3.4 Fire and Life Safety Drawings Purpose The fire and life safety drawings are intended to depict the life safety code requirements and assist the OSHPD reviewer by providing a graphic view of fire and life safety compliance and egress compliance for the project. For new projects this will include identifying all components of the exit path and building features that provide fire protection and separation of individual occupancies. For renovation projects, these drawings will also include a description of existing exit paths, types and ratings of walls, and separations as well as indicate how the new work will maintain or modify the life safety requirements for compliance. The drawings should include special graphic floor plans, coordinated with detailed information on the construction floor plans. For smaller projects, a combined drawing is acceptable. Showing fire-rated walls on all architectural, mechanical, electrical, and deferred approval drawings will facilitate the plan review process. (OSHPD Best Practices) Page 22 DRAFT FINAL, Sept. 2011
