Description
NFPA 99 is the primary document that establishes criteria for minimizing the hazards of fire, explosion, and electricity for health care services or systems according to risk to patients, staff, or visitors in health care facilities. This session will give an overview of the changes health care facilities can expect in the next edition of this code. Topics include electrical systems, medical gas systems, medical equipment, and fire protection features. This session will enable you to:
Summarize the major differences between the 2012 and the proposed 2015 editions of NFPA 99.
Describe the effects the changes may have on PDC projects.
Discuss and develop ASHE’s advocacy strategy.
Determine how the changes will affect your facility.
