Are you ready for your next survey? Have you implemented all NPFA 99 requirements?

Application of NFPA® 99 in Health Care Facilities: Overview (2 days)
NFPA 99, Health Care Facilities Code provides minimum health care facility requirements covering a broad spectrum of applications. The 2012 edition contains the most extensive changes since the inception of NFPA 99, including the change from a standard to a code and the shift to a risk-based approach. This course examines each topic area covered by the 2012 edition of NFPA 99. Other codes and standards are also referenced by NFPA 99. Where pertinent, these other codes and standards will be examined during this course to provide a more complete understanding of how NFPA 99 is applied to health care facilities.
