Cody Collins
Life Safety Analyst — healthcare life-safety compliance, and a field contributor to LifeSafetyWiki.
Who Cody is
Cody Collins is a Life Safety Analyst with nine years in fire prevention, managing life-safety compliance in the healthcare setting — the world of CMS surveys, K-tags, and smoke compartments, where a missed detail becomes a survey finding.
He has the field instinct this site is built on: on a routine walk he spotted a sprinkler main wearing a full run of zip-tied bird spikes and asked the question nobody else had — is this even allowed? — then shared the photos. That field find became one of the most practical articles on the site.

His contribution
Cody contributed the field find and photos behind Bird Spikes on Sprinkler Piping — why pest-control hardware doesn’t belong on a sprinkler system, covering the NFPA 13 non-system-component rule, crevice and galvanic corrosion under zip ties, the concealment-of-evidence problem, and the structure-mounted fix.
