by Brianna Crandall — April 7, 2014—Leviton, manufacturer of electrical connectivity, security and automation solutions sold around the world, is responding to the growing demand by healthcare facilities managers, engineers, architects and builders for education and awareness related to the National Fire Protection Association’s NFPA 99: Health Care Facilities Code with a series of seminars designed to provide them with knowledge and solutions to help facilitate Code compliance.
NFPA 99 establishes criteria to minimize the hazards related to patient, staff and visitor risk in healthcare facilities. As healthcare facilities managers look to bring their facilities up to Code, Leviton’s interactive seminars will help explain the nuances of the Code and identify available solutions to reduce risks. Presented by certified instructors through the NFPA, the seminars will cover electrical systems and equipment, features of fire protection, risk assessment, and process of Code development and enactment.
Leviton and the National Fire Protection Association will host the free seminars across the United States throughout 2014. Attendees will earn continuing education units (CEU) for the full-day course and be provided with a copy of the NFPA 99: Health Care Facilities Code book.
Tapping into the company’s century of experience, Leviton develops state-of-the-art hospital-grade wiring devices, high-speed data connections, and energy-saving lighting controls that contribute to a safer, more efficient environment at healthcare facilities around the country, from operating rooms and nurse stations to kitchens and parking lots.
