In December, our FireblockWall™ solution received OPM approval from the California Department of Health Care Access and Information (HCAI, formerly known as the Office of Statewide Health Planning & Development, or OSHPD). HCAI’s allowance applies to temporary construction barriers, when approved for a specific location, use and compliance.
This distinction streamlines the on-site approval process for any contractor who wishes to install the STARC FireblockWall system in a California healthcare facility. Instead of requiring submittal of a package for approval to an inspector, the contractor now only needs to reference our OPM pre-approval number and follow the installation requirements as outlined in the OPM, thus saving weeks of time on the project.
