In IFC 404.2 (2009) it says that F occupancy type has to prepare a fire safety and evac plan but it says that is only for the building having an occupant load of 500 or more persons or more than 100 persons above or below the lowest level of exit discharge. Then in IFC Table 405.2 (2009), it says Group F has to do a fire and evacuation drill once a year, of employees.... it doesn't say that only certain sizes have to do the drills. So, this would mean that *every* F occupancy has to do the annual drill, regardless of occupant load or number of persons??? Or was it meant to have the footnote "c" on the F occupancy (and then also modify the footnote itself to include F occupancy?) It seems like F occupancy is the only one on the drill table that thus includes some places which don't prepare a plan... smaller places though, so maybe they don't need a plan, but it was still necessary they have a drill?
I'm sorry, I hope this is explained well. I was at work all giddy just thinking maybe I've found a typo in the code... lol
