Program:
NFPA 101: Changes that impact Healthcare with the change from the 2000 to 2012 Edition
NFPA 101 Life Safety Code is a unique document; its contents address specific requirements that have a direct influence on safety to life in both new construction and existing buildings — not new construction alone. Moreover, although the Code’s paramount concern is life safety and not protection of property per se, there are also — by observance of the Code’s requirements — ancillary benefits to mission continuity and property protection. Attendees will leave this presentation with an understanding of the changes that impact Healthcare from the 2000 to the 2012 edition of NFPA 101 Life Safety Code.
