• Life Safety Code
Life Safety Code
• Things we will try to cover today:
• History
• Where these rules come from and who is
responsible for enforcing the code?
• Who’s job is on the line if something unsafe
happens.
• Ways to stay ahead of the inspectors.
Where does the authority come from for
Regional Superintendents to inspect schools?
• Since 1915, Regional Superintendents have
been charged with the duty to “…inspect the
building plans and specifications of public
school rooms and buildings…” (ILSC 5/3-14.20)
• “…Inspect and survey all public schools under
his or her supervision…” (ILCS 5/3-14.20)
Added Responsibilities
1965- Duty to review and approve Safety Survey
Reports (ILCS 5/2-3.12 as amended)
• Included duty to review and approve amounts
of funds to be raised through tax levies or sale
of bonds for fire prevention, safety, energy
conservation, handicapped accessibility,
school security and specific repair purposes
(ILCS 5/2-3.12 and 5/17-2.11)
History and development of codes
• The Health/Life Safety codes that we follow
every day in our buildings come from a History
of tragedies that led to the creation of codes.
Some of the first recordable codes were
defined in the early 1800’s.
History-Free School Act
• 1825…The introduction of the “Free School
Act” which charged local voters of districts to
create regulations for building and repairing
school houses as they saw necessary.
History – Public Building Egress Act
• In 1874, in response to the Famed “Chicago
Fire” the Legislature passed the “Public
Building Egress Act.”
• In 1915 the Safety and Sanitation Law
required the Superintendent of Public
Instruction to create specifications for
minimum requirements for Heating and
Ventilation and Safety against FIRE.
History and HLS Creation
• In December of 1958 there was a horrific and
tragic fire at Our Lady of Angels school. Many
children and teachers died. This event led to
the establishment of the code drafting
committee.
History 1963 to now
• 1963- State Superintendent issued Circular
series A-157 (Part 185) entitled “Building
Specifications for Health and Safety in Public
Schools” and (Part 175) which was titled
“Efficient and Adequate Standards for the
Construction of Schools.”
• Currently, (Part 180)entitled “Health/Life
Safety Code for Public Schools” is in effect for
new schools.
Life Safety Code
• What is the main purpose of the annual
building inspection?
Summary of reasons for HLS Code
• To ensure that schools are
safe, sanitary, and fit for
occupancy.
Which Code???
• Building Officials and Code Administrators
(BOCA)
• •Published the BOCA National Building Code
and other National Codes
• •In 2003 BOCA, International Conference of
Building Officials (ICBO) and Southern Building
Code Congress International (SBCCI)
consolidated to become the International
Code Council
What is IBC?
• International Building Code
• The International Code Council, made up of
representatives from the three model code groups,
BOCA National Building Code, ICBO Uniform Building
Code and SBCCI Standard Building Code, was formed
in 1994 to develop a single model code.
• In 2003 this became the International Building Code
For some confusion
• When are Parts 180, 185, and 175 of the Illinois
Administrative Code used in the inspection of a building?
• Timeline for code maintenance requirements:
• Part 185 Before 07/01/1965
• Part 175 07/01/1965 to 03/23/1995
• Part 180 (BOCA 93) 03/24/1995 to 07/05/1998
• Part 180 (BOCA 96) 07/06/1998 to 10/02/2005
• Part 180 (IBC 2003) 10/03/2005 to 09/24/2007
• Part 180 (IBC 2006) 09/25/2007 to 12/31/2009
• Part 180 (IBC 2009) 01/01/2010 to present
How are Parts 180, 185
and 175 applied?
• Every new facility and or structure must conform to
Part 180 requirements.
• Existing facilities may be maintained in compliance
with the code that applied to the facility when built.
(BOCA 93 Fire Prevention Code and Property
Maintenance Code are retroactive.)
• All equipment, systems, devices and safeguards must
be maintained in good working order.
How Often
• Required by law once a year.
• BUT!!!
• Facilities may be inspected more frequently at
the discretion of the Regional Superintendent.
• Includes facilities rented or leased by the district
and used for school purposes.
Simple Advice
• Think about safety all year…Not just before an
inspection.
• Don’t look the other way when you see a
violation..Door stops, clutter, Blocked egress
etc…
• Add Health and Life Safety items to your PM
Schedule and document things you inspect.
