Fire safety regulations and standards provide a framework for minimizing fire risks and ensuring the safety of people and property. Organizations like the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) develop consensus-based codes and standards that offer guidance on various aspects of fire safety, from building design and construction to fire suppression systems and emergency procedures. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) sets and enforces workplace safety standards, including those related to fire safety. Compliance with these regulations and standards is crucial for preventing fires, reducing fire-related injuries and fatalities, and minimizing property damage. Understanding and adhering to the relevant NFPA codes and OSHA regulations is essential for anyone involved in fire safety, from building owners and managers to fire protection engineers and emergency responders.
