Health Facilities
Since HB12-1268 was passed, DFPC has been responsible for enforcing the Life Safety Code in healthcare facilities statewide from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, effective 1 July, 2013.
The primary purpose of the Health Facilities work unit is to ensure that all buildings under the jurisdiction of DFPC are built and/or maintained in accordance with the requirements of state statutes, regulations, and adopted codes. To accomplish this, the work unit receives and processes building, fire, and life safety permit submittal documents. It performs plan reviews and inspections under currently adopted codes and referenced standards, as applicable.
