Codes and standards:
- International Fire Code 2018 edition. EHS Fire Safety and Prevention follows the Department of Forestry and Fire Management — State Fire Marshal's Office adopted codes and standards. Where valid, we apply the ASU-approved design guidelines to be met and adhered to. At our campuses, we encourage new construction projects, major renovations, and tenant improvements to adhere to specific local responding municipal agencies' adopted city amendments as our primary emergency response agencies.
- Occupancy Inspection Determination — Fire Safety and Prevention has developed a determination tool to assess the frequency with which existing buildings at ASU are inspected.
