8 4. The process staff PowerPoint presentation. Staff explained the revision schedule and particulars for committee actions at the First Draft meeting via the slides included in the agenda. 5. Correlating committee minutes with direction for 2018 editions. The committee reviewed the subject areas raised by the NFPA 101 and NFPA 5000 Correlating Committees. 6. Core chapters, first revisions of interest staff review. The committee reviewed key changes made to the core chapters by the FUN, MEA, FIR, BSF and INT committees, especially those formatted with the words where required by Chapters 11 through 43 and, thus, need to be referenced specifically within the occupancy chapters if they are to apply. First Revisions (FRs) and, in some cases, Committee Inputs (CIs) were drafted, as deemed appropriate by the committee. 7. FPRF egress modeling. First Revisions (FRs) were developed to increase hospital smoke compartment size. 8. FPRF AHC occupant load factor. The 150 ft 2 /person occupant load factor that was revised for the 2015 edition of the Code was retained without further change. 9. Australian nursing home fire report link. The committee noted that link provided with the meeting agenda stopped working. The following link (as provided by James Rickard) was active at time of preparation of these minutes: easons%20-%20quakers%20hill%20fire.pdf 10. Corridor projections. First Revisions (FRs) were developed to address the subject. 11. Corridor ceilings. First Revision (FR) was developed to address the subject. 12. Health care occupancy changed to ambulatory health care. Subject noted as received. 13. Missing corridor door latch. First Revision (FR) for annex text developed to address the subject. 14. Monitoring exterior valves. Discussion ensued that sprinkler system starts where pipe leaves main (i.e., where municipal meets proprietary), so supervision is needed if the piping is proprietary. Yet, there are existing, nonsupervised valves buried in the street. No action taken. 15. NFPA 101 First Draft preparation. All NFPA 101 Public Inputs (PI) were addressed. First Revisions (FR) and Committee Inputs (CI) were prepared as needed. 16. NFPA 5000 First Draft preparation. All NFPA 5000 Public Inputs (PI) were addressed. First Revisions (FR) and Committee Inputs (CI) were prepared as needed. NFPA 101/5000 TC ON HEALTH CARE OCCUPANCIES FIRST DRAFT MEETING MINUTES 3 Page 8 of 157

32 of 2 6/1/2016 9:19 AM First Revision No NFPA [ New Section after 9.13 ] 9.14 Risk Analysis for Mass Notification Systems Where Required. Where required by Chapters 11 through 43, a risk analysis for mass notification systems shall be provided in accordance with the requirements of NFPA 72 and the provisions of through Considerations. The risk analysis required by shall additionally address all of the following considerations: (1) Fire and non-fire emergencies (2) Specific nature and anticipated risks of each facility (3) Characteristics of associated buildings, areas, spaces, campuses, equipment, and operations Emergency Communications System. An emergency communications system in accordance with NFPA 72 shall be provided where need for such is identified by the risk analysis required by , commensurate with the likelihood, vulnerability, magnitude, and potential consequences of emergencies Emergency Action Plan. The completed emergency action plan in accordance with Section 4.8 shall be used for the design of the mass notification/emergency communications system. Submitter Full Name: SAF-BSF Organization: [ Not Specified ] Submittal Date: Wed Jul 29 18:09:15 EDT 2015 Committee Statement and Meeting Notes Committee Statement: This first revision seeks to provide a requirement to conduct a risk analysis and create an emergency action plan for occupancies where required by Chapters The need for effective emergency communications in the United States came into sharp focus in the 20th century in response to threats to homeland security and our educational occupancies. We have learned from the recent incidents that occurred in our college/university campuses, and other buildings, and have created installation guidelines to be followed for life safety. [Aurora, CO. Theater 2012; Columbine 1999; Virginia Tech 2007; Sandy Hook 2012; Weather Tornadoes/Storms]. // The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) School Safety, Codes and Security Workshop was held December 3 4, 2014 in College Park, Maryland, and was sponsored and hosted by NFPA. The resulting report highlights the need for real time communication systems in appropriate occupancies. // NFPA 72, National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code, has a chapter dedicated to emergency communication systems. This contains the detailed information on the risk analysis and emergency action plan as required in the above proposed sections. // This is NOT intended to require a mass notification system. There are many elements contained within a mass notification system. The process of the risk analysis will outline what is needed based on risk and engineering study for the occupancy. It will be the responsibility of the occupancy to react to the risk assessment. // A task group has been appointed to further review the location of the proposed material in Ch. 9. The committee requests the Correlating Committee review this action in conjunction with any related actions by the TC on Fundamentals and the occupancy chapter committees to ensure the provisions are appropriately coordinated. The committee also requests the Correlating Committee review the scope of the TC on Building Service and Fire Protection Equipment to recommend any needed changes to accommodate the addition of the proposed language.

