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.

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 2018 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 2012 Life Safety
Code's 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.
