What is a Formal Transition Plan?
A Formal Transition Plan is a written plan to upgrade / improve / update your existing ADA elements from non‐compliance to compliance. The basic components are:
1. Each one is designed & created based on the findings of either a CASp or ADA site inspection,
2. Usually covers more than one year & can cover 10+ years in length,
3. Has a “proposed calendar of completion” built into the document,
4. When constructed properly, it outsources virtually all of the liability to the General Contractor and his / her subcontractors,
5. Places the accountability of the “finished work” on the General Contractors and his / her subcontractors, not the Owner.

OSHA Targeting
• Minimal OSHA focus on the Restaurant Industry• Mostly through worker complaints
• OSHA Focus and targeting• Construction• Manufacturing
• Unprogrammed Inspection Activity• Complaints• Fatalities
FEBRUARY 16, 2014
Basic Requirements
• OSHA Poster• If 10 or more employees then have to maintain the OSHA 300 forms
• Injury and illness reporting
• Compliance with applicable OSHA standards
FEBRUARY 16, 2014
Most recent OSHA Standard
• Record Keeping• Effective January 1st, 2015• Impacts Reporting – within 8 hours• Fatality• One or more hospitalizations• Amputation• Loss of an eye
• Some impact on who does and does not have to keep records

FEBRUARY 16, 2014
Programmed Inspections
• Your industry can get targeted through Local or National Emphasis Programs• Fall LEPs• Workers Compensation rates• Amputations
• In the future through elevated Injury and Illness rates

The Nassau County Fire Commission Office of the Fire Marshal has approved Article VIII to address the need for carbon monoxide detectors in new and existing buildings in Nassau
County, New York. • Carbon Monoxide Alarm / Detection devices shall be installed as part of a Fire Alarm System in new
occupancies that require a Fire Alarm System to be installed.• New occupancies that do not require the installation of a Fire Alarm System shall install Carbon Monoxide
Alarm / Detection devices as independent single station or multiple station systems.• Where a Fire Alarm System is maintained within an existing occupancy, the Carbon Monoxide Alarm /
Detection devices shall be installed and interconnected to the existing Fire Alarm Systems.• Exceptions:
1. Interconnection is not required in buildings that are not undergoing alterations, repairs or construction.
2. Carbon monoxide alarm / detection devices in existing areas are not required to be interconnected where alterations or repairs do not result in the removal of interior wall or ceiling finishes exposing the structure, unless there is an attic, crawl space or basement available which could provide access for interconnection without the removal of interior finishes.

NFPA 17A-Wet Chemical Extinguishing
ANSUL RECALL INFORMATION 1. The ANSUL R‐102 system was involved in a recall. The recall required the
replacement of ANSUL’s Red Mild Steel Tanks. As a result all Red Mild Steel Tanks were required to be replaced using new stainless steel tanks. This recall began July 2009 and many of these tanks are still being found in service. At their hydrostatic date they are to be replaced.
2. In May 2013 ANSUL announced that the PIRANHA Red Mild Steel Tanks were also subject to this recall.
3. DO NOT hydrostatically test a red painted mild steel agent storage tank. Instead, replace the tank with a new stainless steel tank assembly (1.5 Gal (Part No. 438165), 2.25 Gal (Part No. 438166), or 3.0 Gal (Part No. 438167)).

NFPA 17A-Pre-Engineered Kitchen Suppression Systems
1. One of the more common deficiencies seen results from appliance line up shifts.
2. Any planned appliance replacements should be coordinated with your fire protection provider at the time of installation to avoid a deficient system or fire department violations.
3. In order to prevent unnecessary expenses, the appliance’s correct location should be marked on the floor or locater blocks installed to ensure equipment returns to the proper location after cleaning operations.
FEBRUARY 16, 2014
Improperly protected equipment is a violation of NFPA, manufacture’s guidelines and fire department
regulations. If appliances are not properly protected when a fire
breaks out, results can be catastrophic.

Sprinkler UL Testing
As sprinklers age, the frequency in which they should be tested or replaced increases due to a higher rate of failure.
1. A representative sample of sprinklers for testing shall consist of a minimum of not less than four sprinklers or 1 percent of the number of sprinklers per individual sprinkler sample, whichever is greater. The sample should include a variety from each type of environment the sprinklers are installed.
2. Sprinklers should be selected from different floors or areas of the building and not selected simply because they are more accessible than other sprinklers.
3. Selection should take into consideration the age and types of sprinklers as well as environmental conditions to which they are subjected. Keep in mind that if a single sprinkler from the sample fails testing, all the sprinklers represented in that sample must be replaced. The sample can represent an entire system or one floor of a multi‐story building.

5.3.1.1.1 Where sprinklers have been in service for 50 years, they shall be replaced or representative samples from one or more sample areas shall be tested. Test procedures shall be repeated at 10‐year intervals.

5.3.1.1.1.5* Dry sprinklers that have been in service for 10 years shall be replaced, or representatives samples shall be
