- Company Profile:
Established in 1896, NFPA's mission is to reduce the worldwide burden of fire and other hazards on the quality of life by providing and advocating consensus codes and standards, research, training, and education.
Debris resulting from natural events such as wind, fire, snow, or ice breakage; or from human activities such as building or road construction, logging, pruning, thinning, or brush cutting.
Industry:Fire safety
Dead loads consist of the weight of all materials of construction incorporated into the building including but not limited to walls, floors, roofs, ceilings, stairways, built-in partitions, finishes, cladding and other similarly incorporated architectural and structural items, and fixed service equipment including the weight of cranes.
Industry:Fire safety
Cylinders of compressed gas standing by on the site (not those in use or attached ready for use).
Industry:Fire safety
Current that is introduced into the grounding conductor by normal equipment operation, such as capacitive coupling. Many RFI/EMI filters in electronic equipment have capacitors from current-carrying conductors to the equipment-grounding conductor to shunt noise emitted from or injected into their power supplies. While there are relatively low current level limits imposed by regulatory agencies (e.g., UL specifies maximum 3. 5 mA, hospital equipment 0. 5 mA), not all equipment is listed. Even with listed equipment, the sum of the current from a large quantity of such equipment in a facility can result in significant ground currents.
Industry:Fire safety
Covered, shielded, fenced, enclosed, or otherwise protected by means of suitable covers, casings, barriers, rails, screens, mats, or platforms to remove the likelihood of approach or contact by persons or objects to a point of danger.
Industry:Fire safety
