Which NFPA code was released in 2012 and deals with healthcare safety?

NFPA 99
NFPA 80
NFPA 10
NFPA 25

The correct answer is: NFPA 99

NFPA 99 is the code that focuses specifically on healthcare facilities' safety and operational aspects. Released in 2012, this code provides guidance and standards for a variety of systems important to patient care, including medical gas and vacuum systems, electrical systems, and fire safety measures. The emphasis is on creating a safe and effective healthcare environment, thereby ensuring patient protection and improving the overall quality of healthcare services. In contrast, the other codes listed pertain to different safety elements that are not exclusively centered on healthcare. For instance, NFPA 80 deals with fire door and window assemblies, NFPA 10 focuses on portable fire extinguishers, and NFPA 25 relates to the inspection, testing, and maintenance of water-based fire protection systems. While these codes contribute to overall safety, they do not have the same comprehensive focus on healthcare safety as NFPA 99 does.
