Keeping Your business Compliant With NFPA Codes & Standards

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) develops, publishes and disseminates more than 300 consensus codes and standards intended to minimize the possibility and effects of fire and other risks.

Compliance with NFPA codes and standards helps protect lives and property from fire and other hazards. Many state and local jurisdictions have adopted NFPA codes as their own, making code compliance mandatory for businesses operating in those jurisdictions.

NFPA Code Compliance For Your Business

There are a number of ways to ensure your business is compliant with NFPA codes and standards, including:

1. Familiarize yourself with the applicable codes and standards.

2. Incorporate code requirements into your business operations.

3. Train your employees on code requirements relevant to their job duties.

4. Have a qualified professional review your operations for compliance with NFPA codes and standards.

5. Regularly review your operations to ensure continued compliance with NFPA codes and standards.

Some of the most common NFPA codes that businesses need to comply with include:

• NFPA 70: National Electrical Code (NEC) - Sets the minimum standards for electrical wiring and equipment in the United States

• NFPA 72: National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code - Establishes requirements for fire alarm systems, including smoke detectors and sprinklers

• NFPA 101: Life Safety Code - Addresses issues related to egress, sprinklers, exits, and other fire safety concerns in buildings

NFPA codes change every year and can also be influenced by the community for yearly changes.
