire Extinguisher, Sprinkler System).

2. Verify Information:

   • Check the Quantity and Capacity/Type of equipment.
   • Ensure the Client Location is correct.

3. ** Perform Checks:**

   • While physically inspecting the item, verify its condition against standard requirements (pressure gauge, hose condition, seal integrity, weight, etc.).
   • Note: The app allows you to record these details implicitly through the service status and detailed notes field.

4. Record Outcome:
   • Pass: If the equipment meets standards, proceed to mark the request as Done.
   • Fail/Maintenance Needed: If issues are found, note them in the request (e.g., “Hose needs replacement”) or create a follow-up order for repairs.

⚠️ Expiration Tracking

• Set Expiration Date: When finalizing an inspection, ensure the Expiration Date is set correctly (typically 1 year from the service date for standard inspections).
• Monitoring: Use the Statistics dashboard to track upcoming expirations (“Safety Alerts”). The system will automatically notify you of items nearing their next inspection date.

📄 Reporting

Once the inspection is complete and the request is marked Done:

1. Use the Print feature to generate a Certificate.
2. The certificate serves as the official record of the inspection, including:
   • Service Date
   • Expiration Date
   • Technician/Store Information
   • Client Details & Location
   • QR Code for verification
