HAR §12-45.5-98. Emergency egress drills in schools

Section 20.2.4.2.3, paragraph (1) is amended by adding a new exception at the end to read as follows: Exception: Fire drills at high schools, middle schools, and intermediate schools shall be conducted at least quarterly during school sessions. [Eff ] (Auth: HRS §132-3) (Imp: HRS §132-3) This was in the previous state fire code. It allows fire drills at high and middle schools to be conducted quarterly instead of monthly. The older age groups should be able to retain the fire drill information and practices better than elementary age students. This is placed at the end of Item (1) because that is where the monthly requirement is located. The section heading is amended to mirror NFPA 1 “Emergency Egress Drills”, “in schools” was added in by Lloyd to clarify the application.)
