Overview
NFPA 101, the Life Safety Code, addresses egress, protection features and operating requirements to protect occupants from fire and similar emergencies, organized by occupancy (educational, healthcare, assembly, business and others). Whether and where NFPA 101 is enforced in Oklahoma depends on the facility type, funding and regulating agency (for example, certain healthcare facilities), so applicability must be confirmed for the specific project.
Common Questions
- How does NFPA 101 apply to educational occupancies?
