  4. Interim Life Safety Measures (ILSM): What are they? • Administrative method to offset a recognized Code shortcoming • A set of 11 measures for providing a safe environment during a significant construction project

  5. When should ILSM be implemented? • When construction alters any required Life Safety Code elements • When a Life Safety deficiency is discovered or created including but not limited to: • Blocking or temporary changing of exits • Loss of integrity of fire walls or smoke barriers

  6. Interim Life Safety Measures • Ensuring free and unobstructed exits. Staff receives additional information/communication when alternative exits are designated. Buildings or areas under construction must maintain escape routes for construction workers at all times, and the means of exiting construction areas are inspected daily. • Ensuring free and unobstructed access to emergency services and for fire, police, and other emergency forces • Ensuring that fire alarm, detection, and suppression systems are in good working order. • A temporary but equivalent system must be provided when any fire system is impaired. • Temporary systems must be inspected and tested monthly.*

  7. ILSM Continued • Ensuring that temporary construction partitions are smoke-tight and built of noncombustible or limited combustible materials that will not contribute to the development or spread of fire • Providing additional fire-fighting equipment and training staff in its use • Prohibiting smoking throughout the hospital’s buildings and in and near construction areas • Developing and enforcing storage, housekeeping, and debris-removal practices that reduce the building’s flammable and combustible fire load to the lowest feasible level • Conducting a minimum of two fire drills per shift per quarter • Increasing surveillance of buildings, grounds, and equipment, with special attention to excavations, construction areas, construction storage, and field offices • Training staff to compensate for impaired structural or compartmentalization features of fire safety • Conducting hospital-wide safety education programs to promote awareness of fire safety. building deficiencies, construction hazards, and ILSMs

  8. When should ILSM be implemented? • When a fire alarm or fire protection system is impaired. • Typically if a system will be impaired for longer than 4 hours in a 24-hour period, ILSM is required. Local AHJ’s or insurance companies may have more stringent requirements • When a life threatening condition exists.

  9. ILSM Policy • Standard P & P setup language • A listing of the 11 administrative measures and any additional items specific to your organization • Criteria to evaluate deficiencies and hazards (matrix, scoring system or narrative) indicating when the ILSM program is implemented and what measures are in place