34 of 259 5/17/2016 9:43 AM Public Comment No. 160-NFPA [ Global Input ] After reviewing the CI on grab bars - ASHE/AHA does not agree that grab bars for new and existing for fall protection are appropriate for healthcare occupancies where the bather is typically attended. There is nothing that prevents hospitals from installing them if they feel there is a risk to their patient. Statement of Problem and Substantiation for Public Comment this provision is unnecessary in the hospital or nursing home environment. bathing in hospitals and NH continues on a downward trend and those that do need to bath it is done at the bed or with an attendant.

35 of 259 5/17/2016 9:43 AM Public Comment No. 196-NFPA [ Global Input ] The Ambulatory Surgery Center Association (ASCA) questions the necessity of the proposal in the 2018 edition of NFPA 101, found at , that would require grab bars on all Bathtubs, Bathtub-Shower Combinations and Showers. This is beyond ADA requirements, and grab bars for new and existing facilities for fall protection are not appropriate for healthcare occupancies where the bather is typically attended. For ASCs, patients do not bath or shower, and staff rarely do. The hardware would serve no practical purpose and provide no tangible benefit. Statement of Problem and Substantiation for Public Comment Deleting this proposed language would save ASCs the cost of purchasing hardware that serves no practical purpose and provide no tangible benefit for ASCs.

36 21 of 259 5/17/2016 9:43 AM Public Comment No. 152-NFPA [ Section No ] * Sections of health care facilities shall be permitted to be classified as other occupancies, provided that they meet both of the following conditions: (1) They are not intended to provide services simultaneously for four or more inpatients for purposes of housing, treatment, or customary access by inpatients incapable of self-preservation. (2) They are separated from areas of health care occupancies by construction having a minimum 2-hour fire resistance rating in accordance with Chapter 8. (3) The requirement of (2) shall not apply to ambulatory health care occupancies located with a health care occupancy Statement of Problem and Substantiation for Public Comment Ambulatory health care occupancies and health care occupancies are often intermingled within hospitals. Currently the Code does not specifically allow ambulatory health care occupancies to be located within a health care occupancy without providing a 1-hour fire resistance rated occupancy separation. The safeguards required by health care occupancies are sufficient to permit ambulatory health care occupancies to be located within health care occupancies.

