Provisions the documents cite: progressive horizontal evacuation; compartmentation and sub-compartmentation of healthcare premises
What it requires
The design basis for fire safety in healthcare premises: progressive horizontal evacuation as the first-stage strategy, patients moved through a compartment wall into the adjoining compartment and only further where the fire demands it; the compartment and sub-compartment sizes and lines that make that possible; detection, alarm and the protection of escape routes.
