The penetration will be sealed with a UL approved through penetration fire stop system (Hilti Figure # W-L-1464) to maintain the 20 minute smoke resistance rating of the wall. Maintenance and IT installation staff will be re-educated on the proper procedure for sealing all fire/smoke rated penetrations and documented. Construction / renovation projects will be monitored on a continual basis for compliance also. Holy Redeemer Health System has implemented a Fire & Smoke Barrier Penetration Policy in 2012 that provides a comprehensive means of verifying that above ceiling work within Holy Redeemer Health System is accomplished in accordance with applicable building codes, standards, and related hospital policies. This policy applies to any work done in the buildings owned and or rented by the Holy Redeemer Health System. Permit forms are available in the Engineering & Maintenance office. All Smoke and Fire barriers will be inspected Quarterly for compliance as part of our preventative maintenance program and policy. The Director of Maintenance will be responsible for maintaining compliance of this inspection.
