Firestopping is an integral part of fire protection engineering. Firestop systems protect against the passage of flames, deadly gases and toxic smoke through openings that are created for penetrations, joints and gaps in fire-resistive walls, floors and floor/ceiling assemblies. The integrity of fire-rated assemblies is restored by Firestop systems. Building codes require third-party tested systems to be installed whenever fire-rated construction is compromised by such openings.

UL Certification Information
     Safe Check continues to show their commitment to Quality and Customers by completing the UL Qualified Firestop Contractor Program. The program includes the successful completion of a comprehensive exam and an annual systems audit performed by a UL representative that reviews “systems” both in house and on a live job site.

     Safe Check’s firestop survey & system applications

Using the Safe Check Electronic Survey Form, crews begin documenting and collecting data to include those penetrations that “offer no protection.”

Data Collection includes:

  • Wall type; Rating; and Material of construction.
  • Type of through penetration.
  • Joint Treatments, Cable Trays, Curtain Walls, Electrical Outlet Boxes, Wall Penetrations of any kind (utilities, hvac, chases, etc.).
  • Type of penetrant material.
  • Any special conditions.
  • Assign a proper UL System based on the details of the data collected.

Customer Option- Should the Customer agree the Surveyor may also include a “Caulk and Walk Survey, “whereby ALL penetrations smaller than 2” will be documented and the proper application applied.

                 DOCUMENTATION AVAILABILITY 24 HOURS A DAY

 

  • Safe Check was the innovator in bringing real time virtual documentation to its customers. Facility managers are provided with a unique username, whereby the Firestop Survey can be viewed live 24 hours a day/ 7 days a week.
  •  In addition to the virtual report, Safe Check will provide each Customer with a summary report depicting the location of each penetration, its annular space, the materials of construction and an applicable UL System.
