Build your foundation for safety on the widely adopted NFPA 101 Life Safety Code®!
Adopted as law by jurisdictions in most states, the Life Safety Code is a fixture in our society. Since the early 20th century, it has grown in scope to provide minimum building design, construction, operation and maintenance requirements needed to protect building occupants from the dangers of fire, smoke, toxic fumes, and panic.

Use the best strategies for life safety in “new” and “existing” structures!

By choosing the 2003 LSC, architects, designers, code officials and building owners will know building features are designed to operate smoothly and minimize life-threatening hazards. Reference:

  • State-of-the-art egress requirements, stair markings, and emergency lighting
  • Current accepted rules concerning smoke barriers, special hazard protection, and interior finishes
  • The most sophisticated performance-based option for code compliance
  • Industry accepted rules for occupancies from one- and two-family dwellings...to hotels, schools, businesses, and health care and day care facilities
  • Updated references to more than 50 codes and standards such as the National Electrical Code®, NFPA 13: Installation of Sprinkler Systems and NFPA 72®: National Fire Alarm Code®


The occupancy-based format is highly acclaimed and used as a model for other documents. Today's LSC can be used in conjunction with a building code, or alone in your jurisdictions without adopting a building code. Order your copy of this critical document today! Approx. 404 pp.
