New — AHCA Maintenance Director Training

The American Health Care Association’s (AHCA) Emergency Preparedness & Life Safety Committee launched a Maintenance Director Training Course, and registration is free for HCAM/AHCA/NCAL members. The course is structured into four focused modules, each addressing critical areas of facility safety and compliance:

1. Maintenance Director Overview
2. Fire and Smoke Door Inspection
3. Generator Inspection, Testing, and Maintenance
4. Portable Patient-Care Related Electrical Equipment (PCREE) Testing

Each module includes educational videos, downloadable PowerPoint presentations and handouts to support learning and implementation. Successful completion leads to a certificate that can be used to demonstrate competency in fire and smoke door inspections, fulfilling annual requirements under NFPA 80 and NFPA 105, as part of the 2012 Life Safety Code.
