fire & BUILDING . SAFETY code . Introduction Since 1972 the State of Vermont has adopted nationally recognized SAFETY standards to protect the public from fire and explosion hazards and establish standards for fire SAFETY . Standards for boiler SAFETY have been in place even longer. Vermont is able to benefit from the research and fire SAFETY experience from experts across the nation in every area of expertise by using nationally recognized SAFETY standards in this code . The national standards are amended only when necessary to address conditions specific to Vermont, stay within the limits set by law or to clarify interpretations of certain sections. The 2015 Vermont fire & BUILDING SAFETY code establishes the process to obtain a construction or operating permit lists the codes and standards that are adopted and describes the process used to evaluate and grant a variance or exemption from the code . The annexes to this code are designed to help people understand the state laws related to fire , explosion, hazardous materials, structural SAFETY and carbon monoxide, and enable people to understand and take advantage of the flexibility built into this code for historic buildings.

This Code has been designed to minimize any conflict or difference between adopted codes and standards. Where there is a conflict or difference between the codes the Life Safety Code (NFPA 101) or Fire Code (NFPA 1) shall apply. Where one code has a requirement and another code does not have a requirement the code with a requirement shall apply.
