Although the CMS proposed rule to adopt the 2012 Life Safety Code covers a lot of ground, the vast majority of it is familiar territory, according to an article on the FacilityCare website.
Although the proposed rule will likely see changes, facility managers can still prepare.
Experts recommend networking with professional societies to discuss the impact of the proposed regulations, reviewing the proposals as published and sending in comments.
Facility managers should also take a close look at how the proposal deviates from the familiar Life Safety Code, the article said. Also, they should take a second look at existing processes to see how the proposed testing changes might impact your facilities.
