NFPA 241
Standard for Safeguarding Construction, Alteration, & Demolition Operations
What is NFPA 241?
Standard for Safeguarding Construction, Alteration, and Demolition Operations is a code developed by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) to provide guidelines for fire prevention and protection measures during construction, alteration, and demolition activities. The primary purpose of NFPA 241 is to mitigate the risk of fire and ensure the safety of both the personnel involved and the general public. Key objectives of NFPA 241 include:
1. Fire Prevention Planning: Establishing a comprehensive fire prevention program specific to the construction site, including identifying hazards and implementing controls to prevent fires.
2. Protection Measures: Mandating the use of temporary fire protection systems, such as portable fire extinguishers, standpipes, and fire alarm systems during the construction phase.
3. Housekeeping and Waste Management: Ensuring that combustible waste materials are properly managed and removed regularly to reduce fire load and potential ignition sources.
4. Hot Work Safety: Providing strict guidelines for hot work operations (e.g., welding, cutting) to prevent fires from sparks and heat.
5. Emergency Preparedness: Establishing procedures for emergency response, including fire department access, site evacuation plans, and drills.
6. Material Storage and Handling: Regulating the storage and handling of flammable and combustible materials to minimize fire risk.
