TO MEANS OF EGRESS SERIES BY MEYERFIRE UNIVERSITY | JANUARY 2023  \nSUMMARY  \nA life safety plan is the document that demonstrates code-compliance for a building, specifically with regards to means of egress and life safety.  \n• These might sometimes be called “exiting plans,” “fire and life safety plans,”“egress plans,”“code sheets,” or “code summaries.”  \n• Life Safety Plans are different than Fire Safety, Evacuation and Lockdown plans that are required by IBC 1002.2 or IFC Sections 403 and 404.  \nThose address operational evacuation for specific high-risk or high-occupant buildings.  \n• Life Safety Plans often include a narrative portion, which establishes criteria and a code compliance path, and a plan-based portion, which documents on floor plans the different means of egress requirements.  \n• Narratives for life safety documents often include: • Plans for life safety documents often include:  \no List of Applicable Codes/Standards o Identification of exits  \no Occupancies Present (including special occupancies) o Exit Capacities (Provided versus required)  \no Allowable Height/Area/Stories Calculations o Occupant Loads  \no Construction Type o Travel Distances (to exit, common path and dead end  \no Fire Resistance Ratings corridors)  \no Life Safety/Fire Protection Systems Present o Exit Access Separation Requirements  \no Allowable Travel Distances (for Maximum Travel, Common o Fire Ratings of walls/floors/doors Path, and Dead End) o Fire Extinguisher Locations  \no A Number of Occupant Summary o Fire Protection Standpipe Locations  \no A Number of Exit Summary o Exit Signs  \no The Minimum of Required Plumbing Fixtures o Fire Department Connection Locations  \no And Other Information o Additional specific information (such as egress locking arrangements, smoke compartments, suites, atrium boundaries, chemical control areas and other information)  \nNarrative Portion of Life Safety Plans  \n(Often in a written, table, matrix, or number and text format)  \nPlans Portion of Life Safety Plans  \n(Will document means of egress requirements on floor plans)  \nVIDEO LINK GET MORE LIKE THIS
