1 2017 NFPA Conference & Expo Protecting Special Industrial Hazards with NFPA Codes & Standards Different Facilities & Similar Risks Presented by: Bruce H. Clarke, CFPS, UL- CRP Head of Global Property Engineering Training AIG

2 Meet Your Presenter Bruce H. Clarke AIG Head of Head of Global Property Engineering Training Over 25 years of property insurance loss prevention Over $30B in new construction FP specifications/commissioning globally. Over 1000 fire pump tests globally Currently responsible for managing training & engineering consistency globally over 600 LP engineers in ~50 countries NFPA trainer, OLL SME, and NFPA 3, 4, 13, 25, & 318 member. FP & NFPA 25 Handbook contributing author, past CFPS BoD, past SFPE Arizona & Carolinas Chapters President.

3 Session Goals and Objectives To have a better understanding of: NFPA reference process for fire protection analysis and specifications of facilities The ease in application of codes and standards for both large and small, simple and complex, clean or dirty sites The complexity in application of codes and standards for both large and small, simple and complex, clean or dirty sites Specific NFPA protection requirements resources for building and hazards protection Specific NFPA protection requirements resources for property risk management

4 Why NFPA SAFETY IS EVERYBODY S BUSINESS Disasters can occur anywhere, and they often occur when we least expect them. NFPA standards provide ways to prevent their occurrence, manage their impact, and protect society. One of the most notable features about NFPA s Standards Development Process is that it is a full, open, consensus based process. Full consensus means that anybody can participate and expect fair and equal treatment because safety is everybody s business.

5 A Tale of Two Risks The Semiconductor Fab The Mining Operation

6 Where to Begin- the occupancy hazards Offices Cleanrooms Support buildings Oxygen plants Central plants Electrical & control rooms Waste treatment Warehouses Offices Milling/casting/rolling Support buildings Oxygen plants Central plants Electrical & control rooms Waste treatment Warehouses

7 Where to Begin- the occupancy hazards ATS systems/robotics Equipment High value High business impact Complex Operation Replacement Very Sensitive Conveyors Equipment High value High business impact Complex Operation Replacement Very big/heavy

8 Where to Begin- occupancy/hazard protection

9 Where to Begin- occupancy/hazard protection Office non storage general areas Chapter 5 and 11I sent it to my daughters and said this is a mandatory party. They can each bring one redneck boy to help and beer will be provided but, they each have 125 bags however they chose. They love me right now. I'm good for 50. Office non storage general areas Chapter 5 and 11

10 Where to Begin- occupancy/hazard protection Storage/warehouse areas: Chapter 5 and 12 Chapter 13 Miscellaneous Chapters Storage/warehouse areas: Chapter 5 and 12 Chapter 13 Miscellaneous Chapters Chapter 18

11 Where to Begin- occupancy/hazard protection NFPA 13 Chapter 22: 22.2: Flammables NFPA : Labs know type, per NFPA : IT equipment NFPA75 22:21: Cooling towers NFPA 214 NFPA 13 Chapter 22: 22.2: Flammables NFPA : Solvent extraction NFPA : Labs know type, per NFPA : IT equipment NFPA75 22:21: Cooling towers NFPA 214

12 Where to Begin- occupancy/hazard protection NFPA 13 Chapter 22: 22.23: Cleanroom at 0.20/3000 and, see NFPA 318 NFPA 13 Chapter 22: 22.35: NFPA 120 for coal mines? Underground, crusher buildings, conveyors, surface buildings 22.36: NFPA 122 for metal/nonmetal mining and mineral processing SXEW

13 Where to Begin- occupancy/hazard protection Special considerations Clean environment special HVAC systems and interlocks Special gases and systems... such as burn boxes, pyrophorics, and special waste Special considerations Dirty environment hard on FPS Mobile equipment Open & remote proximity to public services (and assistance)

14 Where to Begin- special hazard protection Special considerations On site supplier facilities Gas bullets Electrical rooms Transformers Furnaces Special considerations On site supplier facilities Gas bullets Electrical rooms Transformers Furnaces

15 Where to Begin- special hazard protection Special considerations Semiconductor Fabrication NFPA 318 Special considerations Metals mining (and mobile equipment) NFPA 122 (old 121) Metals processing NFPA 480 s Explosives NFPA 495

16 Where to Begin- occupancy/hazard management & Risk Management Fire system ITM s Fire system impairment management Hot work Housekeeping IR Thermography inspections Equipment maintenance Chemical management Confined space Fire brigades Security Emergency response
