NFPA 101 (Life Safety Code) requires that on-call sleep rooms provided in healthcare facilities must be protected by single-station smoke alarms or an automatic smoke detection system. This requirement ensures early warning for occupants who may be sleeping and unable to respond as quickly in an emergency.
B: Rated doors may be required in certain hazardous areas but are not the mandated feature for on-call sleep rooms.
C: Emergency call buttons are part of patient care areas, not sleep rooms.
D: Bathrooms are not required by Life Safety Code in on-call rooms.
