23 ISSUES DISCUSSED AT LIFE SAFETY CODE MANAGERS MEETING IN CHICAGO (April 14 15, 2010)
24 ADOPTION OF A MORE CURRENT EDITION OF NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION (NFPA) STANDARD 101 (LIFE SAFETY CODE) CMS staff indicated d that t they are considering i adoption of the 2012 edition of the Life Safety Code Adoption would occur in 2014 or later
25 INTERIOR FINISHES NFPA TIA (Temporary Interim Amendment) 00-2 amends Section 10.2 of National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard 101 (Life Safety Code, 2000 edition) Exception No. 2 has been added to
26 INTERIOR FINISHES (cont.) The exception reads: Approved existing installations i of materials applied directly to the surface of walls and ceilings in a total thickness of less than 1/28 in. (0.9 mm) shall be permitted to remain in use and the provisions i of f through h shall not apply. Effective March 24, 2010
27 WHAT DOES THIS MEAN TO US? CMS staff indicated that it would take approximately 30 months to adopt this new TIA If you have a SINGLE LAYER of wall paper installed with no documentation, o and you want to maintain this wall paper, it is recommended that you determine e e the thickness of the wall paper (use a micrometer)
28 WHAT DOES THIS MEAN TO US? A waiver for K014 and/or K015 may be possible with proof of thickness (pending adoption of the TIA)
29 FIRE WATCH POLICY Reference NFPA 101 (00), and It is expected that a facility will implement a fire watch if the automatic fire alarm system or automatic sprinkler system is out of service for more than four (4)hours
30 FIRE WATCH POLICY (cont.) The written policy must indicate that the fire watch be continuous A written policy is required to address either of these systems being out of service
31 FIRE WATCH POLICY (cont.) It was verified that continuous means that the fire watch person(s) are not permitted to perform any other duties while they are assigned fire watch duties A detailed explanation of the fire watch policy is included din the Life Safety Code Documentation Project
32 GAS-FIRED FIREPLACES Reference NFPA 101 (00), 18/ Nothing new on this issue although MDH and SFMD have anecdotal indication that CMS may be willing to view this equipment as a heating device
33 GAS-FIRED FIREPLACES (cont.) Good article in the January/February 2010 edition of the NFPA Journal A strong effort is being made to revise the 2012 edition of the Life Safety Code to allow for a more caring and comfortable living environment (commonly referred to as culture change )
34 GAS-FIRED FIREPLACES (cont.) Gas-fired fireplaces are mentioned in the referenced article
35 SPRINKLER PROTECTION OF ELEVATOR SHAFTS, HOISTWAYS AND PITS ALL certified nursing homes must be fully sprinkled in accordance with NFPA Standard 13 by Tuesday, August 13, 2013 A facility in Minnesota has proposed using the exception to LSC 18/ to eliminate sprinklers in the elevator machine room
36 SPRINKLER PROTECTION OF ELEVATOR SHAFTS, HOISTWAYS AND PITS (cont.) Exceptions to NFPA Standard d 13, , provide a means to eliminate the sprinklers required din the hoistway and pit CMS made it quite clear that alternative protection measures means (to them) an alternate extinguishing method
37 SPRINKLER PROTECTION OF CLOSETS In discussing the sprinkler mandate, CMS staff reiterated the requirements regarding sprinkler protection of closets (reference S&C-05-38) We all know that at least one sprinkler head is required inside a closet
38 SPRINKLER PROTECTION OF CLOSETS (cont.) Of particular interest was a statement regarding evaluation of the location of the sprinkler heads relative to the face of the permanently affixedwardrobe Please assure that you know the radius of the coverage pattern for the sprinkler heads protecting the permanently affixed wardrobes
39 SPRINKLER PROTECTION OF CLOSETS (cont.) If the radius of coverage does not include the entire face of the permanently affixed wardrobe (side to side and top to bottom), the facility may be determined d to be partially sprinkled
40 HOW ARE WE DOING?? Of the 385 SNFNF and NF facilities, 72 are partially sprinkled and 13 have no sprinkler protection 300, or 78% of Minnesota s certified nursing homes and boarding care homes are fully sprinkled
41 PROCEDURE IN CASE OF FIRE Reference NFPA 101 (00), 18/ CMS staff discussed the requirements for a complying health care occupancy fire safety plan Good examples of this plan are included in the Good examples of this plan are included in the Life Safety Code Documentation Project
42 SO THAT S WHAT THEY LOOK FOR CMS staff prepared a good PowerPoint presentation that is really an inside look into Form CMS-2786R MDH has requested an electronic copy of the presentation so that the Minnesota Health Care Engineers Association, Care Providers of Minnesota, and Aging Services of Minnesota can post the presentation on their respective web sites
