NFPA 101 is used to determine compliance in which occupancies?

• A. Hospitals, schools, offices
• B. Only industrial facilities
• C. Only residential homes
• D. Outdoor stadiums exclusively

Answer: (A)

NFPA 101, the Life Safety Code, provides the minimum requirements to protect people from fire and related hazards across a wide range of building types. It is used to determine compliance for many occupancies, including healthcare facilities such as hospitals, educational buildings like schools, and business or office occupancies. It isn’t limited to industrial facilities, residential homes, or outdoor stadiums; those other choices either fall under different scopes or are not exclusive to a single code. By setting standards for means of egress, fire protection features, and other life-safety elements, NFPA 101 helps ensure safety in common occupancies like hospitals, schools, and offices.
