NFPA 101 (Life Safety Code)

NFPA 101, known as the Life Safety Code, is a standard developed by the National Fire Protection Association to ensure people's safety in buildings during emergencies, particularly fires. It outlines essential requirements for building design, construction, and occupancy, focusing on features that help prevent fires, protect occupants, and facilitate safe evacuation. This includes guidelines for exits, alarms, sprinklers, and emergency lighting. By following NFPA 101, facilities aim to minimize risks to human life and ensure that people can escape safely in case of an emergency or hazardous situation.
