Is your business in breach of Ohio fire regulations?

A non-working fire alarm system is more than just a safety hazard for your Ohio business; it could also mean you're not in compliance with state regulations.

In November, the new Ohio Fire Code went into effect, which require:

The completion and attachment of annual inspection tag to all fire alarm systems, new and existing
An Out Of Service tag to be put on any non-operational fire alarm system

The tags make inspectors jobs easier, and while inspections have always been required, it means they will now be enforced even more so, and any business owner who doesn't comply with the regulations could face fines.

Hard Fire Suppression Systems provides testing and inspection services, and we're well aware of the new regulations. Don't take the risk by having a system out of service. You're putting more than just your people at risk.