– Emergency lights…Exit signs etc…
Simple Advice
• Share the inspection checklist with Principals,
B&G Personnel so that people can correct
problems as they arise.
• Treat your ten year inspection as a planning
guide for projects. Unless safety is an
immediate and evident issue, You will likely be
overridden when it comes to other projects
taking less priority than Life Safety projects.

Integrated Pest Management
What Is IPM
in Illinois
Schools and Childcares
• IPM is a Proven, Preventative Approach
• IPM is the safest and smartest way to work on
troublesome pest issues.
• The goal of IPM is to prevent pests in the first
place. Rather than treat and "re-treat" over
and over again.
• Even when treating for pests, non-chemical
methods are desirable as first line of defense
Steps in IPM
• Inspect all areas in and around your School
• Identify potential pest problems and conditions that
are conducive to infestation.
– Food in classrooms
– Clutter
– Gaps and holes in walls etc..
• Select appropriate preventative methods, based on
each potential pest issue
• Apply materials only as necessary - correctly and
carefully - so your employees and stakeholders are
not exposed. Powders and Baits are most common.
Common Pests in School Settings
• Flies and cockroaches may spread disease.
• Cockroaches can cause allergies and asthma
attacks.
• Yellow jacket stings are painful and can be lifethreatening to those with allergies.
• Spiders may inflict painful bites and some may
pose a health risk.
Common Pests in School Settings
• Mice may contaminate food, trigger asthma attacks
and cause structural damage.
• Termites cause structural damage.
• Low risk Aesthetic problems include weeds invading
playgrounds; ants swarming and fruit flies in the
kitchen
• Another common problem for schools is weeds.
Unsightly, Allergens, Sports Field Nightmares.
Including larve of Japanese beetles
IPM Right to Know
• Illinois law requires schools and Childcare
facilities to use IPM.
• Even in the course of IPM there will be need
to control pests using non-natural methods.
• If you find yourself in a situation that
pesticides, including herbicides, have to be
applied…Notifications have to be made.
•
Notifications and Process
• Parents and Staff
• Notifications may appear in newsletters,
calendars, Bulletins and other correspondence
currently published by the school
• Notification may also be by letters to
individuals
• Two Business days before application…No
more that 30 days prior to application.
– No annual application calendar!
Notification process
• Include the Date(s) of application and contact
information of the person responsible.
Generally the Facility Manager.
Exempt Materials
• Applications of the following pesticides are
not subject to the notification requirement.
– Anti-Microbial Agents
•
•
•
•
•
Disinfectants
Sanitizers
Deoderizers
Insecticide Baits –
Rodenticide Baits
Emergency Applications
• Prior written notice IS NOT required if there is
an imminent threat to health or property.
Notification must be made as soon as possible
with an explaination of the circumstances that
lead to the emergency application.
• REMEMBER…Regularly scheduled applications
are NOT a part of an IPM program. Constant
monitoring and deterrents are more
desireable.

OSHA/IDOL
Topics for Today
• GHS
• Hazard Communication
• Personal Protective Equipment
• Lockout/Tagout
• Lifts & fall protection
A brief overview of a few select OSHA programs. Presentation should not be
construed as a comprehensive session covering all OSHA regulations.
IDOL or OSHA?
Non-Public Buildings/Employees
• OSHA has jurisdiction
Public Buildings (including municipal and schools)
• Illinois Department of Labor (IDOL) has jurisdiction
• IDOL has adopted OSHA standards
Hazard Communication
OSHA 29CFR 1910.1200
• Who has a hazard communication program?
• Is it compliant with the standard?
Key Elements
• Written Program
• Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)
– Safety Data Sheets (SDS)
• Chemical Inventory
• Training
• Labeling
Written Program
How the School will Meet Requirements:
1. Labeling/warning information
2. MSDS (SDS in future)
3. Employee Information and Training
4. List of Hazardous Chemicals
5. Hazards of “non-routine” tasks
6. Outside contractor/visitor communication
*Program must be available upon request
HazCom vs. GHS
GHS
• Transition to Safety Data Sheets (SDS)
– Follow a 16 section format
– Organizes and simplifies the present information
