NFPA (Fire) 10 Historical

Portable fire extinguishers are effective against small fires -- but only if equipment is properly placed, efficiently maintained, and used by trained individuals. If your work involves this critical first defense, you need the latest NFPA 10. 

OSHA relies on NFPA 10 to develop its workplace training regulations because it contains the clearest, most widely accepted rules for distribution and placement, maintenance, operation, inspection, testing, and recharging. And only the 2002 edition provides:

• Clarified Class C requirements
• Important changes to Class K requirements
• A new mandate for Class K extinguishers for fryer protection in commercial kitchens
• An all-new provision for electronic monitoring of equipment

The revised format meets NFPA's Manual of Style, making this edition the most user-friendly ever. Match the right extinguisher to the job, and give equipment its best chance against fire with the new, improved NFPA 10!
