    The goals and objectives of NFPA 1 are to provide reasonable safety, property protection, and public welfare. Specifically, it aims to: 1) Ensure safety from fire, during building use, and from hazardous materials for occupants and emergency responders; 2) Limit damage to buildings from fires and explosions to a reasonable level; and 3) Maintain a high probability that buildings serving public welfare functions will continue operating after fires or other incidents.

    GOALS & OBJECTIVES OF NFPA 1
    The goal of this code shall be to provide:

    1- Reasonable Level of Safety.


    i- Safety from Fire.
    ii- Safety during building use.
    iii- Safety from Hazardous Materials.

    2- Property Protection.
    3- Public Welfare.

    1.1.G- SAFETY FROM FIRE GOALS


    1.1.1- To provide an environment for the occupants in a building or
    facility and for the public near a building or facility that is reasonably
    safe from fire and other emergencies.

    1.1.2- To protect fire fighters and emergency responders.


    1.1.O- SAFETY FROM FIRE
    OBJECTIVES
    1.1.1- Buildings and facilities shall be designed, constructed and maintained to
    protect occupants who are not intimate with the initial fire development for the
    amount of time needed to evacuate , relocate or defend in place.

    1.1.2- Buildings shall be designed and constructed to provide reasonable safety


    for fire fighters and emergency responders during search and rescue operation.

    1.1.3- Buildings shall be designed, located and constructed to reasonably


    protect adjacent persons from injury or death as a result of a fire.

    1.1.4- Buildings shall be designed, located and constructed to provide


    reasonably access to building for emergency responders.

    1.1.5- Operations shall be conducted at facilities in a safe manner that


    minimizes, reduces, control and mitigates the risk injury for fire or death while
    protecting the occupants not intimate with the initial fire development for the
    amount of time needed to evacuate , relocate or defend in place.
    1.2.G - SAFETY DURING BUILDING
    USE (GOAL)
    1.2.1- To provide an environment for the occupants in a building or facility and for
    the public near a building or facility that is reasonably safe during normal use of
    building.

    1.2.O - SAFETY DURING BUILDING USE


    OBJECTIVES
    1.2.1- Buildings shall be designed and constructed to reduce the probability of
    death and injury of person from falling during normal use of building.

    1.2.2- Buildings shall be designed and constructed to provide for reasonable safe
    crowd movement during emergency and non emergency conditions.

    1.2.3- Buildings shall be designed and constructed to provide reasonable life


    safety for occupants and workers during construction and demolition

    1.2.4- Buildings shall be designed and constructed to provide reasonable


    notification to occupants of fire and other emergency situations.
    1.2.5- Buildings shall be designed and constructed to provide reasonable signage
    and lighting to identify hazards, exits, means of egress, and other building safety
    features.

    1.3.G- SAFETY FROM HAZARDOUS


    MATERIALS GOAL
    1.3.1- To provide an environment for the occupants in a building or facility and to
    those adjacent to a building or facility that is reasonably safe from exposures to
    adverse affects from hazardous materials present therein.

    1.3.O- SAFETY FROM HAZARDOUS


    MATERIALS OBJECTIVES
    1.3.1-The storage, use, or handling of hazardous materials in a building or facility
    shall be accomplished in a manner that provides a reasonable level of safety for
    occupants and for those adjacent to a building or facility from health hazards,
    illness, injury, or death during normal storage, use, or handling operations and
    conditions.
    1.3.2- The storage, use, or handling of hazardous materials in a building or
    facility shall be accomplished in a manner that provides a reasonable level of
    safety for occupants and for those adjacent to a building or facility from illness,
    injury, or death due to the following conditions:

    I - An unplanned release of the hazardous material.


    II- A fire impinging upon the hazardous material or the involvement of the
    material in a fire.
    III- The application of an external force on the hazardous material that is likely to
    result in an unsafe condition.

    2.0.G- PROPERTY PROTECTION


    GOAL
    2.1- To limit damage created by a fire, explosion, or event associated with
    hazardous materials to a reasonable level to the building or facility and
    adjacent property.
    2.0.G- PROPERTY PROTECTION
    OBJECTIVE
    2.1- Prevention of Ignition The facility shall be designed, constructed, and
    maintained, and operations associated with the facility shall be conducted, to
    prevent unintentional explosions and fires that result in failure of or damage
    to adjacent compartments, emergency life safety systems, adjacent
    properties, adjacent outside storage, and the facility’s structural elements.

    2.2- Fire Spread and Explosions In the event that a fire or explosion occurs,
    the building or facility shall be sited, designed, constructed, or maintained,
    and operations associated with the facility shall be conducted and protected,
    to reasonably reduce the impact of unwanted fires and explosions on the
    adjacent compartments, emergency life safety systems, adjacent
    properties, adjacent outside storage, and the facility’s structural elements.

    2.3-Structural Integrity The facility shall be designed, constructed, protected,


    and maintained, and operations associated with the facility shall be
    conducted, to provide a reasonable level of protection for the facility, its
    contents, and adjacent properties from building collapse due to a loss of
    structural integrity resulting from fire.
    2.4- Hazardous Materials The facility shall be designed, constructed, and
    maintained, and operations associated with the facility shall be conducted,
    to provide reasonable property protection from damage resulting from fires,
