NFPA 101 applies to new and existing occupancies and understand the three parts of means of egress and decide if egress capacity is acceptable for a given occupant load by identifying and applying requirements for fire barriers, protection of vertical openings, and protection of hazardous areas while determining occupant load factors based on the particular uses of a healthcare facility.Identify and locate the occupancy-specific limits of dead-end corridors and common paths of travel and build rehabilitation categories of work and the sprinkler requirements for such projects.

NFPA 101 Life Safety Code® for Health Care Occupancies is designed to provide you with the knowledge and confidence to identify life safety hazards and accurately apply NFPA 101 in health care occupancies.

The NFPA 101 Life Safety Code for Health Care Occupancies is a 3-day course designed to provide learners with the knowledge and confidence to identify hazards related to life safety within health care occupancies and accurately apply the code. Topics addressed include fundamental code concepts, identification, sizing, and arrangement of means of egress, features of fire protection, building rehabilitation requirements, special provisions, and operating features. A capstone activity allows the learner to test their skills and knowledge by working through realistic scenarios within the framework of a fully developed case study.

  • Explain occupancy classifications and how NFPA 101® requirements are relevant to new and existing healthcare environments.
  • Reference provisions for components of the means of egress, fire alarm and suppression systems, and other fire protection features present in healthcare environments.
  • Calculate occupant load and establish the capacity of individual means of egress components and the entire egress system.
  • Determine egress requirements for patient and non-patient suites
  • Define and apply the correct criteria for rehabilitation work categories.
  • Determine requirements for high-rise buildings and special structures, building services, and operating features.

Anyone concerned with life safety compliance for healthcare occupancies, including facility managers, AHJs, safety directors, engineers, architects, risk managers, and code consultants.
