December’s Meeting – NFPA 241

The next SAFER meeting will be held 12/4/2024 at Dimeo’s PVD Training Center. It will also be available via the Teams meeting that was recently sent out.

Good morning, the risk of fire during construction requires a continual and intentional assessment from project pursuit through warranty.  Once assessed, the development of mitigation strategies and application of best management practices must be established and maintained.  So where do we start?

The Rhode Island Fire Code click here has incorporated NFPA 1 – 2018 Edition in Chapter 7.  The NFPA 1 – 2018 edition contains a listing of references, NFPA 241 – 2013 Edition is included in that listing.  Chapter 16 “safeguarding construction, alteration, and demolition operations states “…shall comply with NFPA 241 and this chapter.”. 

On December 4, 2024, Joe Kelly click here for LinkedIn profile from Mass Construction Consulting will be presenting important information about NFPA 241.

Crowcon will provide an overview of gas detection equipment with an emphasis on carbon monoxide.
