CMS Life Safety Code scrutiny is at an all-time high. The Life Safety Code and Healthcare Facilities Code establish many expectations for inspection, testing and maintenance and an evident tightening of the requirements through stricter implementation resulting in many more deficiencies for nursing facilities.

Managing all of the various requirements of the Life Safety Code and Health Care Facilities Code is an intricate process. That is why Kenneth Daily, LNHA, Life Safety expert, has created this program that will provide you and your team with the information and resources you need to manage your facility’s life safety program. This course ensures you have the necessary information and resources to successfully manage programs as standards change.
