Protect industrial workers from flash fire hazards with NFPA 2113's up-to-date provisions for PPE selection, use, and maintenance.
Developed primarily for garment end users to reduce the risks caused by incorrect maintenance, contamination, or damage, NFPA 2113 provides minimum requirements for the correct selection, care, use, and maintenance of flame-resistant garments compliant with the NFPA 2112 Standard on Flame-Resistant Garments for Protection of Industrial Personnel Against Flash Fire for use in areas at risk from flash fires.
Changes to the 2012 NFPA 2113 Standard on Selection, Care, Use, and Maintenance of Flame-Resistant Garments for Protection of Industrial Personnel Against Flash Fire include
· Scope and sections pertaining to the workplace hazard assessment have been modified to reflect that flame-resistant garments for industrial personnel can protect against other types of short-duration flame exposure.
· Additional Annex text was created to describe other types and possible sources of short-duration flame exposure.
· Definitions were updated to be consistent with the 2012 NFPA 2112 and the NFPA® Glossary of Terms.
This widely used Standard is essential for any company or facility that handles or processes flammable gas, flammable or combustible liquids, or combustible dust that may accumulate and/or deflagrate, exposing personnel to flash fire or short-duration flame exposure. (Softbound, 19 pp., 2012)
