NFPA 101
Life Safety Code
2018
Edition
Major changes and an
expanded scope make the 2018 edition of NFPA 101®, Life Safety Code®
essential in any occupancy -- from assembly to health care,
industrial, and residential.
As the built environment and
risks evolve, so do the challenges to protect people from fire and
related hazards. NFPA®'s Life Safety Code is the most widely used
source for strategies for occupant safety throughout the life of
a building.
Vital for architects,
engineers, building owners and building managers, hospital
administrators, and AHJs, NFPA 101 covers it all: Egress,
sprinklers, alarms, emergency lighting, smoke barriers, special
hazard protection, and much more.
For the
2018 edition, the scope of NFPA 101
is expanded to include hazardous materials emergencies, injuries
from falls, and emergency communications.
The Code provides a flexible
approach that adapts to nontraditional use of buildings; innovative
designs; and new technologies, materials, and construction
practices. It addresses life safety in both new and existing
structures. Significant changes for the 2018 edition include:
-
New requirements for
hazardous materials protection of other than fire-related
hazards (Chapter 8)
-
A new reference to NFPA
4 for integrated fire protection and life safety system testing,
and new provisions for risk analyses for mass notification
systems (Chapter 9)
-
Animal housing
facilities added as special structures (Chapter 11)
-
Added requirements for
carbon-monoxide detection in new assembly occupancies and new
residential board and care occupancies (Chapters 12 and 32)
-
Added criteria for door
locking to prevent unwanted entry in educational, day care, and
business occupancies (Chapters 14-17, 38, and 39)
-
A mandatory sprinkler
requirement for all but very small new educational occupancies
(Chapter 14)
-
New provisions that
permit health care and ambulatory health care smoke compartments
up to 40,000 ft2 (3720 m2) in area (Chapters 18 and 19)
-
Added requirements for
bathtub and shower grab bars, which are then referenced by
numerous occupancy chapters (Chapter 24)
-
Added requirements for
attic protection requirements that impact certain new hotels and
dormitories and apartment buildings (Chapters 28 and 30)
-
A new reference to NFPA
99 for medical gases in business occupancies (Chapters 38 and
39)
-
A new Annex C that
offers guidance on several NFPA® hazardous materials standards
to assist users with the new hazardous materials protection
requirements
Be sure your knowledge is
up-to-date and your facilities meet code. Base your decisions on the
2018 edition of NFPA 101 and tackle safety challenges effectively.
