Which NFPA standard focuses on Life Safety Code?

• A. NFPA 101
• B. NFPA 13
• C. NFPA 14
• D. NFPA 1

Answer: (A)

The Life Safety Code focuses on protecting occupants by establishing requirements for safe means of egress and general life-safety provisions in buildings. NFPA 101 is the standard named Life Safety Code, so it directly addresses these topics—exit access, exits, illumination, occupant protection, and related egress factors that determine whether people can safely escape in an emergency.

Other NFPA standards cover different fire protection areas: NFPA 13 deals with installing sprinkler systems, NFPA 14 covers standpipe and hose systems, and NFPA 1 is a broader Fire Code that governs fire prevention and overall fire protection but is not the specific Life Safety Code.
