Lunch & Learn Series:
Swinging Doors in Health Care Facilities – Requirements and Limitations of the Model Codes

Presented by Allegion

View Recording

Description

The model codes used in the U.S. include several requirements that are specific to health care facilities, and with new editions of the codes introduced every three years, it can be difficult to keep up with the mandates of the adopted codes and referenced standards. Whether it’s corridor doors leading to patient rooms, double egress pairs in smoke barriers, or controlled egress locks to deter elopement, having an understanding of these code requirements is crucial to ensuring that a health care facility’s doors are code-compliant. This lunch and learn will cover some of these areas of the codes and standards that affect health care facilities, with time for Q&A, and additional resources provided to refer to after the session.

Learner Objectives:

  • Understand the requirements related to corridor doors and doors in smoke barriers in health care facilities.
  • Differentiate between the locations where controlled egress and delayed egress applications should be used, and the code requirements that apply to each type of system.
  • Become familiar with the standards related to smoke doors, including gasketing requirements.
  • Know the requirements that apply to opening protectives (fire door assemblies), including the NFPA 80 requirements for fire door inspections.
