69A-55.002. Purpose

(1) The purpose of this rule chapter is to establish uniform requirements to provide a reasonable degree of safety from fire in buildings, structures or premises used as correctional facilities. (2) These rules try to avoid requirements which might result in unreasonable hardships, or unnecessary inconveniences or interference with the normal use and occupancy of a public food service establishment, but at the same time insist upon compliance with uniform standards for fire safety consistent with the public interest, even though a financial hardship may result in some individual cases.
