NFPA is seeking comment on the first draft of the NFPA 350 Confined
Spaces Standard. All comments will be considered by a technical committee at
the second draft meeting, planned for the first quarter of 2015. Comments can
be submitted through Nov. 14, 2014.
Per NFPA, the “guide is intended to protect workers who enter into
confined spaces for inspection or testing or to perform associated work from
death and from life-threatening and other injuries or illnesses and to protect
facilities, equipment, non–confined space personnel and the public from
injuries associated with confined space incidents.”
Any individual interested in applying to the technical committee can
apply online. One is not required to be a committee member or an NFPA member to
be involved in the revision process. Individuals seeking to participate or with
other questions on the revision should contact npearce@nfpa.org.
