NFPA Updates Standards


The NFPA Committee on Loss Prevention Procedures and Practices is accepting public comment on the Industrial Fire Brigade Standard (NFPA 600) and the Security Services in Fire Loss Prevent Standard (NFPA 601) until Jan. 4, 2013. NFPA 600 contains requirements for organizing, training and operating three styles of brigades on facility properties, while NFPA 601 contains similar requirements for security personnel who perform fire loss prevention duties. Both standards, which were last reissued in 2012, will be updated in draft form by 2013, published for final comment and reissued by 2014. For more information on NFPA standards, click here
