Life Safety Code

The Life Safety Code is a set of standards developed by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) to ensure buildings are designed and maintained to protect people from fire and related hazards. It addresses safe egress routes, fire alarms, sprinkler systems, and overall building safety features. The goal is to minimize injuries and fatalities by creating environments that prevent fires, alert occupants quickly, and allow safe evacuation if a fire occurs. These codes are used by architects, builders, and inspectors to promote safe, functional buildings in healthcare, education, residential, and commercial settings.
