NFPA 101: Life Safety Code

Life Safety Code (NFPA 101) continues to evolve to address new hazards and help you ensure people in your facility are safe during any emergency. Updated training based on the 2012 NFPA 101 provides the tools you need to confidently apply rules, including major changes involving high-rises, health care, and other occupancies. The Code addresses those construction, protection, and occupancy features necessary to minimize danger to life from the effects of fire, including smoke, heat, and toxic gases created during a fire. Also it addresses other considerations that are essential to life safety in recognition of the fact that life safety is more than a matter of egress. The Code also addresses protective features and systems, building services, operating features, maintenance activities, and other provisions in recognition of the fact that achieving an acceptable degree of life safety depends on additional safeguards to provide adequate egress time or protection for people exposed to fire.

►Objectives:

The aim of this seminar is to provide the attendants with a thorough understanding of NFPA 101, including the two sub-codes that it covers: Guide on Alternative Approaches to Life Safety (NFPA 101A), and Code for Means of Egress for Buildings and structures (NFPA 101 B). Experienced instructors explain the intent behind requirements, so you can implement or enforce this code in all types of life safety matters.

This seminar will prepare attendants to be able to:
- Explain requirements for new, existing, and renovated buildings
- Explain classification of occupancies
- Determine requirements for enclosure and protection of the means of egress
- Apply provisions for doors, stairs, smoke-proof enclosures, horizontal exits, ramps, exit
passageways, and more
- Determine the egress capacity of the entire means of egress system and individual components
- Recognize specific fire protection systems and the appropriate reference standards
- Explain hazard of contents
- Calculate occupant load of a given space using appropriate occupant load factors
- Use concepts of accessible means of egress and areas of refuge
- Determine the need for, and minimum requirements applicable to, illumination, emergency
lighting, and egress marking
- Identify and apply the requirements for protection of vertical openings and for hazardous areas
- Interpret the core chapters and the occupancy specific requirements for special structures and
high-rise buildings
- Employ provisions for building services including utilities, HVAC, smoke control, elevators and
escalators, and rubbish and laundry chutes
