Navigating the Orange Cones: Managing Life Safety Impairments

November 18, 2026, from 12:00 – 2:00 pm CT

What we’ll discuss:

When sprinklers are shut down, fire doors are removed, or smoke barriers are breached, the building is vulnerable—and so is the organization. This session clarifies when ILSM is actually required, how to choose appropriate compensatory measures (fire watch, signage, drills, temporary egress routes), and how to document decisions so surveyors see a clear, defensible process. Attendees leave with a practical decision tree and communication plan for managing life safety impairments without overreacting or under-protecting.

Who should attend:

Director of Facilities, Director of Plant Operations, Life Safety Specialist, Safety Officer, Construction, Project Manager 

Registration Coming Soon!

Session Objectives:

See how to turn life safety impairments into a documented, trainable, survey-ready process.
