HOW COVERAGE IS SET UP

Establish written fire-watch logsTime-stamped rounds documenting each area checked, as required.
Confirm the emergency notification planWho to contact immediately if a fire condition or hazard is observed.
WHY SECUREPOINT
Fire watch coverage exists because a life-safety system is temporarily down the documentation matters as much as the rounds themselves. We follow the patrol frequency and logging your property or fire department requires and keep a direct line to the authorized property representative for the full duration of the impairment.
