Emergency lighting and exit signs are the easiest to overlook. They're also the first thing the AHJ checks.

When an AHJ walks a building, exit signs and emergency lighting are on the clipboard before they ever look at a sprinkler head. They're simple systems — but the inspection and testing requirements are specific, the frequency is high, and the documentation requirements are strict. Fire Inspect Hub handles all of it.

"Monthly tests on every unit"

NFPA 101 requires a 30-second functional test on every emergency lighting unit every 30 days. For a building with 40 units across multiple floors, that's a lot of tests to track and document.

"The annual 90-minute test is the one that fails"

Monthly tests are quick. The annual 90-minute full-duration battery test is where failures show up. Units that seemed fine for 11 months suddenly can't hold a charge for 90 minutes. That needs to be documented, not ignored.

"Exit signs get ignored until they go dark"

A burned-out exit sign lamp is a code violation the moment it happens. Monthly visual inspections catch these before the AHJ does. Without a system, they're invisible until someone complains.

"Fire doors, lighting, and exit signs are separate inspections with the same clients"

If you're already inspecting sprinklers and alarms for a building, you should be doing their life safety inspection too. Fire Inspect Hub lets you add these asset types to an existing client without creating a new workflow.

"Healthcare facilities need all of it documented"

Hospitals and healthcare facilities face Joint Commission surveys that cover every life safety system. If you can't produce monthly test records, annual test results, and fire door inspection reports — your client is at risk of citation.

"We were doing emergency lighting and exit sign testing on paper forms and filing them in a binder. The first time an AHJ asked for three years of monthly test records, we had a problem. We don't have that problem anymore."
