Dont leave your findings open to challenge. Use scientific methodology to protect your work.
Failing to follow NFPA 921 is the same as asking the court to exclude your testimony, says John Lentini, CFI, CFEI, D-ABC of Scientific Fire Analysis LLC in Big Pine Key, Florida. In response to court decisions, the 2011 NFPA 921 goes further to prepare fire investigators to render accurate opinions based on approved methods.

NFPA 921 is the yardstick that the courts apply to determine if expert testimony will be used or excluded.
In a major rewrite to Chapter 18, the 2011 NFPA 921 emphasizes a scientific methodology to follow in determining fire cause, which will help fire investigators avoid inappropriate use of the process of elimination. The Daubert ruling put the onus on the judge to be the gatekeeper of expert testimony, and this edition of NFPA 921 continues to raise the bar of professionalism for the fire investigation community.

Prevent system failures and malfunctions with NFPA 25.

Keep pace with added 2011 safeguards that raise confidence in every fire protection plan.
Sprinkler systems can reduce the average property loss by nearly 70% in the event of a fire. However, improper maintenance can result in less sprinkler effectiveness or even catastrophic system failure. The 2011 NFPA 25: Inspection, Testing, and Maintenance of Water-Based Fire Protection Systems provides new criteria to help maintenance professionals, inspectors, and building owners keep systems in top working order. owner needs the 2011 NFPA 25. Adopted by jurisdictions nationwide, this essential Standard provides the most complete and up-to-date inspection, testing, and maintenance rules for fire sprinkler systems, standpipe and hose systems, fire pumps, fire service piping and appurtenances, foam-water, fixed water spray, water storage tanks, and valves. A revised Chapter One clarifies the role NFPA 25 plays in a building fire protection plan. NFPA 25 governs impairment handling and reporting so youre ready to troubleshoot and resolve issues. Theres also a flexible means of compliance for designers and owners. Previous editions of NFPA 25 introduced practical guidance on how to implement and monitor a performance-based process, subject to AHJ approval.
Continuous maintenance is so vital to reliability and performance, NFPA 13 requires installers to leave a copy of NFPA 25 with property owners.
Proper design, installation, and acceptance testing of sprinklers are only the beginning. Systems have to be ready to respond every hour of every day, so they have to be maintained all the time. Thats why every building

Use NFPA 654 to reduce fire and explosion risks.

Follow the gold standard for protecting lives and property around combustible dust hazards.
Tragic experiences in the United States in a number of industries attest to the risk of fire and explosion where combustible particulate solids or hybrid mixtures are manufactured, processed, blended, pneumatically conveyed, repackaged, or handled. In fact, according to the U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board (CSB) there were more than 280 dust explosions from 1980 to 2005, resulting in 199 deaths and 718 injuries.
apply NFPA 654s effective provisions to identify dust hazards and establish control measures.
OSHAs Combustible Dust National Emphasis Program (NEP) indicates that combustible dust safety inspections are on the rise in federal and state jurisdictions, and OSHAs compliance inspectors currently rely on NFPA 654 for mitigation strategies. The Standard provides fundamental, industry-recognized safety practices for:

NFPA 3 makes system commissioning and integrated testing clear.

Developed in response to a request from the National Institute of Building Sciences (NIBS), landmark new NFPA 3: Commissioning and Integrated Testing of Fire Protection and Life Safety Systems outlines a process for the commissioning and integrated testing of interconnected safety systems. This important new document is a breakthrough in building safetyoffering building owners, designers, and AHJs a reliable way to verify that active and passive systems are optimized to function as intended.
Graphics include flowcharts depicting building system relationships and interconnections.
NFPA 3 encompasses procedures, methods, responsibilities, and documentation.

Adaptable for all types of systemsfire protection suppression and control, fire alarm, emergency communications, smoke control, power, fire doors, commercial cooking operations, elevators, and moreNFPA 3 spells out:
all-new NFPA 3 bridges a critical gap in building safety.

Lack of accountability for the commissioning of fire protection and life safety systems jeopardizes system functionalityand causes conflicts between designers, contractors, owners, and AHJs. NFPA 3 resolves these issues with a complete commissioning program for system start-up and testing.
Qualifications of commissioning team members such as job titles and necessary skill sets Thirteen categories for a commissioning team appropriate to the project size and scope Guidelines for an integrated testing plan developed by an integrated testing agent Direction for retro-commissioning (RCx) and re-commissioning (Re-Cx) of existing buildings to verify system performance and interconnectivity Commissioning forms and reports that provide a baseline for documentation Sample reports and commissioning documentation
A commissioning expert says:

NFPA 3 gives a building owner an opportunity to take a new building out for a shakedown cruise...to see that all the complex systems operate in an integrated fashion. Paul Dunphy, Electrical Inspector/Compliance Coordinator,
Engineering and Utilities Division, Harvard University

innovative Code changes raise occupant safety to a new level!

responsive. Progressive. Dynamic. The 2012 Life Safety Code takes another leap forward.
Nontraditional use of buildings...cutting-edge designs... new technologies, materials, and construction practices. As the built environment and societal expectations change, so do the challenges to protect people from fire and related hazards. Fully updated to reflect the latest industry developments and lessons learned, the 2012 NFPA 101 is the new benchmark for life safety.
across-the-board safety rules for new high-rises promote consistency in protection.

For the first time, all new high-rise buildings must meet the requirements of the high-rise building package in Chapter 11. The integral provisions include sprinklers, standpipes, voice/alarm communication, emergency lighting and standby power, emergency command center, and emergency plans. Previous Code editions allowed specific occupancies to decide which aspects of the package should be applied at particular facilities. This important change will achieve consistency in the level of occupant protection regardless of whether it is an office building, factory, or hospital.
Follow the latest requirements to protect lives in all types of occupanciesassembly, health care, residential, industrial, and more!
NFPA 101 is the most widely used source for strategies for occupant safety throughout the life cycle of a building. Unique in the field, it is the only document that addresses life safety in both new and existing structures. From egress, sprinklers, and alarms to emergency lighting, smoke barriers, and special hazard protection, the LSC covers it.
2012 health care occupancy rules foster a more comfortable, home-like environment.
Developed in response to the cultural change movement in the health care industry, these 2012 Life Safety Code provisions are intended to make patients and residents feel more at home and in control of their schedules and activities:

Certain items, including fixed furniture and wheeled equipment, can now be placed in corridors. Occupant-use kitchens can open to corridors or common spaces, permitting more socialization. Increased quantities of decorations on walls in occupant rooms and common areas are allowed.
2012 NFPA 101 revisions advance culture change in health care.

As societys needs evolve, so does the Life Safety Code. Stay up-to-date and be ready to apply important innovations in the 2012 Code involving door locking, suite arrangements, and new criteria for home-like settings in long-term care facilities that respond to the culture change movement within the health care industry. New and revised requirements related to furniture in corridors, residential kitchens, and wall decorations help create a less institutional atmosphere, increased socialization, and a greater sense of autonomy for residents, resulting in an improved quality of life without sacrificing life safety protections. 84
Other significant modifications and additions include:

New rules for carbon monoxide (CO) alarms or detection systems in certain residential living units Changes for exit stair enclosure path markings Egress chapter provisions for safe use of elevators for occupant evacuation Relaxation of the means of egress provisions for unoccupied building service equipment support areas
an industry expert says...

The 2012 edition of NFPA 101 addresses the increasing complexities surrounding building design and construction, and as a result, reaffirms its standing as the most comprehensive and up to date life safety code ever published, says Russ Leavitt, Executive Chairman, Telgian Corporation, Tempe, AZ.
