About this Course:
As school districts and higher-education facilities work to improve school security, it’s critical that the requirements of the model codes and accessibility standards are followed. The 2018 editions of the International Building Code, International Fire Code, and NFPA 101 – Life Safety Code, all include changes specific to classroom doors. A Temporary Interim Amendment was approved in 2019, which further modifies the 2018 edition of NFPA 101. This webinar will cover the requirements of the model codes and the ADA Standards for Accessible Design that apply to classroom doors. We will discuss state legislation that may also have an impact on security decisions, and other considerations that should be taken into account when selecting classroom security products.
Learning Objectives:
- Become familiar with the requirements of the model code and accessibility standards that apply to classroom doors.
