It also contains describes techniques for securing effective response to fires in industrial, commercial, institutional, and similar properties. 1.1.2 This standard provides minimum requirements for the occupational safety and health of industrial fire brigade members while performing fire fighting firefighting and related response activities. The new language for 1.1.1 comes from the official Committee Scope, "This Committee shall have primary responsibility for documents on fire brigades, guard services, and techniques for securing effective fire loss prevention programs in industrial, commercial, institutional, and similar properties." The intent of this public input is to show directly that response to fire loss is covered by this standard and not just the decision to provide a fire brigade. The standard currently applies to industrial, commercial, institutional, and similar properties (see definition of industrial occupancy in 3.3.18). Also comply with MOS, 1.8.1 Subdivisions. All subdivisions shall contain at least two subdivisions (i.e., 3.1, 3.2 or 4.1.1, 4.1.2) and 1.8.4 Paragraphs and Subparagraphs. Multiple requirements within subsections shall be treated as separate paragraphs and subparagraphs, which shall be permitted to be further broken down into subsubparagraphs.

Page 27 of 37 Public Input No. 4-NFPA 600-2012 [ Section No. A.1.1.3 ] A.1.1 3.3 2 It is the intent that industrial fire brigade members, who are trained and qualified under the guidance of this standard respond to familiar hazards that are common to the industrial facility being protected. Industrial fire brigades complying with the requirements of this standard should be permitted to respond to fires outside the boundaries of the industrial facility only when the industrial fire brigade is trained and familiar with the hazards associated with the fire. For example, an industrial fire brigade having appropriate training in accordance with this standard can respond to a fire involving an enclosed structure outside the boundaries of the industrial facility, if such response was anticipated and preplanned by industrial fire brigade management. Each industrial fire brigade member should be familiar with the layout and contents of the structure and should be provided with the opportunity to tour the structure at least quarterly. Change the paragraph number to coincide with a proposed change in the body text to comply with the MOS.

The scope of industrial fire brigade actions and responsibilities is based on the specific response duties that the industrial fire brigade members are expected to perform. If an industrial fire brigade member is not expected to perform a particular firefighting function, then management has no obligation to train or equip the industrial fire brigade member to perform that function.
