DESCRIPTION

There is no code or standard of practice specifying how to develop a life safety plan (LSP). A thorough and concise LSP provides a "picture" of the facility's design. This "picture" is used to determine if the intended design meets the minimum requirements of the applicable codes, standards, and regulations. A “good” LSP identifies problems during design instead of construction, makes future inspections easier by starting with a code-compliant building, and provides the necessary documentation to facilitate future facility rehabilitations. A “bad” LSP may require compliance by demolition instead of eraser. This presentation will focus on (4) major components of life safety design : means of egress components, fire-resistant rated construction, compartmentalization, and occupancy and use classifications.

A thorough and concise LSP provides a picture of the facility's design. Thispicture is used to determine if the intended design meets the minimum requirementsof the applicable codes, standards, and regulations. A good LSP identifies problems during design instead of construction, makes futureinspections easier by starting with a code-compliant building, and provides thenecessary documentation to facilitate future facility rehabilitations. A bad LSP mayrequire compliance by demolition instead of eraser. This course will focus on (4) major components of life safety design : means ofegress components, fire-resistant rated construction, compartmentalization,and occupancy and use classifications. This course will reference both the NFPA 101 Life Safety Code and the ICC codes(IBC, IFC, IMC, IPC, IFGC) as the more stringent of these (2) codes must be met. This course will summarize the plan submittal and review process for healthcareprojects in the state of Wyoming. This course will introduce plan review worksheets that Design Teams can utilize as areference guide when self-reviewing their designs for code compliance.4 5. Learning Objectives At the end of this program, participants will beable to develop a Life Safety Plan that addresses Means of Egress Components, Fire-Resistant Rated Construction, Compartmentalization, Occupancy and Use Classifications.5 6.

Construction andexpansion of facilities; exemption. (a) A licensee who contemplatesconstruction of or alteration oraddition to a health care facilityshall submit plans andspecifications to the division forpreliminary inspection and approvalprior to commencing construction.Significant changes to the original plansmust also be submitted and approvedprior to implementation. The plansand any changes shall indicate anyincrease in the number of beds. Chapter 3 RulesRegulations forHC Construction (ii) The fire safety code requirements for theconstruction and remodeling of any state-licensedhealthcare facility shall meet theminimum requirements established inthe National Fire Protection Association101 Life Safety Code or any other coderequired to meet federal fire and life safetycertification. If any code requirements forfederal certification conflict with the code ofany other state or local governmental entity,the code required for federal certificationshall prevail. A separate plan for each floor, includingsmoke compartmentation, exit signage, fireextinguishers, fire alarm devices, pullstations, sprinklered areas, fire barriers, andcorridor protection reflecting NFPA 101:Life Safety Code.11 12. 12Standard of Care Legal term : expectation Expects the architect to merely perform his or her services in the samemanner that other architects with similar experience, background, andeducation would perform under similar circumstances. Involves judgment : perfection is not expected Relative measure, not an absolute measure Professional Negligence Owner (plaintiff) must prove architect acted below the standard of care Architect does not have to prove his or her competence EXCEPT if the problem resulted directly from a building code violation in thedesign. 13. 13WHAT are LSPs ?

Where permitted by Chapter 12through Chapter 42 Provision can be used only wherespecifically allowed by anoccupancy chapter. Unless prohibited by Chapter12 through Chapter 42 Provision is allowed in alloccupancies unless specificallyprohibited by an occupancychapter.17 18. ExampleProvisions of 7.2.1.6.1 on delayedegress locks are allowed only whenpermitted by Chapter 12 throughChapter 42. Permission to use the delayed egresslock is normally found in the __.2.2subsection of each occupancy chapter. For example, 12.2.2.2.5 specificallyallows the use of delayed egress locksin new assembly occupancies. If this permission is not found in anoccupancy chapter, the delayed egresslock cannot be used. Similar types of restricted permissionare found for such items as securitygrilles, double cylinder locks, revolvingdoors, and so forth.18 19.
