Barrier maintenance programs allow facility managers to control their barriers in a proactive and timely manner. These programs simplify the entire process, build in accountability for inside and outside contractors, and once employed will save the facility thousands of dollars annually.

Although facilities no longer receive a scoring advantage for having a barrier maintenance program in place, the BMP is a key program for any facility to evaluate their own life safety code deficiencies and to maintain a schedule for maintenance.