37 Public Comment No. 171-NFPA [ Section No ] General. Every aisle, passageway, corridor, exit discharge, exit location, and access shall be in accordance with Chapter 7, unless otherwise modified by through Where bathtubs, bathtub-shower combinations, or showers are present, grab bars shall be provided in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Problem and Substantiation for Public Comment The proposed new text is based on standard text proposed for adoption by several NFPA 101 occupancy chapter committees in mid Given the text of the current, prior sentence (18.2.1) the proposed text might be redundant as nowhere that I can find in the current Chapter 18 requirements is there provision for exempting Chapter 7's proposed new requirements of bath tubs, bathtub-shower combinations and showers. Thus the proposed language for the body of the Code could easily be made a simple annex item so the new rules are not missed. There has been significant work on the topic in recent months but not yet held are any discussions that I am aware of, for example, by a task group formed in August 2015 on this topic and including, as a member, Public Health Nurse Linda Strobl who was (with me) the co-proponent of the original public input No I am appending below, the lengthy justification for the slight reworking of Public Input No. 341 (within my Public Comment No. 170) to underline that, beyond what was provided as justification for the original Public Input, there is far more now warranting the changes to NFPA 101 on this topic. ALSO PLEASE NOTE THAT WHATEVER CHANGE IS MADE IN CHAPTER 18 OF NFPA 101, THE SAME CHANGE SHOULD BE MADE IN NFPA 500O FOR HEALTH CARE OCCUPANCIES. The proposed changes to the originally proposed text resulted from months of consultation with experts in the US and Canada, especially during a face-to-face meeting held in Toronto on March 31 and April 1, In addition, editorial changes are based on those suggested by one of the experts, Marsha Mazz, from the US Access Board and member of NFPA's Disability Advisory Review Committee. At the face-to-face meeting there was extensive discussion and consensus on provision of a vertical grab bar on the wall opposite the control-end wall, especially where (as is fairly common in smaller bathrooms) water supply and drainage, for toileting, bathing/showering and other washing, etc. are located on a common wall. This leads to a significant portion of the length of a typical bathtub, at the control wall end, being partly obstructed, typically by a water closet. The substantive revisions suggested in this comment address this issue effectively by providing more flexibility in grab bar provision than first proposed. Also reflecting expert input from the meeting, is the revision to the lower height threshold for vertical grab bars for bathtubs and bathtubshower combinations used by shorter adults and children, especially in either the bathing mode or the shower mode. The additional grab bar length specified is not a major cost issue as wall-mounted (or other) grab bar length is not a large component of purchase cost and does not significantly affect installation cost. The combination of purchase and installation costs, per bathroom, is quite comparable to the average, per-household cost of bathing/showering/toileting-related fall injuries occurring over a two or three-year period in the USA. Usability is a benefit of at least similar value and this is especially significant for older users. The addition of toileting-related usability and safety in the considerations behind the proposals and comments is especially related to the dual benefits of the pole-type grab bars that can serve not only the bathing/showering transfer functions but the more pervasive use of water closets, particularly in smaller bathrooms that are found in large proportions of bathrooms in all types of facilities. There has also been much study of actual installations, especially as one of the original proponents travels extensively and uses many bathing/showering facilities in hotels around the world. This provided additional insights justifying and, in some respects, suggesting fine-tuning of the concepts at the core of the first revision proposal. Work has also been done especially on the addition of grab bars to existing bathtubs and bathtub-shower combinations i.e., not just new facilities. The vertical poles (plus some horizontally-oriented poles at the back wall of bathtubs) show great promise for relatively inexpensive and highly functional grab bars in retrofit situations for existing facilities, including those in rental properties where holes cannot be made in walls (as is the case for conventional, wall-mounted grab bars. There has also been much attention given, in consultation with top experts on injury epidemiology and costs to the relatively high risks and consequences of falls involving not only bathing/showering but also toileting. Much of this will be reflected in national and international conferences being held in Canada, the US and the UK prior to or shortly after the public comments are addressed by NFPA committees. These include two national and international conferences focused on falls and two national conference focused on public health generally. More information on these will be shared directly with NFPA committee members responsible for this core menu item and for scoping in all or most occupancy chapters of NFPA 101 and NFPA Significantly, due to the crush of preparation for such conferences (in which the submitter of these comments is deeply involved as an organizer and presenter), it is not possible to submit parallel comments for NFPA 101. Therefore, it is explicitly requested that in all cases, the committees process these comments in relation to both codes. Finally, the conferences as well as the recent, face-to-face meeting of several US and Canadian experts are all documented with video. The Page 37 of of 259 5/17/2016 9:43 AM
