Info

© 2012 National Fire Protection Association Why Is Construction Type Important? • Construction Type is important because it prevents the building from collapsing before all occupants can escape. • The slower the occupants, the longer the building must stand. Do you have any slow occupants in your building? • The taller the building, the longer it takes for occupants to get to the ground floor and out of the building.
Evacuation Capability • Prompt – Able to recognize a danger and evacuate quickly. Least building protection required. • Slow – Able to recognize a danger and evacuate slowly or with minor assistance. Some building protection required. • Impractical – Not expected to evacuate without rescuer assistance. Maximum building protection required.
