Help ensure safety at facilities where flammable or combustible liquids are sprayed.
Follow best practices for fire and electrical safety in your workplace by referencing hazards related to the spray application of flammable or combustible materials. NFPA 33, Standard for Spray Application Using Flammable or Combustible Materials, covers vital rules for the spray application of coatings, the handling of flammable liquids, and the construction of spray rooms, spray booths, and spray areas. These rules pertain to ventilation, electrical installations, and fire protection systems, and more.
