NFPA 101A, Guide on Alternative Approaches to Life Safety, offers a number of alternative approaches to life safety when used in conjunction with NFPA 101®, Life Safety Code®. This session will address what information is necessary to show that alternative compliance is achieved in your facility through the use of NFPA 101A methodology. The Fire Safety Evaluation System (FSES) measuring system and how it compares the level of safety provided through the use of safeguards that differ from the Life Safety Code will be discussed from the perspective of a reviewer. It will use the NFPA 101A score sheets and real world examples of deficient conditions offset by building and system enhancements to achieve a level of safety provided in a building that conforms exactly with the details of the Code.
