Shaft Pressurization Inspection Form

The Shaft Pressurization Inspection Form is a vital tool for ensuring the safety of building occupants in multi-story buildings by preventing the spread of smoke and fire through elevator shafts. This inspection form is in accordance with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and International Building Code (IBC) standards, which require effective shaft pressurization systems to maintain a smoke-free environment during a fire emergency. These systems work by creating a pressure differential that keeps smoke from traveling up the elevator shaft, thereby protecting the stairwells and other escape routes. The inspection form helps confirm that the pressurization system is functioning as designed, ensuring that it provides adequate protection in the event of a fire. The Shaft Pressurization Inspection Form is customizable to suit specific building requirements and provides an easy way for safety officers or building inspectors to record results of their inspections. It covers essential aspects of the shaft pressurization system, including system functionality, airflow measurements, fan operations, and compliance with local fire safety codes. By completing the form, inspectors can ensure that the building’s elevator shaft pressurization system is working properly, minimizing the risk of smoke inhalation and ensuring safer evacuation routes for building occupants during an emergency. The form is available for download as a PDF on desktop or through the Joyfill mobile app, making it convenient for inspectors to fill out and submit their assessments from anywhere. The mobile app provides the flexibility to complete the inspection form directly on a tablet or smartphone, whether on-site or in the field. This ensures that the inspection process is efficient, thorough, and compliant with NFPA and IBC standards, allowing building owners and safety personnel to demonstrate their commitment to occupant safety and fire protection.
