Life Safety assets
Life safety assets — fire extinguishers and AEDs — are tracked separately from your general equipment. They carry inspection requirements and compliance obligations that ordinary assets don’t, so keeping them in their own category means they’re always accounted for and never buried in a long inventory list.
What counts as a life safety asset
Section titled “What counts as a life safety asset”The system recognizes dedicated categories for the equipment that carries recurring life safety inspection requirements, most notably:
- Fire extinguishers
- AEDs (automated external defibrillators)
Because they’re categorized this way, the system can hold them to the inspection schedules and compliance rules that apply specifically to life safety equipment.
What’s recorded
Section titled “What’s recorded”Each life safety asset carries the details that matter for compliance and accountability — what it is, where it’s located, and its current condition. Tying each asset to a specific location means that when something is due or fails, you know exactly where to go.
Why the separation matters
Section titled “Why the separation matters”When an inspector asks about your fire extinguishers, you shouldn’t have to filter them out of a list of hundreds of unrelated items. By keeping life safety assets distinct, Maintenance Ops lets you see your safety-critical equipment as its own set — inspect it, track its status, and prove its compliance without the noise of general inventory.
From asset to inspection
Section titled “From asset to inspection”Having the assets in place is the foundation. The next step is the recurring checks they require — see Inspection lists for how the system schedules and tracks those, and surfaces what’s coming due before it becomes overdue.
