Life Safety Code Comparison
by Diana Hugue and Ajay Prasad
Many factors influence whether a health care organization choose to apply the most recent edition of NFPA 101: Life Safety Code® to a project. This monograph provides an exhaustive list of the differences between the 2000, 2012, 2015, and 2018 editions of NFPA 101, as well as the 2015 and 2018 editions of the International Building Code. The goal is to help readers determine the best course for their facility. NOTE: This monograph was updated in June 2018 to reflect the latest editions of codes.
