life safety codes

Life safety codes are regulations designed to protect people in buildings during emergencies, like fires or natural disasters. They set standards for building design, fire alarm systems, exits, emergency lighting, and pathways to ensure people can evacuate quickly and safely. These codes help prevent injury and loss of life by ensuring that buildings are constructed and maintained with safety features that function effectively when needed. Compliance with life safety codes is essential for public safety and is often required by law for new construction and existing buildings.
