NFPA 101
Life Safety Code
2009
Edition
Maximize
occupant protection. Work with the latest rules for fire-safe design
and construction in the 2009 NFPA 101®: Life Safety Code®!
The benchmark for safety in all types of
structures has been fully updated with new and revised requirements
that work together more effectively than ever to minimize danger to
life from the effects of fire and related hazards.
Unique in the field, only the Life
Safety Code establishes a minimum threshold of safety in
both new and existing structures…contains a performance-based
compliance option…and provides separate, more flexible criteria for
building rehabilitation vs. new construction to encourage adaptive
reuse of buildings without sacrificing safety.
Update your knowledge with today's
blueprint for safety in all types of structures!
The 2009 NFPA 101: Life Safety Code
incorporates the latest research, technological advances, and
industry developments to provide the most advanced rules for
sprinklers, alarms, egress, emergency lighting, smoke barriers,
special hazard protection--the complete range of construction,
protection, and occupancy features that impact lives every day.
- New evacuation strategies and
technologies facilitate faster movement of more people in
an emergency. Get up-to-date on rules for elevator use for
occupant-controlled evacuation and supplemental evacuation
equipment.
- Additional sprinkler mandates
for all existing high-rise health care occupancies and all new
apartment buildings will save even more lives and further reduce
fire injuries.
- New requirement for inspection of
door openings ensures that fire doors will be operational
in an emergency.
- New criteria for remoteness of exit
accesses and exit discharges minimizes the possibility of
both paths becoming blocked by a single fire.
- New rule for 2-way communication
systems in areas of refuge even where the building is
sprinklered means people unable to leave the area can communicate
with emergency responders as to their location.
- Health care occupancy door locking
for patient protective needs improves security.
Apply industry best practices and keep
buildings up-to-code.
Before you design, build, rehab, or inspect
any structure, consult the 2009 Life Safety Code for
state-of-the-art tactics that help you achieve fire and life safety
in the built environment. Order now!
