For nearly a century, people
have relied on NFPA 101®: Life Safety Code to prevent loss
of life from fire, smoke, and panic. When tragedies do occur,
investigations invariably reveal serious Life Safety Code violations.
That's why today's lawmakers and fire officials rely on the up-to-date
Code as the cornerstone of their public safety programs.

Groundbreaking changes in
the 2006 LSC® herald a new era of safety!
From sprinklers, alarms, and
egress to emergency lighting, smoke barriers, and special hazard
protection, today's NFPA 101®: Life Safety Code® is your
blueprint for safety! The 2006 edition incorporates the latest
technologies, advances, and safety strategies to help you meet
today's challenges and achieve higher levels of protection for
building occupants than ever before.
To reduce fire injuries and deaths,
this latest LSC edition mandates that the following occupancy
types must be sprinklered:
- All new 1- and 2-family dwellings
- All existing nursing homes
- Existing nightclub assembly
occupancies where occupant load exceeds 100 people
- New nightclub assembly occupancies
regardless of occupant load
A new chapter on existing building
rehabilitation provides greater flexibility to encourage adaptive
reuse without sacrificing life safety.
In previous Code editions, modifications
to existing buildings had to comply with provisions for new construction.
The 2006 Life Safety Code's new Chapter 43 introduces specific
requirements for:
- Repairs
- Renovations
- Additions
- Reconstruction
- Change of use or occupancy classification
- Historic buildings
Other important changes affect:
- Health care occupancy suites
- Alcohol-based hand-rub solution
dispensers in corridors of health care occupancies
- Smoke control systems in new
malls
- Crowd managers in assembly occupancies
- Stair descent devices for people
with disabilities
- Stair width in certain new buildings
to improve counterflow between occupants and first responders.
