NFPA to offer life safety specialist certification for healthcare facility professionals

Certification recognizes advanced knowledge of life safety in healthcare; code compliance in facilities


The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) announced the launch of a new certification program, Certified Life Safety Specialist (CLSS-HC), designed for healthcare facility managers and based on the 2012 edition of NFPA 101, Life Safety Code, according to an article on the NFPA website. 

“This is the first offering among newly-designed specialist certifications built for facility managers, building engineers, and others who are responsible for ensuring safety at their facilities,” said Lauren D’Angelo, NFPA segment director. 

The CLSS-HC designation was developed in coordination with diverse subject matter experts in safety, and facility and building management. 

The program features a 100-item examination in addition to a set of re-certification requirements that must be completed within a three-year time period following the initial certification.
