2012 NFPA 99: Health Care Facilities Code 2-day Seminar

Monday - Tuesday
Seminars begin promptly at 8:00 AM and end at 4:30 PM.

The 2012 NFPA 99's new risk-based approach offers better occupant safety in health care environments.

What's different about the 2012 edition of NFPA 99...and how will it impact your work? Dramatic changes in the 2012 edition of the renamed Health Care Facilities Code reflect the new environment of patient care where procedures are performed in a wide variety of locations -- requiring safety guidelines based on a risk-based framework to facilitate adoption and enforcement throughout our increasingly decentralized health care system.

In this all-new 2-day Seminar, health care authorities and code experts guide you through NFPA 99's revised content and complete reorganization, taking an in-depth look at how to conduct a risk-based analysis. Interactive training involves hands-on exercises and activities to give you a working knowledge of the new Health Care Facilities Code.
