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.
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
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.

Where to Begin- occupancy/hazard protection
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.
