Life Safety Code
The Life Safety Code (LSC) is a set of guidelines developed by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) to ensure the safety of occupants in buildings during emergencies. It covers various aspects, including building design, construction, and occupancy requirements, aimed at minimizing risks associated with fire and other hazards.
The LSC provides standards for emergency exits, fire alarms, and sprinkler systems, helping to protect lives in residential, commercial, and industrial settings. Compliance with the Life Safety Code is often required by local laws and regulations, making it an essential reference for architects, builders, and safety professionals.
