What does the term "Life-Safety" refer to when used in a question (i.e. Which of the following does not affect life-safety in an office building...?).
My understanding was life-safety refers to NFPA 101 (requirements for egress, features of fire protection, sprinkler systems, alarms, emergency lighting, smoke barriers, and special hazard protection).
Chen's book says ventilation is part of life-safety. I'd like to know if he's using the term loosely or if this is actually in the NFPA? What does the term refer to if it appears in a question (NFPA 101 or a Loose term meaning what is covered under CBC for Health Safety and Welfare)
Thanks for your input.
