Safety Layering Update:
For the past 18 months we have been working on Safety Layering, a multi-year project with the goal of creating a matrix for code officials and others to technically evaluate layers of protection in an existing building. We piloted the matrix on “B” occupancies as part of a DHS-FP&S grant and are working with public and private partners to expand it to include the remaining occupancy types.
