Reduce fire and explosion hazards for
workers who spray volatile substances with NFPA 33.
Apply NFPA 33 and boost fire safety on
the job with the latest rules for the construction of spray rooms and spray
booths, along with their electrical systems, ventilation, fire protection
systems, handling of flammable liquids, operations, and maintenance.
Revisions in the 2007 edition that
improve fire prevention and fire protection include:
- Clearer definition of what is and is not
considered to be a spray area
- Recognition of the NEC® zone system
of classifying hazardous locations for Class II (dust/powder) locations
- Allowance of fire retardant combustible
construction materials for ductwork connected to powder coating spray booths
- Better correlation with NFPA 30
rules concerning maximum quantities of flammable and combustible liquids
- New rules for protection of spray area
exhaust ducts
- Guidance for designating some highly
resistive work pieces as grounded, if they meet specified criteria
- More definitive requirements for drying,
curing, fusion apparatus used in limited finishing workstations
Don't take chances around flammable and
combustible materials. Put industry best practices to work for you with the
2007 NFPA 33.
