Apply NFPA 99 to
maximize safety in all types of health care facilities.
NFPA 99: Health Care Facilities
fosters fire safety and fire protection with rules for the
safe application of electrical systems, gas and vacuum systems, and
environmental systems, along with materials and emergency management practices.
The 2005 edition has been completely updated to
reflect recent developments in medical equipment and processes as well as new
methods to mitigate fire, explosion, and electrical hazards.
Among the new and revised requirements
that provide increased protection to patients and staff are:
- Changes to the emergency management
chapter provide better correlation with NFPA 1600:
Disaster/Emergency Management and Business Continuity Programs
- Extracted text from NFPA 110: Emergency
and Standby Power Systems presents specific guidance in the chapter on
electrical systems
- Two new pipe joining methods in the chapter on
gas and vacuum systems reduce the possibility of leaks and eliminate a
potential fire danger or loss of system use.
- Additional restrictions on types of fabric,
clothing, and materials that can be used in hyperbaric chambers improve
safety.
