Without a doubt, Healthcare is one of the most regulated U.S. industries. NFPA alone publishes over 70 codes or standards that apply to healthcare facilities. Facility managers and those involved in healthcare physical plant operations are expected to have a working knowledge of not one but all of these standards. This session will differ from other document specific sessions by focusing on key elements, interpretations and trends relative to healthcare related regulation in a single all-inclusive educational session. The session will address over a dozen healthcare related documents and the provisions of interest specific to healthcare facility leaders. Some of the standards to be discussed include: 13-Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems; 13R-Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems in Residential Occupancies up to and Including Four Stories in Height; 80-Standard for Fire Doors and Other Opening Protectives; 101A-Guide on Alternative Approaches to Life Safety; 105-Standard for the Installation of Smoke Door Assemblies and Other Opening Protectives; 110-Standard for Emergency and Standby Power Systems; 111-Standard on Stored Electrical Energy Emergency and Standby Power Systems.
